A few months ago I would never have believed that I would cycle to Asia. Well, now we have taken the ferry across the Bosporus and landed in the Asian part of Turkey. For the next project, Tokyo by bike, it is now a piece of cake.
So today the legendary last stage through the slums and suburban chaos

The double Hakan. Today we were followed by a storm, which we could observe very well on the wide plains. This meant that we could always weigh up whether we were still good enough to drive to the next village. When it got really windy, we decided to take a break in a small village and drink a cup of

Final sprint feeling. Despite the fact that we had over 200 km ahead of us today and we weren't really in the mood for long straight stretches and "federal roads" anymore, we set off in good spirits at dawn in Plovdiv this morning. It actually turned out as we had suspected, our route today consisted

Merci! Bon Appetit!
You hear this when you get something to drink or when someone thanks you. When saying goodbye, Bulgarians say Ciao. This morning we left Sofia before sunrise. Before that, we took a farewell photo with our hosts Desi and Tanjo. We had a wonderful day off in the Bulgarian capital. Of

We have experienced a lot of things before, for example, that planned routes often turned out differently than expected. Sometimes when we started from a good road, we had to
over steep slopes or through the bushes. Today, however, it was different. We set off from Glijan without any pretensions. There

While the muezzin sings outside, I think about today. It's best to start at the back, because we've just moved into our accommodation for the night. Due to a lack of WiFi and a precise description, we stood in some very busy street in Gjilan and stared stupidly. Suddenly a car stopped next to us and

It was cold today. We arrived in Durmitor National Park in Montenegro. Today we planned a shorter but more strenuous stage, as the weather forecast was catastrophic. So tomorrow and the day after, when it is supposed to be better again, we will still be able to enjoy the beautiful landscape. It wasn

Dear diary, we are in Montenegro! Yeah! Today was a better day. To be precise, today was a good day. The only downside is perhaps that we are below the required average distance. In Sarajevo we first had a very good espresso in a little alcove with an old lady in the market. Afterwards we took a taxi

Es wird Zeit ein Fazit der Tour zu ziehen. Lasst mich bei den Menschen beginnen. Seit unserem Abschied von unseren Liebsten in Stuttgart haben wir, bis auf wenige Ausnahmen, nur freundliche und hilfsbereite Menschen auf der Strecke getroffen. Die erste Nacht bei Bens Verwandten war grandios, zweite Nacht
