Hungary - Paprika, Dike Roads and Bumpy Trails

Country #6 - Hungary Bumpy Trails Take Me Home September 26 to October 6, 2015 Cycling distance in Hungary: 488km's Total cycling distance: 1628km's Hungarian Border Crossing After sadly leaving the amazing Oksana, Jan and Andrei in Bratislava, we quickly reached the Hungarian border with tailwinds pushing us along the way. I swear the wind turns into the exact opposite direction each time we change travel direction ourselves. But today the wind gods were smiling on us and rewarding us with some very welcome winds at our backs. Of course because of this wretched Schengen Area Agreement we once more did not get a stamp in our passport. In fact there isn't really a border crossing in the "traditional" sense. Only an open gate and a sign with the Hungarian colours. All that changes is the Language. Hungarian Border Crossing   Immediately after crossing the border things change a little. It's more rural and you can tell that this is no ...

Croatia - Short But Sweet

Country #7 - Croatia Peaceful Country Roads October 6 to October 8, 2015 Cycling distance in Croatia: 81km's Total cycling distance: 1709km's Croatian Border Well, there's not much to say about a country where we spent one night and a total of 1 1/2 days cycling. After we had moved 2 meters from the Hungarian Policewoman's booth to the next window we were processed by the equally friendly Croatian border agent and welcomed into the country. A scruffy looking "wanderer" in flip flops and with a ratty backpack was talking while taking a video of himself with a selfie stick. He was wandering from Greece to god only knows where. Good Signage in Croatia Here the route follows very well marked quiet country roads and the feeling was incredibly peaceful ...until swarms of little black flies hit us as we rode along. I could literally hear them clicking against my helmet but I just pushed on. After all, what else can you do? Patti had stopped...

Yaviza, Panama and Homeward Bound

Image
Day 44 to Day 49 Wednesday, April 21st to Monday, April 26th, 2010 Panama City to Yaviza to Meteti Meteti to Panama City Causeway Panama City Causeway to Guadalupe, Panama Highlands Guadalupe to Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica Playa Hermosa to San Jorge, Nicaragua San Jorge to Isla Ometepe, Nicaragua Lago Bayano on the way to Yaviza The rains seem to have come early and I'm planning on riding early in the morning to get to whatever destination ahead of the daily afternoon deluges. The ride down to Yaviza is along a very good paved road along farms and deforested former jungle. It did not feel very wild like I was expecting. There was about a total of 200 metres of dirt/gravel in construction zones and everything else was paved. After one immigration check and 2 military checkpoints I was in Meteti, the last town before heading to Yaviza at the end of the road. The checkpoints were all routine, with the usual "where are you going?", "where are you from?", "how lon...
