Stranded on a Mountain Pass
I left Serbia and crossed Bosnia Hervegovina once again to reach the Adriatic Sea and Dubrovnik.
New Friends
Apparently every Serb considers the Tara National Park and the neighbouring touristic attractions of Drvengrad and the Šargan Eight heritage railway to be a must-see. So I spent two days…
Serbian Hospitality and the Ghosts of War
The leg to Novi Sad was rather boring and mostly flat. So not much to tell except the crash in the town of Gradiste.
Electronic Terrorists
First week into the trip and the electronics already start to fail me. The magnet holding the charging cable of my phone in place gets loose, and the battery is draining rapidly because I used the phone for navigation while riding.
Heading Southeast
As already said, on the 26 of may I jumped in at the deep end and left home, heading southeast. After 2 and a half days I arrived in on a campsite near Bovec in Slovenia to visit my mother who has spent her 2 weeks holidays here.
Introduction
On 26th of may I departed on a voyage. With a newly minted masters degree in Geophysics I didn’t feel like having a job straight away, working 40 hours a week and spending 21 days a year on some beach on a mediterranean island. Instead I sought for the cure of something that is best described with the german word Fernweh. So I strapped some luggage on the back of my motorcycle and left Germany with nothing but some money and an Iranian visa in my pocket. I didn’t plan, didn’t know which roads I’m going to take, in which places I would pitch my tent and most importantly I didn’t have a schedule.
