HELLO LINKED READERS Family and friends.
Kathy and Dan with Sea Star red mobile, F700GS in Spain
Sea Star red mobile is back from Europe and would like to share pictures with you from Picasa web albums. Enjoy and I'll add to these as I am able. I will fix errors as they are discovered. This map can not be zoomed.
The first slide show will be of Heidelberg, Germany---- Swiss pass Andermatt to Oberalp which had just opened for the season-----, then moving into Italy's Passo de Pratarena----- and Castelnuovo de Mont --. for a third overnight on the way to Montenidoli from Stefan Knoff's bed and breakfast near Heidelberg.
Dan's and my purpose here is to ride twisty roads in Europe rather than flat, hot ones in Florida. We just so happened to have a relative who knows someone in Tuscany and he arranged for our stay.
At the end of the picture set are three short movies, two at Oberalp and the third way above the town of Castlenuovo de Mont, Italy.
 |
| Dan knows we have arrived at Stefan's motorcycle tour business in Heidelberg |
 |
| See toilet back.. |
 |
| Shower curtain |
 |
| Poster of engine-- We have been assigned the Beemer Room. Very cool. |
 |
| Dan and I have a few days to explore Heidelberg and get settled waiting for the new Red bike we call Sea Star Red to arrive by ship from Orlando, FL |
 |
| A Heidelberg tourist destination is the Heidelberg Castle many parts of which were used in the 12th century by fires and changes have occurred and one basically tours the outsides, the gardens and the fabulous wine vats in a lower area. |
 |
| A newer part is a hotel and visitor center |
 |
| Decoration on circular huge wine vat- perhaps 20' in diameter, taking up the entire wall. Tourists use the stairway to see the top of the barrel and get a sense of the grandeur. |
 |
| A much smaller wine vat. |
 |
| Apothecary |
 |
| Now walking the town mall area |
 |
| View across the river from the Castle |
 |
| Now our bike has arrived and we are off though the Black Forest |
 |
| And on through the Alps |
 |
| Date is May 5, 2013 |
 |
Resting at Passa de Pratorana
Kathy gets to ride on the back and sightsee while |
