There was too much talking this morning – such a great place. I thought about staying another night but the lure of camping on a Croatian island was too much. It’s only three days to Dubrovnik. (Note from future self – you’re dreamin’) I rode through the village of Oblikë, got some food but there …
Today’s ride on Komoot – part 1 Today’s ride on Komoot – part 2 Another late start, but this time it was because I was hanging out with some great people. I had dinner last night with Tom and Sophie and this morning, two english girls arrived at the camp. They’d been bushwhacking across the …
Today’s ride on Komoot I needed an early start today because I wanted to catch the 1pm ferry from Fierze to Koman along the lake. There’s only one ferry per day, so I needed to make it on time. I was away by 8am which was a shame because they included breakfast at the hotel …
(Guys, I promised to put your photo on my blog. I’m sorry it took so long !) Today’s ride on Komoot It took some time to leave Ferizaj, as I was stopped by locals wishing me well. One guy spoke great english and gave me his life story. He was so happy for a visitor …
Today’s ride on Komoot There’s something about Skopje that makes me a tiny bit uneasy. There’s lots here to stroll around and look at, from the grand buildings to the large statues of significant individuals. Maybe I’m just yet to get used to the Balkans. This morning, I left via the centre of town, and …
Today’s ride on Komoot An easy day with a painful back feels the same as a hard day. I’d love to know what caused this. To be fair, after nearly thirty thousand kilometres on three continents, I’ve had very little sickness or injury and I’m really thankful for that, but it doesn’t help me now …
Today’s ride on Komoot Last night, I ate at the restaurant attached to the hotel. It was mentioned in all of the reviews and it was Mexican. I’m a sucker for decent Mexican food. It’s up there with Indian. It wasn’t great though. It’s to be expected really. “When in Rome eat pizza”, is always …
My back wasn’t too bad this morning. I had breakfast at the hotel in the cavernous and almost deserted restaurant. I wondered what was happening as all of the staff were sitting at a table smoking cigarettes. I sat at a table as far as I could get away from them and had a coffee …
Today’s ride on Komoot Leaving Thessaloniki was pretty ugly. The first however many kms were flat, dusty and full of randomly driven cars without a lot of order or purpose. Turning off the fairly major road to the west didn’t improve things as quite a few trucks made the turn as well. In fact, most …
I hardly took photos today. Seriously, there was nothing to see. Today’s ride on Komoot I was the only occupant of the hostel last night, so it was a little strange, but I was up and out at a reasonable hour. Any thoughts I had about returning to Meteora disappeared with the morning’s cloud and …
