  4. Venice this morning :) :upyeah:

    I even watched a wedding where the bride arrived by Gondola, not something you see everyday :upyeah:

  8. Spent all day here. Interesting place and didn't have our eyeballs taken out with prices as expected.

    Some massive cruise ships in and the place was full of Americans.

    My mate was obsessed with showing us where the gondola scene was shot for James Bond's Moonraker. Who says I can't do culture? :laughing:

  18. Yep, that day we we're photographed five times, only one we didn't note the website address, those were the best of the bunch (both the same company but different photographers). One was on the Col du Galibier, the other on the Col d'Izoard.

  19. You staying somewhere different every night? Quite fancy a long road trip but it was bad enough in a car, never mind un packing a bike every night!
     
  20. Yes, except 3 days in Venice. Not too bad packing once you get used to it and you see more this way.
