Dear Macedonia, Our time together was short but full... of flat tyres... We enjoyed greatly all the beautiful views over mountains and lakes while we fixed them. Hope it wasn't because we weren't staying longer, it was nothing personal, it was just too cold and we were in transit South... Hope to come back one … Continue reading Dear Macedonia

Rock ‘n Roll Albania
Our welcoming point in Albania was to be a warmshower in the city of Shkodër. One of the few in Albania one should say. Chuck and Susan have been hosting cyclists travelling this side of the world for a couple of years now and their place has became a cyclist hub and meeting (and resting) … Continue reading Rock ‘n Roll Albania
Into Montenegro
Our time in BiH had been even more interesting than we could expect, and although we would have enjoyed to have spent quite some more time absorbing the culture and history, gradually and slowly we went towards the border with Montenegro and eventually it was time to cross it... As much as we enjoy a … Continue reading Into Montenegro
Review: Brooks Cadmium
We have been trying to finally write reviews of some of the gear we chose to take with us. Having used most things daily since we left, by now we have had enough time to have formed some opinions, and we are able to say that we have some knowledge and experience with it... This … Continue reading Review: Brooks Cadmium
The amazing Dolomiti
After waving good bye to Markus and little Florin we started heading up the mountain that would entertain us most of our morning... After a series of zig zags we wiggled our way up and soon gained an altitude that would provide us with views over the Bolzano valley and the mountains around. As we … Continue reading The amazing Dolomiti
Füssen (or how to eat a lot of cake)

Well... quite a few since in fact they are my parents and it was my birthday the next day and we had arranged to … Continue reading Füssen (or how to eat a lot of cake)
Cosy at Cusy
Shortly before we left Lisbon, Kilian and Marta, climbing, camping, slackline, picnic and overall adventure buddies, left Lisbon to live in Germany. A cross-Europe connection was made and a pin point was placed on our route map. As soon as we told them about our plans, we all had set in our minds that we … Continue reading Cosy at Cusy
Sharing a table instead of a road
Our next aim was Annecy region where we had arranged to meet two good old friends that also previously lived in Lisbon and were now living in Germany. To get there, we planned to pass by Grenoble using some of the existing cycling routes along the Rhone and the Isére rivers. The upcoming days would … Continue reading Sharing a table instead of a road
The heat wave
Several weeks out of date... But trying to catch up on our slack blogging attempts... It began with a message from my dad saying that he’d read reports that Spain and Portugal were expecting a heat wave, with hot air from the Sahara making temperatures as high as 44 degrees. Initially I laughed this warning … Continue reading The heat wave
Acácio and Amélia
Acácio and Amélia are a super friendly old couple in their 60s who were super kind to welcome us in their house in Riaño. There we had our own room and beds, they let us use the washing machine in the house to wash ALL our dirty clothes and they even took us on several … Continue reading Acácio and Amélia
