Riding Across Europe - one girl, one Suzuki VanVan - 12 000km
Hi Guy's I would like to share with you my story.
In 2011 I ride across Europe on small Suzuki VanVan (125ccm). In 48 days i rode 12 000km. At the beginning there were: 2 girls, 2 Suzuki VanVan's, 12 000km but Caroline decide to go back home after two weeks in the saddle. Here yo can find notes from my adventure :mchappy: Soooo let's start: Approximate route: Warsaw – Budapest – Transfagarasan – Ohrid – Bar – Bari - Florence – Monaco – Nice – Cannes – Barcelona – Valencia – Gibraltar – Lizbona – Porto – Bilbao – La Rochelle – Luxembourg – Brussels - Amsterdam – Berlin – Warsaw.

Day 1
We started our journey! Greetings from Kaniów (Poland), we’re spending night with nice motorcycle family (Thomas & Isabell) : ) The first kilometers (miles) were great. Sunny day, empty road. Just two bike's which attracted the attention on a pitstops :thumbup: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-D...02753c55_z.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-c...6/SAM_1250.JPG Me (Veronica): https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-r...367a0ec8_z.jpg Caroline: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-9...1b65bf8c_z.jpg |

Yeasterday we had visit extermination camp - Auschwitz II-Birkenau. It's unbelivable how many people were killed by Nizes in this place. After that short lesson of history we realize how we are luck that we live in free country.. and that we can make our dreams come true.

Day 2
Day 2
We had plans today to get to Budapest, but as it turns out... plans are made to change them.. :cool4: We started morning relatively late and we still had to do a few things on Polish territory... when we crossed border, we went in to the direction of the village Čičmany, known for its dark wooden houses painted in white ornaments. The route, which passes through the valley of Rajčanki is great. It is a beautiful road - ideal for motorcycle rides. Of course, do not run out of adventures, rain soaked us several times, at night we were looking for accommodation, gps suggest some extreme track and spooky place :helpsmilie: But fortunately we found safe place to sleep :) http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...a/sam_1281.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...a/sam_1284.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...a/sam_1288.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...a/sam_1296.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-7...2/SAM_1302.JPG VanVan's slept at the back of the bar ;) http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...a/sam_1311.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...a/sam_1305.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-M...0/SAM_1303.JPG |

Romania
Day 4 Romania
They say a lot about this country. Unfortunately much more harm than good ... why? Hard to say... how far it surprised us - with beautiful scenery, fabulous roads and the weather is great 32C... and this interesting architecture. We hope that tomorrow this image won't be disturbed by anything. We're going to ride the Transfăgărăşan route, which personally I can't wait to ride :smiliex: best, Veronica http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...a/sam_1419.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...a/sam_1424.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...a/sam_1427.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...a/sam_1430.jpg |
