... and I mean NARROW, streets with 25% uphill slopes through now sleepy villages. I’m sure the locals were confused and amused by a band of wayward motorcyclists roaring through their narrow village streets which were not wide enough for even the smallest of European cars. We made it to the hotel just in time to change for dinner and joined the rest of the riders. Lots of stories to share about finding the misguided hotel. Especially in the ...
