As requested, all for u girls! ;)

Lets begin with the report, have little hope to complete it in few days.  [coffee]
Our trip began at Motoshop (local dealer for yamaha etc.), they did us breakfast. Planed start at 9am. From the left Tomas, Ugnius (guy who did as little 'see off' party), Vytas and me.



Great ride from Vilnius, runing to Polish border. Begins to rain... :( And it follows us all way to Bulgaria (some times stops, some times - not).




As a new tradition, we buy every Playboy edition in every country:


Late dinner stop in a middle of ... poland:


We did only 700 km's first day becouse of rain, and becouse Tomas have only dimmed visor on his helmet - it is not possible to run at night (don't speek about rain and night). First stop in Poland - nice place Hotel Duo. Photos about "simple apparel drying instructions":




Second day was pretty good, no big clouds, good temp for riding. Crossing border to Slovakia, then Romania. Great curvy mountain roads- hairpins. Thats how we look after 40 km's of them:





Refueling and crossing border to Romania:


Ducati became real enduro bike! Take a look, how hard shock absorbers have to work on those roads - bumbs...


Taking Romania in short way - we turned into Bucharest direction, crossing Sibiu (nice town, becouse http://store.throttleentertainment.com/images/products/detail/Romaniacs2007Poster.jpg Romaniacs takes place in there). ~150 kms to Bucharest was on motorway, so we didn't get any new impressions on that - just ride, but n some way i broke my new sunglasses, they was alive 1h20min :)


There is border Romania-Bulgaria, Dunai bridge:


Arived to Ruso city, next to border, weather getting wors, clouds became dark, storm wind... 300+ km's to go :(


Storm ended after 100 hardes km's in our trip:




Afer few hours we've done our trip, BURGAS. Photos made next morning:




After long night, going to get breakfast... but as i can gues, first and closest bar didnt' accept credit cards (even EUR'os not), we need to exchange some cash - direction -> center?! We found several banks not far from first bar, but as we notice there is more nice place besides - Grill bar. yes!!!

First beer!



After braekfast - Black sea!




Tomas knows how save is to swim and observe topless girls close to the beach!!! :)



I visit my doughter that day (she was very suprised, very very!). She use to live in Burgas for few years.

Next few days in Burgas was bit drunk, bit funny, bit... of everything!




There is monument for polish-lithuanian poet Adam Mickevich, he use to live in Burgas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Mickiewicz



We left Burgas after 3 days, taking ride to new place, with no big houses, bars, human crowds. Just sea, nature and sand...





Dinner:  [drink]

Not all at all, to be continued!  [coffee]

In the US, caca = shit, but I doubt both words are pronounced the same!
