Date of departure is 15th April. Route, approximately 3,000 miles - Malvern to Harwich, then Holland, Northern Germany, Poland and Slovakia where I intend to pick up the Danube through Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania, and then into Turkey. If all goes well - ferry across to Lesbos mid-July. I would be very grateful for any comments en route, they spur me on. I wasn't aware that so many people read my previous blogs - until I got home!

Eselanita to Drobetu Turnu Severin and then on to Vidin (Bulgaria)
Left Pension Ponton after leisurely breakfast overlooking one of the most glorious views - only 25 miles to Drobetu, so no hurry! There's no doubt you find yourself in some strange places on a trip like this, and Drobetu was one of them. An industrial town, loads of hotels and if rest are like the one I stayed in pretty empty. The hotel boasts a 180 seat restaurant, and I was the only one in it - very strange. Nearly 70 miles on to Vidin, which is across the river in Bulgaria. Staying in hotel Neptune which is right opposite where the Cruise boats moor up for the night. Spending 2 nights here, need to get bikes gears fixed and most importantly - wash me pants and socks!

So delighted to hear about the pant washing. Are they the grey, saggy ones? The thought makes a middle aged woman's heart beat a little faster!
ReplyDeleteThey are not the grey saggy ones, they are blue, blue striped and black. You will be pleased to know that they are 'saggy' and they aquire a rather endearing aroma after a day in the saddle.
