Across Namibia by pickup truck. Part 2.

There is a place in the Namib desert with a terrifying name Dead Valley. Being situated among the sands and surrounded by high orange dunes, this place fascinates with its minimalism and bright colors.

Across Namibia by pickup truck. Part 1.

After 16 hours of two flights by Ethiopian Airlines with a two-hour break in Addis Ababa we finally landed at Windhoek airport. And now I am going down the ramp to the hot concrete coating. From the Moscow slush we got to the capital of Namibia, which is a state in the south of Africa.

And I'm not a sportsman, I'm a traveller. — So your answer is "no"? — No, of course, I agree! When does it start?Read more

The next country that I am going to visit on my way back home is Slovenia. There is less than 200 km between Padua (where I stayed for the night) and the border with Slovenia. But before crossing it I decided to make a stop in Venice, a famous city in the northeast of Italy.Read more

Across Europe on two wheels. Sequel. Part 1

Right half a year ago, I rode my motorbikey across seven countries up to the capital of Serbia and there I left it. As always, Belgrade welcomed me with hugs from my friends, to whom I left my motorbike for safekeeping.
