So.. it’s Alex and I on tour today.. through Athens and to Acropolis! First to tend to some errands though. One thing not to forget on such a big journey.. you are not exempt from running important errands, no matter where you are in the world! ;-=) Somewhere amongst the spring blossoms are lots and lots of white Greek buildings! First order for the...
Delphi was hard to leave, I knew I could stay there another day.. easy! But I’ve got a plan, and sometimes it’s best to stick with it.. how to absorb so much history in such a short time!? Here are some little snipets of my ride from Delphi to Athens… sorta liked the look in the rear view mirror! I see these everywhere.. in all shapes...
After Meteora, I made a b-line to Delphi or Delphos.. Here is the best explanation from my friend Orestis ( ) in Athens about the name: in Greek we have more than one version for each name depending on the use of it. When you are asked “what’s the name of this place?” the answer is “Delphi” (Δελφοί). If you are asked...
I’m soooo fast.. ha! ;;-) Another day in Montenegro, and we’re off and running again! They all told me I have to ride this road before I leave.. it is a really really really fun road. It’s the mountain road from Cetinje to Kotor. Thank you to Blazo and Marija for all the photos… ! As for my part in photography, I don’t think...
Oh gee whiz, I’ve done a lot since the last blog post. Checking in from Athens Greece.. I’ve finished Bosnia i Herzegovina, back into Croatia, another 16 km into Bosnia, back into Croatia again, and then to Montenegro.. (in this blog).. but since I have also ridden through Albania, Macedonia and now in of coarse in Greece.. where to begin...
6:30 AM arrive to a familiar ferry port in Split Croatia.. back to familiar faces.. First to Anton and Marija’s whom I stayed with in rainy November, for an early morning visit. And young Paulina who reads my passport to me in … Croatian! (Little translator in the making..) Then on to familiar faces #2, which is Rakela and his gang at BMW Club Split...
There’s snow in ‘them hills! Ahh, after the beautiful sunset leaving Croatia the night before, I arrived on the early morning ferry to Ancona Italy in.. you guessed it, the rain. I didn’t pull the camera out of the bag, no point and kept it dry. So, this will be a non-motorcycley blog post, but I absolutely loved this town and...
Nearing the end of my Croatian tour, can you believe I have another super tall guy to introduce. And I just realized, they got taller the farther south I went in the country. I didn’t know this, but anonymous wrote on my last post that 5 NBA players in the USA come from Split Croatia! Sorry, I like basketball, but I don’t...
I truly had to stop and stare at it for a bit.. it’s the dag gone Alps!! I’m like, holy crap!! I didn’t expect to see them there.. and then the thought of riding a motorcycle over !!??? Yes.. I expected to see them in Austria.. but you can see how I was shocked. The lovely soft rolling hills of green. I assumed my clue that I was getting close to...
Three full days on a train, I was excited about this! It was fun for a while, but it got to be too long as you might imagine. I was really missing my bike, and I wished I hadn’t done this, but I tried to make the most of it. What surprised me is that the landscape looked the same the entire way!! Those 2 ladies at the window came well equipped with heaps of...
