Round the Balkans, Turkey and to Armenia

[reddude]

Hi chaps

I am on the road at the moment and have been keeping a blog for my friends and family but thought some of you might be interested. I did a bit of whistlestop tour of the Blakans and then went on to Turkey and then to Georgia and Armenia. I spent most of my time in Turkey where is is now damn hot. I set off on the 15th May but have a few weeks left.

Just in case anyone is planning a trip, you can see my thoughts at http://ridethebalkans.blogspot.com/
I am working on the maps/routes and will attach them before too long.


I dont think it is worth the bother to re-post it here so feel free to rummage and recommend something for me to see on the way back. I am planning to route via Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary so if you have and suggestions, let me know.

Thanks

Paul

Enjoyed that Paul. I love Turkey. Been there 4 times. Great country even if fuel is expensive. Next time I'll include Georgia and Armenia.

Fuel is a bitch, and the country is vast. It takes a long time to get anywhere. The people are amazingly friendly and (big) bikes are still a real novelty so you are always someone that peole want to talk to. Pity I find turkisk a bit of a bugger to learn.

I think the eastern side is by far the most interesting and maybe next time I might get a visa for Iran. Everyone tells me the people are the friendliest on the planet (never mid all the political nonsense)
