Re: [ST] trip to Europe



Emile / Gavin

Thanks for your advise.

I think I will look at renting a cycle in Barcelona. (I have not been able 
to find a place in Venice) and I was leaning towards the Pyrenees areas 
before I asked for advise and you guys have confirmed that for me.

Any suggestions on routes to take. accommodations, sites to see... etc , 
would be appreciated
