Italy / Austria / Slovenia: Moto Trip Switzerland: Day 9 - Kreuzberg PassCima SappadaPlöcken Pass and Ljubelj with a Mark Knopfler concert


Yearly vacation started and with Nada we decided to have a motorbike trip, exploring Switzerland. The last day of our vacation time has come and all we needed to do, is to ride safe back home. On the way we added 4 more passes on our list of passes, 3 in Italy (Kreuzberg Pass, Cima Sappada, Plöcken Pass), 2 in Austria (Plöcken Pass and Ljubelj) and 1 in Slovenia (Ljubelj).

Previous days of our motorbike trip to Switzerland: Day 8Day 7Day 6Day 5Day 4Day3Day 2 and Day 1.

In the evening we had the tickets for the Mark Knopfler concert in Ljubljana and with our friends Saška and Vlado, we enjoyed the evening of great music.
