by Ana, Romania pics courtesy to Ana’s mum. Romanian version to come soon. It may not shelter us from the humming storm and it may break sometimes in the middle of a swamp, but when we’re keen to go off the beaten track, the bike is our tool of choice. It sure did the job when we wanted to spend…
Into The World – Trailer AFRICA…
Romania 02 – 31/08 A durat ceva sa ne dam seama de asta, dar acum e clar: traversarea Zairului a fost momentul in care ne-am ‘shiftat’. Depanand amintiri din Congo cu Alper in Curtea de Arges, ne-am dat seama ca experienta asta continua sa dospeasca. It took a while to see this, and now we do: the Zaïre crossing was…
Drum Bun! Initially we thought this was the name of a town, but we soon cottoned on to the fact that it actually means “Good Bye” or something similar in Romanian, although it took us a remarkably long time to realize that. We rumbled down from the rickety border bridge at Ruse and were briefly pulled over by Romanian customs. …
Turcia/ Turkey – Bulgaria – Romania 30/07 – 02/08 Ca de obicei cand ne-a placut un loc, am stat la taclale pana tarziu, desi a doua zi aveam de taiat Turcia de-a lungul, din Cappadocia pana la tarmul marii Egee.

That was one of the gorges located in the mountains and for us it was like diamond in the rough as it was seemed that only locals knew about this place. The road conditions of western part of Bulgaria suggested that this part of…
Jon here: Its 3.30am and I can’t sleep. All I can think about is the worlds most dangerous bridge, the Russia Siberia Vitim River crossing we will later face on the BAM road. It’s the 15th May and we are currently chilling in Godzilla Hostel, Moscow. Since our last blog we have travelled from Slovakia to Russia, passing through Austria,…
Romania So with a plan to head towards Romania and see the Bears cave and Draculas Castle we made our way out of Hungary. The road out was fairly uninteresting a mix of good and bad tarmac but the funny thing is well it showed me how oblivious Cat was As we went along the highway every now and again…
Ukraine Well to say the least its an interesting place. The roads are TERRIBLE and VERY dangerous not for any other reason than they are appalling and they lure you into a false sense of security by being great for over for 10 km then suddenly mid corner they run out and become wacky paving or just a hole group…
