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...
No, Blazo… you can’t come with me!! Just kidding, he’s not begging to come along.. more like begging me to go! 😉 Well not that either, not really sure why he’s taken this position on the beach.. but we have fun teasing him about it.. Spent my last night in Montenegro. Blazo has done so well to show me the majority of his country, and I finally have...
A pretty sorry looking one at that… really stands out though here in Tuscany. One last post to wrap up my time in Italy.. How much will I miss the comforts of a home!?? A washing machine, a kitchen, a warm bed that I don’t have to search for at night, so many things I love about home.. So here is a little bit of the last days of my life...
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...
Today is a very busy full day with Rakela in Split Croatia! First, a little background information about where I am! A very popular destination for visitors, Split has been around for about 1700 years and is the main administrative city to all of Dalmatia. It is also the main hub for visitors as they have a slew of ferries to choose from for exploring...
It’s not sunny, but it’s not raining either….Hallelujah! Let’s Ride!!!!!! It’s Croatia in the Mountains today… whew hew!! Meet Rakela, Ivan and you already met Anton, my host! The day before this it was raining hard so I went into Split, just 20 km down the road to wander around the historic old city. When I was...
Back on the bike today!! The Croatian motorcycle community is so supportive and keeps growing! Which greatly humbles me. Now we can trace Nikola, who took care of me in Krk and put me on to Croatian Vanja who lives in France. Vanja who put me onto Hari, and his Mother and Brother in Zadar.. and has NOW hooked me up with riders at my next...
In between rain bursts, I head out for a walk around my little pocket of Zadar. I see these old churches.. ev..er..y.. where!!! Most often I see them from the road as the only building perched on top of a hill.. Built long before cars, I think to myself… they must want their congregation to hike up the steep rocky hill, to work hard, sweat and suffer...
Next stop, Krk Island Croatia! After my overnight in Italy, I take the fast road back to where I was close to Rijeka, and aim for Krk Island. Two reasons… 1) it was recommended as an amazing place and 2) I put out my Horizons Unlimited request for advice in Croatia and one of the responses came from a person there. Can I just tell you that picture...
