Montenegro Part 3

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...

I found a Koala in Tuscany Italy!

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...

Croatia Krk Island

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...

St. Petersburg Russia

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...

I am traveling on 3, want to keep traveling on 3 to my destination.. but they pull up this sign that I can go either on 3 or 3!!  Which f’ing 3!!!  You think just look at the names written in English and head for the right one?? NO…. not a single one of those town names is on my map… I chose...
