Off!
July 6, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
This is my first 'long' motorcycle trip. I guess there always has to be a 'primary' objective and mine is that some months ago I saw a video of a flooded canyon in Albania.....Hoxha had built a damRead more
Cuenca
July 7, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Beautiful almost alp-like mountains and lakes....and rumours of a cave that nobody goes to nearby.
Tragacete
July 7, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
This is 'Cueva de Nacimiento' or the cave of birth....perhaps it is named for the Christmas celebrations that occur here when they set up a 'Belem' at the entrance but I think it is for more prosaicRead more
El Castillo de Molina de Aragon
July 7, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
This was El Cid's castle, one tower has collapsed but the rest of the site is intact.
Zaragoza
July 7, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌬 24 °C
Well that was a long day! Staying at a roadside inn but they still let me park my bike inside next to some dude's Porche.
Uchaud
July 8, 2022 in France ⋅ 🌬 29 °C
This turned out to be a B&B but billed as a hotel....very covid orientated with dinner outside with tables as far apart as possible and the food basically panzied up hamburger. France has apparentlyRead more
Chambery
July 9, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
A service station with a view!
Torinese
July 10, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Very pretty view.....but dinner not up to much!
Gorizia
July 10, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Life is about to become Very Complicated
Domzale
July 10, 2022 in Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
I had to hang about for somebody to turn up and check me in but all very nice. Sitting there I found out that there is a fearsome mountain pass just to the north......maybe I should ignore it??....4Read more
Vrsic Pass
July 11, 2022 in Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
I will remember this for a long time....The pass was made by Russian prisoners of war, some of their graves are at the top. Each hairpin has cobbles so that the horses' hooves could grip ....not soRead more
Bregi
Jul 11–12, 2022 in Croatia ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
B&B very hard to find and I can't read the street names! Great views though from the restaurant.
Senj
July 12, 2022 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Croatia's Route 66
Knin
Jul 12–13, 2022 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Up into the hills.....signs of the past war.
Burnum
July 13, 2022 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
I came across this completely by accident. Apparently it is quite a famous Roman Legion base....but I just saw this sitting in a field.
Grad Trogir
July 13, 2022 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Everyone told me to go here....I guess because it is small enough to be accessible and very, very pretty.
Mokosica
Jul 13–14, 2022 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Staying just outside Dubrovnik so that I can get up early tomorrow and walk the walls.
Kings' Landing
July 14, 2022 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Walking the walls on Dubrovnik......stupid expensive but you only live once. By getting up early I simultaneously managed to be on my own and so rushed that I got sunscreen into my eyes and couldn'tRead more
Lost
July 14, 2022 in Montenegro ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Getting quite confused by the geography now and bits of coast with small corridors to their owner countries with no coastline....luckily I found a ferry here to save me several hours.
Crossing
July 15, 2022 in Montenegro ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
The border looks hard to find on a map....many of the roads just stop before the border...but then I found a jam and suddenly lots of beggars.
Koman
Jul 15–16, 2022 in Albania ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C
So I got here! Spent a few hours getting ferry tickets for tomorrow and finding out where to go. All the roads seem to be under construction at the same time so gravel seems to be the norm with gravesRead more
Komani lake
July 16, 2022 in Albania ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
So I made it! Wonderful trip but the exit at the end an the onward journey from Fierze a bit more than hair-raising.
Fierze
July 16, 2022 in Albania ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
Tough riding.....so where now???? Everyone else just went back on the ferry.
Kryezi
Jul 16–17, 2022 in Albania ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Well I found somewhere to stay in the middle of nowhere....the owner says he just wants to be a builder and leave Albania for the UK with his (now get this) 'cousins' who number about 70!
