3rd July
Original blog: RSRocket's Blog

Got ready to move on this morning but first went to lunch Eatcursor at the local bike bar with Mark on his 600F first (HOnda CBR 600F Mebbe?).Just like an Austrian version of Squires (our biggest local bike meeting place and where my bike club is based-link below so you get the picture-Angie) http://squires-cafe.co.uk/Afterwards, Mark set off back home-Me? I am having a kip................................. Tongue Off South to Croatia later but no rush as Slovenia is cool Cool Just South of Jubliana (think he may mean Ljubljana-thats all I can find on Google?) after a 3 hour motorway blast. Turns out I should have been paying a tax (what for?-Angie).Something called a vignette whatever that is. Seem to have got off ok but will see what drops through the letterbox when I get home! Shrug Found this on Wikipedia...Vignette (road tax), a small, colored sticker affixed to motor vehicles in some European nations t[i]o indicate road tolls have been paid. Now I wonder if all the foreign cars over here pay any sort of tax whilst they are here? Probably not-Angie[b][/i][b]In nice hilly and wooded country now so hammock sounds good, am ready for a bit of 'Lone Wolf' before hitting the beach life of Istria! Exclamation Been thinking a few days there and then maybe a bit of a tour of the Dolomites in Italy?Would probably have to blast it through France though and wouldn't have time to visit any friends if I am to be back for Angies Birthday....................................... Shocked [b]
quite a few euro countries have a requirement for vignette on their motorways (for both foreign and local vehicles)[b]its quite expensive for a single trip, which is a good enough excuse to keep to the back roads Wink

If he used the motorway, he would have needed a sticker, too. In Italy they have toll stations en-route, so you won't forget to pay. Germany is (so far) free of charge, Switzerland and France ar not (just FYI as I don't know his definite route back).Lars[b]
