First, I confused boxing world champion Michael Wilson with Jeremy Meeks. When I was looking for JM I came to his wife in the photo. Chloe Green. And from her to her father, One of the richest Britons, Sir Peter Green. Once I met him. And then several times. He walks like this in MC in sweatpants. He looked a little bad for the first time. He had big problems with the Daily Mail. Next time we winked at each other so friendly. So he’s here too.                                                                                                                                                             

Just 2m shorter than his 90m Lionheart is the super hig-tech sailboat The Maltese Falcon. It is the very top of the world of sailboats. To America in 10 days.                     

There is no point in taking pictures of Andorra here. It is one of the most common lp here. Today about 8.                                                                                                                                     

        TVR Cerbera ,90ties, my first.                                                                                                          Very rare Studebaker Golden Hawks 1958. Studebaker from Indiana 1952-1967.               

I’m here, even though theoretically it’s impossible. I am surprised. I remember MC so much that the feeling is the same as when I leave the house in Prague. But emotionally and visually, it’s something completely different. I don’t want to be anywhere else. In Dubai, New York, Istanbul. I wanted to be here again.                                                                                 

Not much has changed. Construction is starting to grow. Place du Casino is new. and where is the famous mirror ball Mirror of the Sky? Cars have a new route. There is more space for people – and especially for cars. How the modern communists in London, Hamburg and Prague boast that they have closed the square to cars. So here, on the contrary, they locked them in scooters! That’s why I’m here. Such an open-air museum will remain here. At least I feel far from all those builders of new tomorrows.                                    

Of course, I dressed less than in Prague. But still too much. 10º C is felt. So yeah. Unexpectedly good start! 34, between UAE, KSA, GBJ, AND, RSM and all N! And in Menton next market AL.                                                                                                                        P.S.: Virtually no Christmas attacks. No fairs, no American peelers from amplion that trampled me last year.                                                                                                                             P.S.1: Rolls Royce Silver Cloud Convertible 60ties .The price today is almost half a million €. How much did it cost then? So 5 or 10000 £ ? An ordinary car like the Morris or Lada cost 600-700£ in the GB in the 70s.                                                                                                    P.S.2: Monaco beach 3 years ago. Now only such a puddle will remain. (see pic. construction)                                                                                                                                         

Otherwise, I improved with an apartment of 15 square meters. And a balcony. So topical good night greeting.                                                                                                                                 

Over 30 a day. But that’s a delusion. When the trucks are over – there will be nothing. Just another lockdown. What is certain is that nothing is certain.

Woche mit 41 (-2) Staaten. Kein IRL u. N.

Isle of  Man GBM                                         Canada                                                               

All the predictions I dared (covid, etc.) were fulfilled. It’s just that they won’t come from the GBislands, I was wrong. After GBJ (I’m sorry – it was downright mystical), now GBM. Today only in the center for a while. Even so 27. It never was. Every tenth foreign car-catch. Fuck summer with a bunch of D, PL and NL and nothing.

In the final accounting, all states will have the same percentage of infected. And it will be close to 100%. Of course, the official number will be lower, because a lot of people (youth) do not even know about it.

PRG first snow, even in MC it’s cold. Exactly a year ago, a period of storm.                             

Woche mit 43 (+1) Länder. Alles ausser N.

Sebastian Ogier is finally the rally world champion this year again. Overall for the seventh time. Here from the year 2018. The winning car Toyota Yaris WRC from this year..                                      

I saw over MC and in D, they saw them in CH, but here’s the Premiere. TIR MA.                   

Plates spotting has no logic. I praise myself that I don’t have to go to the center and I was also calm that there was nothing there. I was recently going from a meeting right in the night center when he suddenly stopped there for a moment at yellow and then continued Range Rover JSY. So I just verified that it was a GBJ, even though it didn’t have a coat of arms.

Gray, cold, covid. No bike, no sun, no fun.

