Default A Trip With Preacherman:Hop Aboard (1)
OK my DPS friends. I am taking you on one of my 2008 trips. We are going across N France to Geneva, across S Germany to Austria. We will cross Austria (East to West) to Vienna via Innsbruck and Saltzburg. We will then cross the border into Czech Republic (trying to avoid all the ladies of the night who gather there) and then north to Prague. We then will make our way back west via Nuremburg and Luxemburg, through S Belgium back to Calais, then home safe and sound. These are just snaps, but it's the company I am going to enjoy. Afraid it's camping all the way folks (except for 1 night in a hotel in Vienna). So hop aboard and enjoy. PAUL

So here is your accommodation in N France. 6 Euros for the night. Nothing too good for my friends.
Luxury accommodation

Cruising now on a typical french road heading for Switzerland

Rounding the S side of Lake Geneva

In Geneva. We will settle here for the night. Have a good rest and I will see you in the morning. Good night, God bless.

Thank you Shelley. Glad you like them. Prefer twisty roads though when on the bike. The thrill of leaning over! PAUL

Thanks, Paul, I'd love to come! Not sure about the sleeping on the ground part though. Love that photo of the French road -- thanks.
