Just having a nice relaxing ride South - so many bikes on the road including many Burgmen of all denominations.
Since my last posting I have travelled through the Czech republic (Prague has the best beer in the world!),

Austria,
Slovakia,
Hungary
and Croatia.
I'm now getting close to my final destination (Palermo Sicily) and am enjoying it so much I feel like turning around and doing it all again. The road gets into your soul (the journey is the destination) and the Burgie has been a faithful companion to me, albeit a bit worn and tired after all I have asked of it.
Soon, alas, it will all come to an end but in the meantime I will try and prolong these final days as long as possible.
The Italians are an interesting people - easily excitable and lively, but also very helpful. My final task will be to get the Burgie safely on board a ship back to Australia. I am not looking forward to this as it is going to be a challenging and onerous activity, and it aso represents the end of my time on the road.
