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!

Vidin, Kozloduy and Corabia
Left Vidin and mad 60 odd miles to Kozloduy, and although fairly near the Danube, 2 or 3 three quite testing hills, and temperature warming up. Left Kozloduy and crossed on ferry back into Romania. I had made about 7 or 8 miles from ferry when another cyclist draws alongside. Stopped and chatted with Attilio, for about 20 minutes. A 22 year old Belgian guy, who put my meagre trip into perspective. He is cycling through Europe, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Iran and eventually on to China and Viet Nam. He reckons the trip will take 2-3 years. I wish him luck and envy him.

Found your blog looking for routes between Berlin and the Polish border. Just wanted to say that your trip looks amazing and hope you're having as great a time as you seem to be having!
ReplyDeleteIt is an amazing trip. There are times when you wonder why you are doing it, but then you look back at all the great people you meet and the sights you see, and you know it is worthwhile.
DeleteI don't think it is possible to have the same experience with any other form of travel. Good luck Jedrek
