Motorcycle Tour Ireland to Romania Ep 14 – Bosnia Herzegovina, Croatia , Slovenia, Italy & Austria. A STUNNING COASTAL ROUTE AND THEN THE MOUNTAINS !
In this episode, we left our hotel in Neum, Bosnia Herzegovina, and travelled along the beautiful coast into Croatia ( called in to SPLIT to get more SD cards for my Go Pro, and annoyingly lost some footage from this section of our tour). Split was really busy, so we continued up the coastline, before eventually meeting John in SENJ ( Croatia), at a campsite – he had sent us a location pin, but there turned out to be two campsites – one of which he was staying at, but the pin directed us to the adjacent one, and we found him at the coastline bar, after 8 that night.
The next morning, we headed further north to ride through RIJEKA,PODGRAD, TRIESTE, MONFALCONE, UDINE, and eventually up the fantastic PLÖCKEN PASS, which is a fantastic road to ride to go from Italy into Austria – a Pass built by bikers, for bikers !!
BACKGROUND
Bucket List Trip to Transfargarasan Pass leaving via Ballygawley in Co Tyrone Ireland ( our meeting point ) to our ferries – Belfast / Cairnryan then Newcastle / Ijmuiden.
We set off to ride from Ireland to ride the Tranfargarasan Pass in Romania – a road recommended by BBC Top Gear as one of the best roads, so we travelled through 15 countries, travelled 4558 miles door to door, saw fantastic sights, roads, BEARS !! Met loads of interesting people and experienced a trip of a life time / bucket list stuff- just fantastic.
A mix of camping and hotels, but such a bit of craic along the way. Very lucky men and thanks to all who held the fort at home when we were away !!
I hope the trip footage helps inspire you to maybe take the plunge and try riding to some of your bucket list places etc – if we can do it, hopefully, so can you.
Cheers. T
