Hi Harry,

Just arrived home this morning from Leipzig, I blasted out there this weekend and left bike with friends. I head back on 14th May for 3weeks Colditz - Krakow - L'Viv(UKR) - Kamianets-Podil's'kyi(UKR) - Chernivtsi(UKR) then into Romania via Siret to Suceava(RO).

A Romanian friend gave my RO itinerary the once over and looks like this

Suceava - Cascada Cailor in Parcul National Park(largest waterfall in RO) - Cluj - Sighisoara - Sibiu - Bran(via Trans highway) - Brasov - Constanta - Vama Veche...

After RO I'm undecided but most likely head home via Bulgaria, Serbia etc...

I can recommend Lindner hotel leipzig, 40eur a night for 4**** and can park bike under mini canopy right outside reception...

There is Stasi museum in Leipzig as well that is meant to be worth a look as well...

Where are you planning on visiting in RO/BG??

Cheers,
John

I was in Albania last year and was surprised by the friendly and helpful people. We were in the south Sarande and went up by the coast to Fier. Then up to Berat, Corovodë and up to lake Ohrid (very nice). Then into MK, KS and back into Al to take the boat trip on Lake Komani!!!
No problems at all. Traffic is ok!
Gr,
Vincent

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
