    Almost had an accident

    I almost had a nasty accident on my travel by motorcycle from Venice back to Copenhagen, and somebody definitely had one. I left Venice just after noon on Thursday, and decided to drive through the night to get as far as possible before stopping to sleep. Everything went smoothly for about a 1000km, until approx.…

  • Arrived in Cardedu

    I arrived in Cardedu in the afternoon on Saturday, and I was hardly in the door at Francesco’s before he declared that we were going fishing in kayak that afternoon. It is like that at Francesco’s house. It is very hard not to end up paddling most of the time. We went to a local…

  • Homeward bound

    Homeward bound

    I’m on my way north now. I left Palermo Sunday evening with the ferry to Naples, from where I went by motorbike to Rome. The crossing was eventless, the ferry mostly empty. The ferry arrived in Naples early, around 6:30, and I was on the motorway before seven, as the sun rose over the Appenines.…

  • Expensive motorcycle

    So, now the process of importing my old motorcycle from Italy is almost over. I’ve paid the import taxes, which were more than I originally paid for the motorcycle in Italy, I have the Danish licence plate and insurance, so now I can finally enjoy having a motorcycle again.
