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 damOkumaya devam et

Beautiful almost alp-like mountains and lakes....and rumours of a cave that nobody goes to nearby.
Tragacete

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 prosaicOkumaya devam et
El Castillo de Molina de Aragon
7 Temmuz 2022, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
This was El Cid's castle, one tower has collapsed but the rest of the site is intact.

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 apparentlyOkumaya devam et

Domzale

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??....4Okumaya devam et

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 soOkumaya devam et

Up into the hills.....signs of the past war.
Burnum

Grad Trogir

Everyone told me to go here....I guess because it is small enough to be accessible and very, very pretty.

Staying just outside Dubrovnik so that I can get up early tomorrow and walk the walls.
Kings' Landing

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'tOkumaya devam et

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.

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 Tem 2022, Arnavutluk ⋅ ☀️ 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 gravesOkumaya devam et

So I made it! Wonderful trip but the exit at the end an the onward journey from Fierze a bit more than hair-raising.

Tough riding.....so where now???? Everyone else just went back on the ferry.

Berat

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.....
