Entry 021: Don't Believe the Hype

You need to ride Stelvio, they said.

It was riddled with roadworks and tourists.

You need to ride the Black Forest, they said.

The constant speed changes and traffic ruined it.

You need to go to Lofoten they said.

I spent a month avoiding motorhomes.

Don’t bother with Luxembourg, they said.

I found peace.

Skip the Vosges, they said.

I made friends for life.

Corsica is too far, they said.

I found my spiritual home.

Don’t believe the hype.
