Super day today! Started at 8:30am under blue skies. Because I didn't book breakfast at the hotel, I'll stop at McDonald's first. Today I'm heading back to Germany. My next...

Nach unruhiger Nacht bin ich schon um 8:30h auf dem Motorrad Richtung Wroclaw (Breslau). War noch echt kühl aber sonnig. Auf der Ringautobahn um Krakau herrscht 'rush hour'. 40...

I had a great night's sleep last night. Relaxed for breakfast around 9:00 am and showered, shaved, combed my hair, and stood at the bus stop in a good mood at 10:00 am. Took the...

Leave the hotel at 9:00 am. Drive through the city center to the E40 / M10 towards the Polish border. My god, the roads in Lviv are so bad that I'm afraid for my enduro. Maybe...

Wow! What a city! After the hotel disaster yesterday (and today!), I thought Lviv was not going to work out. Yesterday, I had to move to another hotel, which was extremely...

The night at the hotel in Schytomyr was restless. The hotel is located on a six-lane road (without lane markings) and it is quite noisy. Closing the windows is not an...

Today 17°C, cloudy, National Day in Ukraine (Independence Day from the Soviet Union) and 140 km to Schytomyr on the M06 / E40 heading east. I'm starting my journey back home...

Spent the whole day in Kiev. In the morning, rode the motorcycle to the airplane museum at Schuljany airfield. Despite the heavy traffic, it went well. On the way back to the...

Woke up at 5:00 (27°C in the room), finished packing and showered at 8:00 at the breakfast table. I definitely want to be at the border crossing to Ukraine before the midday...

That was a good decision to book two nights and spend a whole day in Gomel. Very beautiful city, many old buildings, well maintained, much more charming than Minsk. Minsk was...

Start with a hearty breakfast, outside! It is predicted to be around 31°C and about 220 km to Gomel. Planned route: Take the P31 to Parycy in Babrujsk, then take the P82...

Minsk 9:00 a.m., the sun is already 24°C. I'm taking my motorcycle out of the 'car jail', Vadim advised me to park it here. The security guard wishes me 'Good morning' and tells...

Ran briefly around the vicinity of Vadim's apartment in the morning and bought a few things at the supermarket. Fish is not included, it's practically only semi-fresh...

Didn't sleep well last night, worried about crossing the border into Belarus. The question is, do I have all the necessary papers for myself and the motorcycle, and what do I do...

Leave Šiauliai towards the East again around 10:00 am. 220 km to Vilnius. The weather is sunny, 23°C. The first 70 km on the highway are fine. I take occasional breaks in...

Viktoriia and I spend a few beautiful hours in Palanga. There isn't much time, her flight back to Kiev is at 15:30h and I have - no, I want - to go to Šiauliai today. Šiauliai...

Seetag auf der Victoria Seaways. Ruhige See, diesiges Wetter, kein Internet, Zeit zum Ausruhen, endlich mal wieder ein Buch lesen ... Die Kabine ist echt klein, reicht mir aber...

After a year of preparation, we'll start at 12:00 noon after the last 4 hours in the office. In pouring rain, but I didn't pack sunscreen anyway. ;-). The first stage goes to...
