RALLY ITINERARY
The detailed Rally Itinerary can be seen HERE.
The Basic Rally package will begin at a meeting place in Pisa, Italy, on Monday, Jun 14, 2010. You are on your own to get there, but the travel agency is available to assist you in every way possible. They have arranged a pre-Rally option in Venice, as well as a "Jet Lag Recovery" hotel should you wish to arrive in Pisa a day or two early and just rest. From the meeting place in Pisa, we will travel by motorcoach to our first scheduled hotel in Pontedera, where we will enjoy a welcome dinner, get to know each other, discuss our plans and get a good night's sleep.
On Day 2, we will have a hearty breakfast, pick up our scooters and ride to the Piaggio Museum - after all, why would you come to Italy and miss Piaggio? From there we will ride to five different cities, spending two nights at each city. Thus, the pattern will be a day of scenic cross country riding followed by a day where you are free to explore, relax or do anything you wish on your own. Our itinerary ends when we turn in our scooters in Pontedera on Friday, Jun 25, and you are free to depart as you see fit. The travel agency has an optional 2 day add on in Rome, if you desire, or you can catch the train in Pontedera to your next destination. Again, the travel agency is at your beck and call for assisting you.
We will have a small van for baggage. Exact baggage limitations will be provided in an information sheet when you are ready to book your reservations. Plan on the van carrying one medium (23 in x 14 in x 10 in) suitcase per person, or one large (26in x 18 in x 11 in) suitcase per couple - your choice. Anything else will have to be packed on your scooter!
The travel agency has a variety of optional extra activities at each city on the itinerary. You can book any of these options, or do as you see fit. Other than the point to point rides between cities, the tour is not rigidly structured. And, you can develop alternate routes between cities if you wish. In short, this will be, to the greatest extent possible, YOUR holiday.
We have the Rally Participants' Forum for you to discuss and propose activities on your own, as well as to get answers to any questions you might have. The travel agency participates in the Forum.
