Raphael is doing better again, but now Simone got it... We just want to go back to Elbasan now. But after just 5 kilometers Raphael has another flat tire. The owner of a car tire shop is trying to help us get the tire back on the rim without "eggs". Unfortunately, it doesn't take long until the next

A shitty night for Raphael, he got sick, couldn't sleep. In the morning he dragged himself onto his bike with the last of his strength.
2 kilometers later we reached the asphalt road - what an irony. There are also a few houses here. If only we had known that yesterday.....
The valley out to Shkodër is

We knew there were two ways to get to Theth: the northern road, which is how we got here. Fresh asphalt, great to drive. And the second is the southern way. It should be gravel and difficult to drive on.
Yes, we don't mind - we don't want to drive the same route twice, so we head south.
On the first few

Unfortunately, nothing came of the planned rest. Simone was completely flat for 1 1/2 days - gastrointestinal.
It wasn't until the evening before she left that she started to feel better...
With 1740hm, however, the most demanding stage was ahead of us.
Despite these modest circumstances, it was again a

We are on our way to our last cycling holiday country: Albania. The road up to the top of the pass, just before the border, is just a dream! Single lane, no cars, great view. What more do you want.
Once at the top, Raphael knows an "abbreviation"... It's always the same with abbreviations, isn't it? It

What a night!!! We haven't closed our eyes. It was so stormy, we still can't believe our tent is still intact. Insanity. Our ears are still ringing and Simone has a headache.
We've had enough of the stressful coastal road. You always imagine it being so romantic, cycling next to the coast, enjoying the

We decide, contrary to our original plan, to take a small shortcut to Kotor with the ferry, to drive out the whole bay. Golden decision!! It's just beautiful here, we really enjoy the ride and take 1000 photos.
You have to see the old town of Kotor anyway, we spend half the day there and get back on the

After a fine day at the Croatian sea, we made our way to Dubrovnik very early. As we can see, coming here by bike is a real advantage, there are a lot of tourists and very few parking spaces nearby, which of course all have to be paid for. Early in the morning we have the whole city to ourselves, only

In Nikšič we have another rest day, it's raining cats and dogs, only for a short time, but we are happy to be sitting in the dry with a good Nikšič. The beer is our favorite beer here. We have tried and tried and always tried to taste the local.
Just a few kilometers outside of the city you have a great

Another highlight of our bike tour!
The night was starry, total silence and darkness around us. But it was cold.
We started with the best weather in the morning, the predicted rain spared us a bit. The view was simply breathtaking, changing around every curve. From the steppe-like plateau to Steinberge

After a rest day, which we spent on a campsite right next to the river in light rain, we continue upstream again, along the Drina until we reach the Montenegrin border after 30 kilometers. In a good mood we tackle the climbing - there are still over 1000 meters on our daily schedule.
Shortly after the

The route between Višegrad and Goražde would be really beautiful, unfortunately you only drive 30 kilometers from tunnel to tunnel. These are unlit and really dangerous for cyclists even with lights. The drivers race past you ruthlessly - we know that from the Balkans by now, but in the dark it's something

A really very short drive. But when we arrived in Višegrad, we realized how tired we were. So we decided to rest somewhere in the shade. It's not that easy: 1. Finding a shady spot that is accessible by bike and 2. Finding a place to lie down that isn't full of rubbish. What a pity... The river (Drina

After a hearty breakfast and only 20 kilometers we reach the capital of Albania, Tirana. Really cool, there is even a dedicated cycle lane that separates the two lanes.
Then we take a detour to stay away from the main road. Shortly before Elbasan we climb up the last climb of our journey. A great little
