100th Anniversary Celebration. Genoa - Event Date: 14 May 2021 - 16 May 2021

We registered for this event in July 2020 and have now firmed up our travel plans by booking accommodation in France and Italy. Hopefully, the event will still go ahead but because of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic we have booked our accommodation on a ‘free cancellation’ basis through booking.com.

To register for this event please visit: https://www.giorgioparodi.it/index.php/it/partecipare 

Price is 22.50 Euro per person.

For the events in Genoa, we have booked 4 nights (Thursday 13th to Sunday 16th May) at the Mercure Genova San Biagio, Via Romairone, 14, Genoa. Hotel website: https://all.accor.com/hotel/9617/index.it.shtml#origin=mercure   

All the locations where the events are being held are 10 miles away from the Mercure Genova San Biagio: Porto Antico, Piazza de Ferrari, Via Roma, Corso Andrea Podesta, Tursi Palace, Palazzo Ducale, Fiera del Mare, Piazzale Kennedy and the Carlo Felice Theatre.

We could not find suitable accommodation in Genoa city that met our criteria of safe onsite garage parking for our motorcycles and decent guest facilities. The Mercure Genova San Biagio ticks all the boxes and is in a nice location.

 

By 'Road Tunnels', you of course mean 'Bike Exhaust Appreciation Auditoriums'.  

I've booked a small Flat at the Ancient Port for the extended Weekend.

But then you wouldn't be able to hear the Exhaust over the clattering of the Engine!!

Despite all the uncertainty around international travel due to Covid-19, last Saturday we decided to register with the Moto Guzzi Club Genova. If we can't travel to Europe and/or the event is cancelled, at least some of the money goes to good causes.

I booked my Ferry crossing (Poole~Cherbourg) in mid-Oct.
Not sure if I'd get a refund if I cancelled, but hopefully there's an option to re-book for another date/crossing, or maybe get a voucher.

I'm sure it will all depend on how advanced the Vaccination program is by then.
Much as I love getting Snow here, it's not helping in that regard . . . .

Fingers crossed Brian, but I booked through Ferrysavers, not directly with Brittany Ferries.

I've emailed them . . .
