Yellowstone National Park.. has been on my list for years!! But first a little lead in to it.. Traveling west from South Dakota, I stopped for the night outside the park in Cody Wyoming. Named after the all too famous William “Buffalo Bill” Cody. A bit like Elvis, could swear I actually saw the guy alive and well walking down the street...
Apologies for the delayed blog post!! I’m horribly behind again.. I’ve really really been on the move.. Meeting so many people, wonderful hosts, riding the bike a lot, leaving little time for blogging. Always a tough decision, should I go see that or meet them, or update my blog.. Have to say that I tend to choose enjoying my experiences over...
I’m on a ferry again!! Who’d a thought a journey on a motorcycle would include that many ferries! Now this one will need a bit of explanation.. I am on my way to an island in north Turkey called Gokceada.. I have heard so much about this island from many years ago as it’s the place my Greek friend Captain Georgios Apistolas comes from...
Finally, I’ve made it to the top of Turkey! And saved the really big city for last. Istanbul! (Formerly known as Constantinople) I get a bit disappointed as there is so much of Turkey I have missed.. I need at least a month in each country!! ;-( I was and I was not looking forward to Istanbul.. the mere size of the place scared the bejeebers out of me and...
Olympos concluded my south coast of Turkey tour.. I continued east to the city of Antalya, and then made my way inland to Pamukkale.. Another great spot recommended by my great Turkish advisor, Robert from www.bike-turkey.com. If you’ve never heard of Pamukkale like me, it is actually one of the most unique places to visit in this country. But why...
I was told of a sunken city in the nearby area of Kekova, and wanted to check it out. It was a small city that used to be part of the mainland until a huge earthquake tore it apart which resulted in becoming an island instead. However! When I found this beautiful place tucked well into the bush and seaside, I found where all the tour buses are hiding out...
For the first time in a very long time, we make a mistake choosing a cheap place to stay for the night. With promises of special discount to a place under renovation, we go.. However, it was more than under renovation. This place has been and will be forever under construction. A total scam. I didn’t want to stay, but our bikes were inside the gate before we...
The ferry from Santorini to Kos, Greece is a midnight ferry. The port is right down the serpentine cliff road.. and here I wait.. all on my lonesome. Well, except for a really cute stray dog that wouldn’t leave my side. If I sat in a chair, he sat IN the chair next to me.. If he heard a noise, he perked up and growled.. how cute to have my own...
