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...
Since every moment in Slovenia and Croatia last night was riding through the dark and the rain, I had no idea where I was… and I woke up to this! Hilarious! Yesterday I was in a small snowy mountain town in the Alps, and today I am on the “Sea.. not See”.. just to be clear to Austrian readers that it’s not a lake out there.. 😉...
Today is the day to cross those Austrian Alps! The Host with the Most, Klaus has prepared breakfast, the weather report and exact times of schedule to get through before the weather changes later today… I usually do these things myself, so it was wonderful to have somebody else figuring it out for me… I’m packed and ready to go! My alps...
Happy New Year from WINTER in Tuscany Italy!! The good news after about 8 weeks, I finally have my computer back from repairs in Austria… that was a long and difficult wait.. But now I hope to get to work and get this blog updated! I can tell you I have seen so much, met so many amazing people and had so much fun since my last entry.. so I...
Onward and upward from Estonia to Finland! From here I must take a ferry. I started to think that this motorcycle trip around the world includes so many ferry rides.. seems like I am cheating! But then I remembered that the earth’s surface is 75% water.. and I’m on a motorcycle, what do you expect Sherri Jo??? Just be glad I don’t have to put on...
Red sky in morning, bikers take warning… Little bits of snow starting falling from the sky in St. Petersburg, Russia. It is such a massive city, so best option was to get on the highway around it and start heading west from the other side. Not long after, it turned into big rain and lasted the rest of the day. I knew this was coming, I saw the forecast, but as...
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...
WELCOME TO MONGOLIA! This is actually one of the first photos I took in the country. It’s only 80 km from the border to my destination of Olgiy. Such an amazing change of landscape, I can see the magical mystical draw it has on people. The beginning of the journey was a typical extremely rigidy road as they are when they have a fair amount of...
I just happened to be in Indiana in time for the 4th annual Exotic Feline Rescue Center Rescue Ride. After their Facebook reminder (which I had seen before but didn’t respond to while traveling through Russia) came up again, and I quickly asked if I can be involved! What an opportunity to combine two of my favorite things! Directors Joe Taft and Jean Herrbert...
The remaining 4 days were lovely and gorgeous.. I really enjoyed this wonderful break on the barge.. It was a nice easy going journey compared to the rugged, rigid shaking about on the bike. For the most part uneventful, so I will just fill the rest of this blog up with photos.. Hope you enjoy.. I had mentioned on facebook and not able to express in a...
