Inspired by a flyer from the BMW Motorrad travel people, which proposed a trip on a ferry from Venice to Patra in Greece, we thought it would be kind of interesting to do something similar, but a bit less well-organised! A quick spot of browsing, and the ferry provider was located, and yes, they still do ferries and they do take motorcycles - and they also take 30 hours to get from Venice to Greece! That's still a lot faster than us, so game on!
We take three days to get to Venice, which will be quite a tough haul on motorways all the time, but at least they are relatively stress-free, other than the tolls... An overnight stop in Basel to see Liz, Kirsty and The Twins, where Ollybobs will hopefully be primed to ask Jim to read to him all night, and then we're onto Venice. An overnight there (sadly not on the island!) and an easy morning start for the ferry for 10 am.
After that, it's making a more leisurely way up the Adriatic coast, through Albania, Croatia, Herzegovina, Slovenia to Italy and Trieste, where we stay for two nights as a rest and explore opportunity. Then it's more motorway blatting all the way home...
