Comments on: A Motorhome trip to Italy http://www.gl1800.org.uk/off-topic/a-motorhome-trip-to-italy/ an on-line magazine for the UK GoldWing Community Sun, 05 Feb 2012 12:43:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Frank and Judy Goodman http://www.gl1800.org.uk/off-topic/a-motorhome-trip-to-italy/comment-page-1/#comment-631 Frank and Judy Goodman Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:42:00 +0000 http://www.gl1800.org.uk/?p=2452#comment-631 As one half of the Goldwing quartet (or proper bikers) we enjoyed our time in Italy too. We had a full week at Limone across the lake from the motorhomers, (the bacon butties over there at the cafe Ormerod were delicious) Lake Garda is such a beautiful place and we were well placed for touring on the bikes or just chilling and having a short walk into the town for a coffee or proper drink or even an ice cream or two. Our journey to Lake Garda was interesting, we saw some wonderful places and stayed at some of them, as Stuart said, Innsbruck was really enjoyable, we stayed there for 2 nights, (and we had a galaxy of stars on our bedroom ceiling) we went up the mountain and into the snow, the boys played in the snow and threw snowballs at us and Frank climbed right to the top to find a bricky building a wall, it was a good day. Thanks to Pete and Jean for all the hard work planning our journey, hotels etc. And of course the good company. All in all it was a really good holiday, places well worth visiting.

I can't remember having such fun in the rain in a field since I was in the Boy Scouts. Sad in a way that you and Jackie spoiled it all for us blokes by working out how the thing would actually go up. And of course once erected it was a veritable Bedouin Palace of a tent - far more spacious and elegantly lined that any mere motorhome! Still I can understand the decision to go for a motorhome and I'm sure you won't regret it. Bill Squires's Trailer is up for sale as soon as he gets back from Spain so that might complete your outfit!

Stuart,

This makes me want to go a bit further afield next year – have to see what I can arrange for Italy.
