Good time of the year in Florida for riding!!!

[the Ferret]

Pterodactyl..my wife and I did a 9 day tour with Edelweiss in 2010 and got to ride in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria as well as France and Lichtenstein and without question Austria was my wife's and I favorite country as far as roads and beauty go.

I would really love to ride in Australia and New Zealand one day.

Come on down and see us Ferret. Perhaps in your winter?

That would be a dream come true. May e someday!

Ferret...was Edelweiss as good as it looks and sounds?

Gheil, Edelweiss was great. Good guides, good hotels, good meals, the riding days weren't too long or too short, they knew where to go, how to get to the interesting places and good roads without wasting time. We were really pleased. Great way to negotiate foreign countries where you do not know the languages, customs, menus etc. It was pricey though for someone of my financial means. I saved for 10 years for the trip. Worth every penny to me.

Some don't want to be led around by the nose, they want to explore at their own pace, so they pooh pooh the idea of riding in a group at a certain pace ( which was pretty quick I might add) but my wife and I really enjoyed being taken care of. We did spend a couple days on each end exploring on our own by foot, bus and train around Germany.

If I had a lot more money I'd let Edelweiss guide me around a lot of countries..Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Scotland, Ireland, Italy would be high on my list and I'd go back to Europe in a heartbeat Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France and Lichtenstein were awesome.
