I have a combination of itchy feet and sense that this will be the last opportunity to do something like this for a while. The saying that you regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did is tipping the balance in favour of one (more) last hurrah before I grow up and become a responsible adult…..and spend the summer on the sofa watching sport;-)
Just waiting for the very last piece of the puzzle to arrive before I can saddle up….the Insurance Green Card. The bike is ready. The packing is done, The Plan is to head southeast towards the Balkans and Turkey and see how far I get before the end of June. I have documentation and papers for Georgia and Armenia but I think it will be a bit of a stretch to get that far in the in the time available. Alison will hopefully fly out during half term and join me for a week but at this stage nothing is booked.
My knowledge of the Balkans is very limited, a yacht delivery to Croatia, a week sailing holiday in Turkey and a ski trip to Romania and whatever we saw on TV about the wars in the 1990s. Not much to go on. Some of the region uses the Cyrillic alphabet…that should be fun trying to read roadsigns. Try this one for laughs….СОФИЯ ? No…I wouldn't have guessed it either….it is SOPHIA, capital of Bulgaria.
Come on postman…..
OK! All booked now, I will rescue you from feeling obliged to camp as of morning of 3rd June ;-)
