Off!
6 de julio de 2022, España ⋅ ☀️ 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 damLeer más
Cuenca

Beautiful almost alp-like mountains and lakes....and rumours of a cave that nobody goes to nearby.
Tragacete
7 de julio de 2022, España ⋅ ☀️ 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 prosaicLeer más
El Castillo de Molina de Aragon
7 de julio de 2022, España ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
This was El Cid's castle, one tower has collapsed but the rest of the site is intact.
Zaragoza
7 de julio de 2022, España ⋅ 🌬 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
8 de julio de 2022, Francia ⋅ 🌬 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 apparentlyLeer más
Chambery

A service station with a view!
Torinese

Very pretty view.....but dinner not up to much!
Gorizia

Life is about to become Very Complicated
Domzale
10 de julio de 2022, Eslovenia ⋅ ⛅ 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??....4Leer más
Vrsic Pass
11 de julio de 2022, Eslovenia ⋅ ⛅ 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 soLeer más
Bregi
11–12 jul. 2022, Croacia ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
B&B very hard to find and I can't read the street names! Great views though from the restaurant.
Senj

Croatia's Route 66
Knin
12–13 jul. 2022, Croacia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Up into the hills.....signs of the past war.
Burnum
13 de julio de 2022, Croacia ⋅ ☀️ 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
13 de julio de 2022, Croacia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Everyone told me to go here....I guess because it is small enough to be accessible and very, very pretty.
Mokosica
13–14 jul. 2022, Croacia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Staying just outside Dubrovnik so that I can get up early tomorrow and walk the walls.
Kings' Landing
14 de julio de 2022, Croacia ⋅ ☀️ 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'tLeer más
Lost
14 de julio de 2022, 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
15 de julio de 2022, 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
15–16 jul. 2022, 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 gravesLeer más
Komani lake
16 de julio de 2022, 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
16 de julio de 2022, Albania ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
Tough riding.....so where now???? Everyone else just went back on the ferry.
Kryezi
16–17 jul. 2022, 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!
Berat
17–19 jul. 2022, Albania ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C
So my goal of Koman was in the past......Now What? I had been told about the fascinating city of Berat so off I go.....
