It was already late afternoon and I still had more than 250Km to go (according to my goal of sleeping somewhere close to Istanbul and close to the Black Sea beach) – but what the heck, this was my first day of the adventure. So I’ve went all-in, of course against all good advices everywhere: “especially during the first days, take it slow and don’t do long miles days”. Yeah, right :D.
Oh boy, this is a tricky one. To give you an upfront spoiler, while documenting and making arrangements for all the required visas I’ve said to myself that, if I can pull it through, this will be my most complex logistics project ever. Well, I did pulled it through – and I was not that far from the truth at all, it really was complicated.
Since I’m honest all the way and this is an actual “after” post, the real final route was a bit different. It’s available here and except for the Mongolia part (and a bit before and after) this map is based on actual GPS tracks. A wee bit under 30.000 Km – so I still have my skills of lengthening any routes that I’m planning :D. My Garmin Zumo tricked me into losing some of the recorded tracks, so the Mongolia parts had to be recreated manually.
Finally it’s the start day (yeah, pun very intended). After all the planning, all the preparations, after all the worries and all the dreaming, it is happening. And not a second too soon, by...

Da, ne bate un vant de schimbare si daca tot am povestit aici pe blog si cum a inceput povestea noastra cu calul balan, hai sa spunem si cand se schimba capitolul. Pe scurt:...
Ce sa mai zic? Gata, acesta e filmuletul de “Treceti acasa, vulpi!”. Dupa Copenhaga am mai tras o fuga pe malul Marii Baltice sa vedem plaja alba de la Mons Klint (care nu era...
Dupa Stavanger a inceput drum de hai inapoi acasa. Cu niste noduri in gat am intins drumul si am luat-o spre Copenhaga, unde urma sa ne intalnim cu o prietena draga. Prin Suedia ne-am...
In drum spre Odda, de unde speram noi ca vom urca pe limba trolului – Trolltunga – am trecut prin Vallavik Tunnel si am traversat cel mai lung pod suspendat din Norvegia, Hardangerbrua Bridge....
Lysevegen road este drumul care coboara de la parcarea de unde incepe traseul de trekking catre Kjeragbolten (bolovanul suspendat) pana in buza fiordului Lysefjord. Pe aici nu aveam in plan sa ne plimbam rotile, dar...
