In Conclusion

Although the trip was 2 weeks it feels to have been a lot longer. It is nice, however, just to have to unpack for once.

We did roughly 2,500 miles excluding the ferries.

Highlights:

• Castellane (location and hotel)
• The Grand Hotel - Sete
• The restaurant in Andermatt
• Bad Oberdorf (easy call as this is our home from home)
• All the route apart from blind hairpins and German Autobahns.

Room for Improvement:

• Sete - didn't realise it would be so touristy. I expected nice sea food restaurants not a mass of all you can eat for €20 establishments.
• Val D'Isere - if it closes for summer it should say so.
• Andermatt - currently under reconstruction.
• German autobahns - unbelievable road works!

Thanks go to all those who contributed to the trip with route and accommodation suggestions (oh - that will be me...), my pillion photographer, and last but by no means least the bike which lugged us and our copious luggage across Europe without missing a beat.

Thanks for reading. I hope it was worth it (even for the one view the blog has had from Iran!).