Diese Woche mit 42 (+2) Länder. In letzten Moment kamen in die Weg noch KZ u. KSA. Dagegen MNE , IRL u. N ganze Woche nicht.

And tomorrow I’m going to take a picture of one amazing lp. At least as far as the visual side is concerned. So soon again.

Unfortunately, his curtains were drawn, so I didn’t want to wake him. He must have had the LPRs inside to put on at home. I understand that with lp LPR, UA would not pass in good health.                                                                                                                                             

Woche mit viel Glück 40 (-4). Nur 1 B usw. Gar nicht GR u. N.

In fact, I canceled everything before I left. And then he drove off anyway. I meant Mission Impossible. And in the end it was extremely pleasant, nice for more than 20 days. There will never be such travel again. Train for myself, hotel for myself, all wi-fi capacity just for me. All at completely dumped prices.
Greetings from the dark and cold Czech.

I discovered SMOM territory. So I went to ask if they also have an original lp. From a very decent answer (something like Verona non presenta) I understood that they don’t.              Prague, turn 60/70. years. Trucks drive through the city.

Remembrance of the SMOM Hunt, Rome, March 2016.
Found on Piazza del Grillo (next Colloseum) It should be a square of crickets. Yes, it was about 20x10m. And in the evening the second, the one often photographed in the headquarters of the state of the no-state of SMOM.                                                                         

A traditional Sunday trip, the decision fell on San Bonifacio. The first grill from Desenzano. Right from the edge of the city, various TIR parkings start, which in the end turned out to be more interesting than the autostrada. So perhaps the most interesting was how he overtook us on the double-track express train to Venice. Trains (especially with containers) on this line have an interval like “metro” in Prague at peak times.                         

A total of 23 states were there to be seen. After the closure of Lombardy, personal traffic ceased completely. P for caravans where the SK stood is already completely empty on the third day.

40 (-2) Länder diese Woche. Diesmal fehlte IRL u. N. N bisher in I kein.

Sticked directly to the gigantic intersection of roads and railways, DSV, Schenker, Arcesse, LKW Walter, Hangartner and others spin their logistics spells. He still wants to see it on weekdays. Today there are 22 states.                                                                                                 

The scariest thing about everything is that Tesco itself has obviously put an unsold day old “koblížky” on the internet. But even worse is that this “koblížky” from Lidl Italia costs the same!                                                                                                                                                            Central parking lot for Verona tour buses. For decades filled buses with seniors admiring about 100 Verona churches and young people stick a message  in the hallway under Juliet’s balcony.                                                                                                             

Currently probably the freest territory in Europe. Venetto region (zona gialla). Only the restaurants close at 18 and no curfew from 23. Otherwise everything full of Italians. The positive atmosphere completely jumped out at me. No, it’s nowhere else.

Everything a person needs to live. Good living, bike, spotter place, where to go for good warm food etc.                                                                                                                                                  Found Lidl. Prices both in CZ or D. And especially the same goods. For example, donuts as in CZ. But unlike ours, where there is a little jam inside, here is perhaps half a kg of chocolate. I’ll take a picture next time. I remember discovering Lidl at the end of Nice and naively believing he would be like this. Not was the same as Casino or U. Totally hungry, I walked away. In the sun today 28! I like this intersection. Highway – it’s like watching a swarm of bees. 24 so far, but I’ll still go. I go from the room directly to the (empty) garage.       By the way, until recently, they counted ten times as such a hotel in Prague. I think those times are long, long gone.  

