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...
Last year in Croatia, Anton and Marija told me about Meteora.. after seeing their photos I knew I must go. So from Ohrid Macedonia this will be my next stop, but first…. ANOTHER border crossing! To date, all of my border crossings have been a breeze.. the only one that kept me extra long on a cold rainy day was Estonia of all places! ...
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...
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...
I’ve had two nights here and that’s long enough to enjoy the generosity of anyone’s time and home.. but Blazo was just adamant that he has more of Montenegro to show me and I must stay longer.. I am so grateful and I feel guilty for him to take time off of work.. Convincing me that there is no trouble with work, I reluctantly agreed – ha...
The next day, a very enthusiastic Blazo has the entire day completely planned! First stop he organized us to meet both a television and newspaper journalist. These things make me nervous and I get embarrassed, but we got through it.. it was special for a couple reasons. First, Montenegro really followed these boys on their so I am sure it was good for an...
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...
I have been lucky enough to visit Italy a couple times before in my life.. Rome, Naples, Genoa, Pisa and Florence. They are all amazing and worth seeing again and again! But nobody has ever said to me, “Sherri, if you go to Italy, you must visit Assisi.” This is something I feel I need to say to you or anybody who wanted to know.. First...
Welcome back to wild and wooly Dubrovnik and my last Croatia post! As mentioned before, I stay here for a few days because of the crazy weather.. so in my wanderings I took plenty photos.. How cool is it to park the bike here? Even after a few days, it still feels surreal to live inside those walls, I’m just loving it! Views from my window...
