Let's get the show on the road

Is September still too hot to ride around Turkey and Cyprus? We’re about to find out.
We postponed this year’s adventure so we won’t melt down in the south. And then we postoned a few daysLeggi altro
Literally 5 minutes later

Just a few kilometers on the road and the rain started. It's the way all our trips started. Getting wet in the first day.
Butt relaxing session

It's been 2 months since last trip we had with the motorcycle. Meanwhile our butts have to readapt with sitting multiple hours a day on the "comfy seat" of the old Transalp.
So take it easy.
Boys toys - iuțeală maximă 40km/h

Spontaneous leg stretch break at the entrance of Petroșani. I have a feeling this locomotive is what prompted it, but let’s call it spontaneous!
Defileul Jiului

Kindness from strangers

Just 5 kilometers before the camping a massive rain started. We pulled over to put the rain coats on. We were taking shelter below the trees near their door, and a few moments later this kind old manLeggi altro
Căsuțele dintre vii - campground

Lazy first morning. We took our time getting ready to leave. The very nice camping amenities also helped in making it more difficult to leave.
We also forgot our food in their fridge. Still a bitLeggi altro
Cheile Sohodolului

Short and sweet. Lovely walk and ride through these gorges.
It was too late to hike all the way up to Inelul Doamnei, but would definitely come back to do it.
Craiova pit stop

I got lost looking for a bathroom. Getting to it was more of an art labyrinth than anything else.
Meanwhile, someone else had plenty of time to dry off and ventilate their feet.
Camping Starite Borove

This camping is an oasis in the middle of nowhere, next to nothing.
Surrounded by forest, it’s a beautiful place to pitch your tent or park your motorhome and relax. Clean bathroom, practicalLeggi altro
Gorilla Rock

Hiked up to a viewpoint to see the rock formations and the fortress below…and to cool off 😅
Gearing up

This rain went from 0 to 150% in under 1 min. Beat us to it in gearing up.
All my fingers and toes were completely pickled and wrinkly by the team we got to the camping.
Riding at the edge of Vratsa Balkan

Rocky landscape, it was nice to ride the curvy road.
Sofia Campersbg Campground

Dried off and warmed up with a nice dinner.
The camping itself is close to the main road and quite noisy, but it will do. A warm shower and a place to pitch our tent was all we needed.

Leg stretch and admiring the lake
Baykushev’s pine - 1300 years old tree

I love trees. It was a delight to walk the stairs up to this 1300 year old pine tree and take in its beauty.
“Its age is estimated at more than 1300 years, which makes it the oldest pine tree inLeggi altro
Okoto Lake - Pirin National Park

2h away from the camping is this hidden gem of a lake.
The path is easily trackable and worth the effort.
Banderitsa Camping at 1800m

The clouds cleared up and ski put on a show of stars, even the Milky Way was easy to see.
The camping was free and basic. Squaring toilet and no running water.
In the morning a sheep herd passedLeggi altro
Ferry to Thassos

We arrived right on time to catch a ride over to Thasos.
Humans trying to feed the sea gulls with bread really pissed me off. They held the bread up high, then got scared and let it blow in the windLeggi altro
Setting a base under the tarp

Last year, during the Iceland trip, there were so many times when we wanted extra shelter besides the tent. When it is too sunny or a light rain it can make a huge difference, especially when youLeggi altro
Quick swim and walk on the beach

Iris Gold jewellery factory visit

Excited to see inside one if Greece’s top jewellery, we visited Iris Gold’s showroom and factory. You have to ask in order to be taken down to the factory, but the staff is very helpful.

Theologos Waterfall

Tucked in this charming village, this waterfall was the perfect place to escape the heat. Even without bathing, it’s a beautiful place to see.
The waterfall has 3 layers, and the upper one is closeLeggi altro
Giola lagoon - a bit of dissapointment

First of all, we parked way too far by picking the first parking lot. So, we had to hike both up and down in the heat. Don’t be fooled by the trees, that was just 10% oh the road, the rest wasLeggi altro
