As soon as I entered Greece, the road began to look better and a large sign written in Greek alphabet welcomed me. I had to put into practice everything I had learned in my physics classes with Victor Villaronga in order to be able to read the names of the cities I was heading to. Welcome …

After crossing the border it seemed that the road was not much better than the Albanian roads. The descent was a blast and the last 25 kilometres along the lake to the city of Ohrid were very long. After more than 90 kilometres and 1300 metres of elevation gain, it was time to celebrate and …

The border was a bit different from the previous ones and there were no signs. The line of cars was huge but everyone told me to move forward and go straight to the beginning. A few kilometres before crossing, you could already feel the change of country. Suddenly there were lots of people selling everything …

Sorry for taking so long to make the first post, but I wanted to take it easy. And there’s no better place to do it than from Ari’s home. I will try to be more punctual with the next ones, although I don’t want to promise anything. The two days before leaving were crazy. Organizing …

Before leaving to the east I wanted to capture the route I did through the valencian counties as I did with the route through Italy in the summer. First of all to be able to remember it myself in the future and see how was the first test I did with all the luggage, but …

Although it’s now exactly 5 months since this little trip, today I decided to write about it in the blog. The main idea was to cycle from Brennero (on the border between Italy and Austria in the Dolomites) to Napoli, but it had to end in Bologna due to technical issues that I will explain later. …
