Travels and Adventures of an Ent on a Motorcycle
Having a day off in Erzurum turned out to be a good idea, it rained on and off for most of the day including some thunder, not exactly nice weather for riding. I had a little wander around the town between the showers and found a little food. It's an odd town, feels like it's … Continue reading Day 46, 47 & 48 – Ezurum to Van and Kars
Lovely start to Day 43 with a guy drilling right outside my window at 7.30 after going bed at about 1am. He was balancing on some beams for an awning and drilling above his head, they're not much for scaffolding around here. I stumbled up 5 flights of stairs for breakfast in the cafe which … Continue reading Day 43, 44 & 45 – Sinop to Trabzon and Erzurum
A groggy start to Day 39 after having a few drinks and staying up late playing StarCraft with some friends. I used to play almost daily and now it's just whenever I get good internet, spare time and somewhere to sit with the laptop, so almost never. Being 2 hours ahead of them means I … Continue reading Day 39 to 42- Black Sea Coast Part 1
It was a soggy start to Day 36, it had rained early in the morning and was still going at 10am when I wanted to leave. The hotel owner was still asleep on the sofa in reception, obviously, but I got the bike geared up then waited a little for the rain to slow, I … Continue reading Day 36, 37 & 38 – Gallipoli, Erdek and Beach Hell
Well Day 35 turned out very different than expected. I started off wandering around Corlu looking for somewhere to get a SIM card so I could get mobile data for my 2 1/2 weeks in Turkey. Turns out there are phone shops everywhere, score. But nobody really speaks any English. Challenge accepted. After lot of … Continue reading Day 35 – Corlu to Gallipoli
Very chilled out Day 33 in Varna, had a wander around the town and found some lunch then headed back to the hostel before the rain came and got some blog writing done and catching up. The rains never came though, which was kind of frustrating, I'd had a day off to let them pass. … Continue reading Day 33 & 34 – Varna to Corlu
A groggy start to Day 30 after staying up till 4am but it was a day off anyway, no riding planned at all. I went for a wander over to a shop I had been planning to visit (XMKD.com), they had been holding a part for me for nearly 2 weeks. I broke a clip … Continue reading Day 30, 31 & 32 – Skopje to Varna
I left the hostel in Saranda a little groggy after a very late night, probably less rested than when I actually arrived, but it was good fun. There was a bit of a plan for the start of the day, but no plan for after entering Greece since my SIM card would work for mobile … Continue reading Day 28 & 29 – Greece & Macedonia
