Europe

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

Arrivederci Sardegna! Bonjour Corse! The island of Corsica is 2.5 times smaller than Sardinia and belongs to France, though the locals call themselves Corsicans, not French.Read more

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.

A new super bridge across the Dardanelles Strait impressed me with its scale! Although the Crimean bridge is actually four times longer, this one is different. It's the largest suspended bridge in the world that is supported by only two pillars, 334 m high each.

The beginning of winter in the Moscow region is not the best time of the year, especially when the real winter has not come yet and instead of it you see a mess of mud and snow in the streets. There is a lack of sunshine: when you leave home in the morning, it's still dark and when you look out the window after lunch, it's already sunset.Read more

Well, I wish we hadn't left Moscow in this weather. The further from the capital we went along the M1 highway, the lower the temperature became. As soon as we reached Minsk, the dashboard showed a pitiful figure +8°CRead more
