4Runner Roadtrip – Thasos to Rotterdam
After all of the adventures going across Turkey, Georgia, Armenia and back we were ready for some down time. The border debacle had really cemented this notion and we (Shani) found us a very chill spot on the Greek isle of Thasos. Three days turned into three weeks of doing almost nothing. The guys running […]
4Runner Roadtrip – A Race Across Turkey and a Holiday in Greece
With our time in Georgia finishing up and our doctors appointments set in Turkey, we reluctantly left our sea side town. We were quite curious to see the Black Sea from the Turkey coast line. Our plan was to spend a few weeks, maybe more going across the top of Turkey and finishing our loop […]
4Runner Roadtrip – Sardinia to Turkey
After almost 6 months living on Sardinia we were ready to head out on our big Caucuses adventure. Shani had successfully navigated the Italian citizenship system and had a freshly minted Italian passport and ID card. None of which would have been possible without the help of our new friends Nicola and our landlady Piera. […]
RV Roadtrip – Romania Part 2
After our visit to Bran and Vampire Camping we had a short drive over to Cheile Râșnoavei where there is a large guesthouse and camping site. It is an absolutely beautiful area and the camping was spacious and the facilities are good but most of all the hostess was extremely nice to us. We were […]
RV Roadtrip – Romania Part 1
Ah Romania, the legendary land of vampires, Transylvania and of course Count Dracula. A land of castles and medieval towns, with modern infrastructure and a party destination on the Black Sea. And it’s still a place where horse and buggy rumble up and down the streets sharing the road with mini buses, big rigs and […]
RV Roadtrip – Bulgaria Part 2
Sad to leave the guys at Camping Rino, we knew three weeks sitting at the lake was probably enough and we needed to head back to Bulgaria and finish our tour of that country. Prior to leaving we had figured out a different route back to Bansko, our first destination in Bulgaria. We decided to […]
RV Roadtrip – Macedonia (or FYROM)
After our overnight and morning visit to Rila Monastery we decided to head into Macedonia(currently called North Macedonia or FYROM) thinking it might be nice to hang out at Lake Ohrid for a bit. We had filled up our LPG, entered the GPS coordinates in Gabby and we were on our way. Lake Ohrid was […]
RV Roadtrip – Bulgaria Part 1
After a free camper stop at an RV dealer in Thessaloniki and then a few more days on the coast in Alexandroupoli, Greece it was time for us to head the rig north and move into Bulgaria. Our first stop, Sakar Hills Camping, wasn’t too far over the border near a small village called Bisar. […]
RV Roadtrip – Ancient Corinth, Athens, Delphi and Meteora
After a sad farewell to our new best friends we were headed off to see some of the most famous tourist sites in Greece. So long to the carefree wild camping and life in the Peloponnese, off to the ancient ruins of Greece! First stop, Ancient Corinth. We parked up at a small and rustic […]
RV Roadtrip – Wild Camping in Greece, the Dimitrios Shipwreck and Monemavasia
After our days in Kalamata our next stop was Gytheio and another free PJ’s camping spot. Gytheio is the site of ancient Cranae, the island where according to legend Paris of Troy and Helen from Sparta spent their first night together before departing for Troy, thus igniting the Trojan War. Gytheio was also the sea […]
