Travels and Adventures of an Ent on a Motorcycle
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
So I ended up staying longer than the 1 night I initially planned at the Hostel in Durres, I stayed for 3. It's the first time on the trip I've stayed still too, not counting Benidorm which was very much planned. I knew about an hour after I arrived I wanted to stay at least … Continue reading Day 25, 26 & 27 – Recharge & Saranda
I started Day 22 pretty well, riding down the Coast away from Split toward Dubrovnik. Then about 2 hours into the ride my music suddenly stopped with a crackle and my "shutdown" sound played from my phone. Odd, I had loads of battery. I pulled over to check it and my phone was soaked from … Continue reading Day 22, 23 & 24 – Dubrovnik & Montenegro
I don't know when it was actually official, but I'm pretty sure this is now my longest ever holiday! I can't think of a 3 week holiday I've been on so I'm pretty sure this is my longest time away from the UK. It really doesn't feel like it though, all the riding days sort … Continue reading Ride Report Day 20 & 21
I woke up on day 18 in Cortina d’Ampezzo in my little camping spot. I'd spoke to a group of bikers in town the night before who said "All the hotels are closed, there is one open, only 95 Euro for a double room, you can follow us if you like". A nice offer to … Continue reading Ride Report Day 18 & 19
On the road again, for a slightly longer time this time! After a lovely few days doing nothing but eating good food and drinking beer in Benidorm it was time to get off on the trip proper. The first few days were very weird. My head was all over the place on the first day. … Continue reading Ride Report: Day 12 to 17
Since I started planning, I've been buying things, like, a lot of things. All the things in that picture I did not own before I started planning the trip, except both cameras. It seemed ridiculous to me to be buying so much, but when this is everything I have to live on for the next … Continue reading Intro: The Gear
