Karl, that sounds like a wonderful route. I'm tempted to use it myself for a ride through Austria. Now it's up to Ron to decide whether he wants to do a lot of travelling by car, or whether he wants to head for two or three places from which to make excursions. I used to do a lot of travelling, a different hotel every day. Nowadays, I prefer to go to one or two places so that I can go on day trips from there and know that I can return comfortably in the evening, not have to pack my bags every day and have a nice dinner instead of having to travel somewhere else in the afternoon. For the last five years, we have travelled to northern Italy in late May and early June with our eldest daughter and her husband in the Morgan (the daughter in an MX5 ND). The first few trips were dominated by driving. The last three tours were in two places for eight days. It was much more relaxed, and the hiking took up more space than the driving. But in this mixture, both were very nice at the same time. Karl, what would be two or three places you would recommend along the route you described (even if it were shorter) to realize a mixture of driving and resting?
