Moldova 2019 on a BMW R1250 GS Adv, Part 12: Italian Curves

In this 12th and final part of the Moldova 2019 trip series, we ride in the Italian Alps (aka the Dolomites) with its curvy roads and hairpins, before going home via Prague. It was a great week with lots of fast rides, and spectacular views.

The Moldova 2019 trip is a three-week trip that will take us through former East Germany to Czech Republic continuing to Slovakia to Ukraine then crossing the border to Moldova to kissin now to see the non-government organisation open health continuing to Romania into Serbia and then into Montenegro into a mature then into

Bosnia and Herzegovina to creation into Slovenia after week in the Italian Alps we will be riding back home via Prague another fantastic morning I’m so lucky to be in this place on this bike at this moment we need to backtrack a little bit to get in to get onto the route

We had to get out of the way a little bit to find a place to stay for the night the initial thought was oh let’s not finish this place this is a versus what is this place and it turned out to be you know the host and hostess or really really fantastic

The rooms were although that the building itself was not completely done the rooms that we had was they were very very nice rooms very very very quiet safe parking for the bikes behind the building and I slept with my windows wide open all night and there were no sound whatsoever

I woke up at 6:00 though because it was light and I went to bed at 11:00 so there was plenty of sleep for me yeah I slept like a baby it was a good place and the breakfast this morning everything was it was simple breakfast but the quality of it

Was fantastic everything was homemade the sausage was homemade the bread was homemade Man so on the last day after right before we meet up with the others we’re taking the fastest route and quite fast here we are in the Dolomites most Alamitos taking pictures it’s like we’re getting above the treeline now to serve a shot first so they seen quite a lot of bicycles

Going downhill but we haven’t seen anyone going uphill and I guess statistically you should do year same amount going up as going down so I’m guessing that they are not bicycling uphill they’re both being transported at the best corner not inside the above the tree line I

Guess the hotel in Italy this is a apartment I’m sharing an apartment with a guy called Caston and it’s pretty awesome with let me just flip the camera and I’ll show you around kitchen area it’s pretty nice the dining area there’s a bathroom with a machine on doing some

Laundry right now here’s where Carson’s gonna stay he has his opening a private toilet they over there this is my room this is a kid’s room and I will be having one of those bedmate don’t know which one I hope it’s not the tough one look at the view outside how cool is

That it is awesome what a nice view it is Sunday morning this is the first tool with a group we livin right us I think we’ve just left the hotel and refueled ready to hit the roads I was having it to beating and massage which was quite a

Funny experience with those huge belts on my stomach and then she banged it and get together with the vibration all through my body and I’m sure it it it’s nice that’s the nice of you here right for the GPS that in 300 meters make a u-turn then make a u-turn that director Mr. no there mr. phalanx and hips accrue a leaky inane you did a horse finger where you have a linear polymer food It’s a nice treatment here all those trees look at that all those fallen trees So it riding in a thunderstorm which was about very pleasant we’re almost home from the trip for today time to refuel but odd it was really really really raining cats and dogs oh I don’t know 45 minutes or an hour and it was the middle of a thunderstorm

And it was borderline not safe with the lightning they were so bad that you on the bike had to at some point only go there like 40 km/h because you can see well you couldn’t you can see what the rotors but he can’t really see what the surface is

Still a potholes or because it was just water or all over the place but the risk the gopro on filming it because I have this mic adapt I have touched to it so it’s not really broken water proof but it was really really everywhere how God now

So Friday morning we have just left the hotel and said goodbye to the guys it has been a great week my tires have been worn a lot faster last week doing all those happens in a very to me it’s was a quite fast pace but fun nonetheless Tony are having a

Back home we spending three days taking it easy the first day is really just getting out of the Dolomites aka the Italian Alps and tomorrow it’s about getting to Prague and Sunday it’s getting home but I will enjoy the last day of the Dolomites for sure it’s really really

Fantastic and I do want to come back the weather forecast is not too optimistic the next few days so we do expect to ride a lot in the rain it’s not such a big deal as long as we are relatively dry and warm it’s not such a big deal we’re just taking this

Was a sign that you are entering Austria but it’s all singing so who cares so we are in Austria rings nothing whether you want involve in right in but man’s gotta do what a man’s got to do and we are heading for fraught so that’ll be super exciting so we have left the

The shrinking virgin shits enough legend Hotel it was raining cats and dogs just a little while ago really really heavy rain but we on our way to Prague we have set the destination to the shortest route so that will take us through a bunch of fare smaller villages so that’ll take a

Little bit more time but we’d rather do that we have plenty of time looks like a cozy little town when we wrote through Salzburg yesterday there was really a nightmare so slow and we had to stop for each Junction it there was a red light at each Junction
