Slovakia
So far the small part we have riden is very beautiful, but we will be back next year for more of the Tatra mountains. Great people and food. Kosice is worth a stop for sure and K moto if you need help! https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8710/2...c66288a5_b.jpgSlovakia-8 by Sara & Daniel Pedersen, on Flickr Ukraine We are glad we went for the experience, but can not recommend this a “riding” destination. The roads are often incredibly bad and very straight. The cultural differences here make Ukraine a worth while destination anyway. https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8347/2...3ca70ee0_b.jpgUkraine-5 by Sara & Daniel Pedersen, on Flickr https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8761/2...9a4b6166_b.jpgUkraine-8 by Sara & Daniel Pedersen, on Flickr https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7593/2...fd7e3dd2_b.jpgUkraine-2 by Sara & Daniel Pedersen, on Flickr https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8644/2...8fe8ddd7_b.jpgUkraine-3 by Sara & Daniel Pedersen, on Flickr |
Nice overall
Wow, with what you said about Italy I am wondering what you would think about Kyrgyzstan. The trash problem here is so bad that I normally clean up my camp site before setting up my tent. Much of the time there is broken glass everywhere and plenty of plastic trash too. It sounds like we could say the Kyrgyz drivers are like the Italians just on steroids. I have been chased off my side if the road and still hit, by a drunk. While driving in the States this last summer for 30 days and just under 2000 miles I never had one close call. Here it is every day and several times. Still I would say Kyrgyzstan has some very wonderful rides and some great people. As you know, all over the world there are both good and bad people. If all the roads were the same there would not be a reason to travel.
As always, thanks for your time to share your wonderful photos and your travels. Mac |
Fantastic ride report
Happy new Year and may 2017 bring many MilesofSmiles:thumbup1:
This report is my "goto" report to pass the lunch hour at my desk. Top notch report and fantastic pictures. It is inspiring me to repair the ol 990 Adventure and do some traveling. Looking forward to the upcoming ride reports. |

Tajikistan electronic Visas have arrived! Our passports are at the Russian Consul this week and we are hoping their Mr. Putin will grant us the multi-enty Russian visa we requested! Fingers crossed.

Coming together nicely
Looks like things are coming together for you two. I should be in Tajikistan first part of June. I hope I won't miss you in Kyrgyzstan.

Well it’s time to get back on the road again now that spring has sprung the sun is shining! We have been home working in Vancouver for the winter. This is work work and as well a ton of hours with planning, emails, and paper work for the next leg of the trip. There have literally been hundreds of emails. Daniel has been the point man for all 4 of us.
