They are going to stop the vehicle transport trains from Germany to Italy and France by the end of 2014. 
So I took a last chance and booked the train from here to Alessandria, Italy in October.
So me, my wife and the bird are going on a 2 weeks trip to Tuscany.
Intensely looking forward....
Any advices from the forum???

Very good page you have. Will look it up for preparation of the trip. Funny to read your blog as well.
The motorway vid from Alessandria to Genova is fun to watch. We are going to take that road as well. First over night stop will be Lucca.
What was your favorite place or road during the trip?

All this reminiscing is making me incredibly jealous, time to start planning naxt years trip then !
Ride safe and enjoy your trip.
