gsf,

I went back to Europe this summer(2011), and rode 4 passes through the Alps
in Switzerland. Even rode into a cloud at about 2500 meters !
Traveled in Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany, Denmark, and France.
Visted Dacchau, Weimar, Dresden, Cologne, Berlin, Stuttgart,
Heidelberg, Bueckeburg.
Stayed in youth hostels mostly.
Also visited Bitche, France, with its Citadel de Bitche.
My son enjoyed driving at high speeds on the autobahn.
Attended the Boss Hoss International Rally in Hasselfelde/Harz/Deutschland.
SUPER trip !