  That translation was done by donuts. But it’s the American ones, I don’t eat much. I meant these Czech Kobliha, the Germans call it Krapfen or in Berlin I mean Berliner. So here is an ordinary Czech Kobliha from Tesco. And tomorrow I’ll take a picture of an Italian Kobliha with chocolate.                                                                                                                    Tesco is in CZ a symbol of lousy food , lousy shop. Certainly Nr.1 Lidl is with us now. I buy about 80% there. They also have the best slogan. Lidl- jednička v čerstvosti (number one in freshness) .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

An unprecedented bustle accompanied the last day in Lombardy. From tomorrow a deep lockdown with a ban on leaving the region. Property owners have moved back and forth. The Italians met for the last time, which today can be opened until the 18th. Full bars, all in discussion, tutti senza la mascherina.                                                                                           

Gigantic car parks as always during the day completely empty. I’d better go to our roundabout. The traffic is moving slowly, everything can be seen. And just when I say to myself that the RSM is not driving anymore – so the truck. The highway is a completely unsuitable place for spotting. The opposite of cycling on MC from point of interest to point of interest.                                                                                                                                               

What was expected-happened. Mr Conte is just announcing to the Italian people. Lombardy, Piemont, Liguria, Calabria, etc. are classified in the red zone. This means a hard lockdown and a ban on leaving the zone. I’m here on the very eastern edge of Lombardia. A few km further Verona is the Venetto region. As long as it is warm, all day cycling and it probably doesn’t rain better than Prague. Gray, cold and everything, but everything closed.                                                                                                                              Gentle morning on Lake Garda and Verona – a city in the center of truck traffic. Today I saw with my own eyes 100% IR. Personal operation is practically non-existent. Number of overnight stays of foreign tourists in Italy 2019: 225 million. Today, I estimate that there are 2,000 of us overnight in the whole of Italy. This, of course, has a number of advantages. The peace, the prices, etc. For example, I got the best room with a terrace without asking, instead of what I ordered. Apart from me, some other visitors took turns. I’ve been alone for a few days now.

I went for 2 days and I’ve been here for 2 weeks. And I figure out where else to look. I have absolute comfort in an almost empty hotel. CZ is in a total lockdown, In I been everywhere before. Lp are nowhere.                                                                                                                         

Stop for Africa Race. MC probably got his hands off it. It was a great journey in terms of memories. I started at this time a year ago and did not believe that I would last 3 months and 1 week.

Surprise at the station in Desenzano. Before the train arrived, 2 attendants bypassed all the passengers and shot a gun in the forehead. Only then did it occur to me that the delayed pride of Freccia Rossa first arrived. So when our Regionale arrived, I felt exactly like Top Gear. How they had first class and Hammond took care of them and then my Scum Class.                                                                                                                                             

So I was able to discover the industrial zone until the end of the highway area stopped me. The junction of the Brennero-del Sole (dir. south) and Trieste-Torino autostrada is probably the largest by far. And with all the arrivals to collect fees perhaps the biggest.       

So here are 12 lanes! So I was not interested in watching it at all. By far the more interesting one of the branches leads this way. It reminded me of the 1970s in Prague, when all truck traffic was run directly through the center. At least I would record the KGZ here.                                                                                                                                                             

1 of 3 RSM, 26 states. And at dusk to the centro storico.                                                             

And finally, I discovered SK travelers. Perhaps the first of the day. They ran away like me. But the total lockdown hangs in the air …

Probably the best I’ve ever eaten. Lasagne al pesto.

Why did I like Milan for the first time?

Woche 44 (-2). Kein MD u. N. 

I pulled out the last joker for this year. And he failed. Libya has definitely disappeared. Where are the times when 5-10 pieces left the ship from TN.
So probably the greatest joy of Malta moto and truck.                                                           

I would be satisfied elsewhere. But here? 2 ships arrived from TN and one to MA. So still in consciousness, like such an Egypt CD?                                                                                     

TN about 15. Otherwise, I think that ships carry air. The only expedition- F on the return. Day 25 states.                                                                                                                                         

Positive: right here is the coop superstore. And there they have a warm counter and homemade Italian lunches in it. So you can choose without knowledge of Italian and also with your eyes. I chose Lasagne al pesto and they were famous. For a Czech who knows only goulash incomprehensibly. As I say. more joy cannot be experienced at this time.

