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

replace "c" with "k" in lithuania will be the same meaning!!!

but kaka most used by children...

Hey,

it was very easy for me - coz my doughter lives in Burgas for several years. It' was first time I visti here...
And the trip planing was more like "lets go folks that direction".

First we must to go thru Poland, it was easy. Then Slovakia...
Garmin was like assistance to miss-directing.

Next photo story from that trip.

On our way to Doug's moto camp (Doug - this guy I've met in ADVrider, he's traveling across the world on his old Harley Davidson). Before the trip we agree to meet at his place. Anyway - some new people, new adventures, new experiences. So those photos was shot on the way to Doug's place. Very windy was that day. Traveling on bikes was more than adventure, u must to fight, not only with km's u r driving, but wind, it was so strong... I have no imagine how to describe. Anyway, those was in a middle of way. Nothing important, but... Photoset

Art!

AfricaTwin.

knock knock.. how to launch it?

I'm posing - fast ridin'

And finaly, we're at Doug's place.

Doug's Harley.

Doug's military Moto Guzzi

Doug's Soviet IZh

Warning signs!

We have very relaxing sleep that night... not becouse of HD beds, but rake (bulgarian vodka) with beer

Good for now.
Going to bar (my wife stays at mothers place in 300kms distance)

Wow, great report and pictures.

That's what it's all about, good friends, the road, the bikes, the adventure, etc.

Only one minor complaint though...where are the pictures of those topless beach ladies you mentioned?

didzhej · June 24, 2009, 01:45:45 PM

Just back from town

heheh... DD..

those are deep in archives! and archives protected by paswd's!
Know few good links, should I share???

DucHead · June 24, 2009, 02:04:13 PM

More cool pics, thanks!! I like the shots of the MIG!

While sleeping in a Harley bed, did you find that you snored louder?

No need to remind me never to touch Doug's bikes!

Morning. Leaving Doug's place.
~300 km's to Serbia border.

Have no good opinion about Serbia, still country after war etc. But nothing special. Good cars, bikes crossing they roads. Launch at this little cafe in the petrol station. Have nice surprise - Ferrari F40 just came by! What a sound. And I just realized that it's not so bad at all in Serbia!

Have met couple from Italia, they going to Turkey for holidays. Have told about our trip - they think we're crazy, especial me (i guess - because of Monster)

It's about 250km's from Bulgaria's border to Nis, Serbia. From there - great motorway till Budapest, Hungary. Take a look to landscape...

One small fix for 'africa' on motorway:

Other landscape:

Don't have more pictures from Serbia or Hungary, because we cross it very fast. Only what we came in to Budapest at night and began to search for hostel/hotel near road to Krakow (ignoring that first we must cross Slovakia)

Getting angry after every hotel we step by- they all was full! Something wrong, so much hostels/hotels and B&B was fully filled, no rooms, or even beds. Getting cold outside and we have no thoughts to sleep in a tent (from lithuania we don't use any of two we bring with us).

We came back on road to Krakow After 2 hours of searching , crossing border with Slovakia. Found one hostel after 100km's from border.
After little chat with administrator we agree to see what they have (he told that 'nothing special'), but u can't imagine how I was happy when we came in to room with 8 or more beds (some of them was double, some not). Overall we get into paradise after ~1300km's we travel from Doug's.

This is our lat meal that night.

View from balcony:

Photos from Slovakia mountains:

And this is a prove that GPS or Speedometer is lying.

Stay tuned!, that's not all!