How melodious Italian is! For example, the protection is a “rouška” in our country. Here “la masquerina”.

I also noticed that the cars that came from TN and had diesel – they smoked so unbelievably and smelled awful. The Toyota convoy was like a Trabant reunion.

Way to work. This is the soil that is said to prick a broom into it, and within a week it is sprinkled with fruit. All you have to do is drop a seed in your car and …                                  About 10 int. cars passed today. About 7CH,1MC,1FL. And Morocco went to the area. 1.MA from MC time.                                                                                                                                      I tried again how many per minute. Today we managed to count 46 trucks in 1 minute !!! Grand Theater: right lane – trucks int. , medium trucks Italian, left-hand traffic. But once, truck races spilled over into the fast lane.
1.CY still without proof, 2. perhaps for recognition.                                                                          40 Countries today.

Desenzano is a golden cage. So it led me to the opposite. Genoa.                                           

I even fantasized that I would peek into Monaco for a day. But the Principauté site discouraged me. Even those who just crossed the F by train without a stop have their entry prohibited. I didn’t even read anymore. Because I know that the MC is probably the only 1 country in the world, if something is decided, the army of 3,000 police officers will also be able to do it.

he then kissed her where Italy is today. 15 km by bike with natural beauty and man-made. And at the end Sirmione, after which the peninsula is named.                                                                                                                                        Travel around countless hotels *** to ***** with beautiful parking lots. Half closed, half with 1D or A or CH. And at the very end in front of the castle a huge parking lot under pine trees and plane trees. From west to east bank. So for 500 cars. Cathedral for Platesspotter.
Now about 50, practically all I. 12 countries were on Sirmione.                                                    Lago di Garda is 80 m above sea level. Monte Baldo 1800.

After dinner in the dark I went to “la strada”. If KGZ or at least CY will not spend the night in the parking lot. But I felt like we were in CZ. PL, RO and other eastern squadra.

Next Teatre grande A4

I saw 100% CY and M with my own eyes. And also AND and RSM personal. 50% IR, MA personal, then some UZ maybe KGZ. And M(II.) again just an inscription on the sail.
Compared to Saturday, the increase in trucks is 3x, 4x. I counted several times how many would pass in 1 minute. The results were between 27-32. That’s about 1,800 an hour. In addition, 1,200 personal. It’ll soon be fun to be alert. So I just drive across the bridge and I believe that one day someone will end up in the parking lot.                                                                                                     

Personal operation about total  only 10 pcs. ! 1 D, A, CH, RSM, F, AND, E, L, B, NL … Trucks very evenly PL, LT, CZ, SK, RO, BG, SLO, HR, SRB, BIH, TR. Lots also (more than in PRG) RUS, LV, GR, GB, IRL. Today also I premieres for FIN truck (not DSV trailer).                              39 Countries!

I was here years ago. I couldn’t get here.
The most famous balcony in the world. I’m sitting a few hundred meters away for coffee and I’m in a bit of a euphoric mood. I wonder how William Shakespeare got here then. A carriage with horses? And he kept going with his own? And how long did the journey take? But he probably sailed to Venice.
Did you have it at school too? … gently night give me my Romeo …                                           

The clouds did not bode well. Best time for a train trip. To Verona.                                       

The Anfiteatro di Verona was here in the first century. With all programs. In CZ for 600 years even then only dense forests and bears in them.                                                                   

20 states. More just D and A. The Austrians were returning from Namibia and the CD looked promising from a distance. And in the pharmacy they had beautiful blue respirators and the inscription Italian product, 98% effectiveness. So I was very happy with the souvenir from Verona. When I read on the train: UFI FILTERS (SHANGHAI) CO. LTD …

/Claire Danes as Giulietta Capuletti in Hollywood movie with L. di Caprio/

says Jeremy Clarkson, so you have to become a super sports designer. So he said it about Feruccio Lamborghini, but the same is true here.
In all the Italian organized chaos, I missed the beautiful Oregon. So now we have it complete.                                                                                                                                                   

Father and son Giugiaro founded their own car company GFG (GioFabGiu). And the junior prototype was tested here.                                                                                                   

Legendary supersports were created under the name Giugiaro. But also an endless number of normal cars. VW Golf rises above it all. It was a revolution. VW was then making the cumbersome, ugly successors of the Beetle like the 411 and was on the verge of bankruptcy. And then GG came with Golf!                                                                                                                 

The Ferrari Monza won by the spotters. Cost almost $ 2 million.                                                   

Appearance of normalcy. Lockdown hanging in the air. In CZ, people buy alcohol at home. But for Italy, this is much more than eating and drinking.

Sensational coarse-grained asphalt is said to be the best motorway in the world. 37 countries. All TIR, private 7? Basis the same as anywhere in Europe. PL, LV, LT, EST, H, CZ, SK, RO, BG, TR, SLO, HR, SRB, MK, BIH and NL trailers. Just here CY. Min. 3 demonstrably. Another about 3 trailer GR or CY (P-…). Malta I saw only an inscription on the sail. 2 TIR German name and Arabic inscriptions (about MA). Parking  direction Milan was overcrowded and the trucks were just passing by. I drove twice unnecessarily.               

The biggest traveler CH. They were returning from Greece. Apart from many CHs, no personal traffic at all.  GB only 2. And the cars that were definitely not English. D maybe 1 and L even 0. The only state missing today!
And when I entered the Ristorante / Shop I had a gun on my forehead right at the entrance. Covid test …

Rekord Woche seit MC. 46 Länder (+2). Alles, nur N u. FIN fehlen. Autobahn hat jede Menge Punkten gebracht. BY, MD, HR, MNE, AL, DK, CY. 1000Miglia AND, USA, UAE, J. Das kann sich nicht bald wiederholen.

The next: 1000 Miglia returned from the eternal city of Rome.
20% of participants were missing. The cars were dirty and slammed.

The expected rain has come. The bike remained under the roof. So maybe time for a trip. At 13.09 I will start in Milan. I absolutely love Venice ultimately. I was there 7 times until I went through the last alley. I was completely dazzled by S. Gimignano. So perfect the Middle Ages and those towers to do! Verona excited me.
But Milano was never one of my favorites. But in his head is a photo of Ghana from a carspotter.
I walked about 500m and instead of a mobile phone I have an umbrella in my right hand. Well, somehow I managed it. Malta M, the first new M 2020. The personal M is rarer than China and Japan, etc. But I don’t know if we will ever see China again. The peak was sometime 3 years ago. Perhaps 60. One day about 30 VWs arrived. I didn’t even take a picture of everything. 2019 there weren’t that many and 2020 zero.                                     

In 3 hours, 19 states fell. Most CH, then D, E. I expected some P, but nothing. Otherwise about 3MC, 1UA- RUS so far in I nothing. And especially the 2 Italian enclaves. I think it was actually a great success at this time.
And I’m back at Milano Centrale, what looks like a monument to Vittorio Emanuelle in Rome.                                                                                                                                                   

And our Josef Černý surprisingly won the Giro stage.

Tomorrow a report from the backbone autostrada A4 of the Venice-Milan.

                                                  Saturday Night in Desenzano del Garda.
I am absolutely fascinated by these pizzacafé. Ordinary businesses. But full of taste and positive spirit. What a difference to Prague pubs whose only purpose is to pour beer and booze unconscious into people.
Here in “Love it” I get a great pizza for 3.50! and unique Cafe Americano for 1.30! I’m going out for that. I see the traffic and I can have a cigarette with the delicacy. In Prague, imitations that can’t even be called coffee for 2.50!
But on the waterfront of the lake crowds of youth. Marijuana haze. The parents wear a mask all day and in the evening their offspring return home …
Although I am very sorry, Italy is on the Czech way.
