The second part of my journey begins with a return slog up to Venice, an Italian city I’ve yet to visit, and given my love for the country it’s a travesty that I’ve never been there. After Venice onward to the Balkans and I might try and follow the route of Alain Rumpf who recently complete the Trancontinental race…  His website is here.

Of course I have a few places I want to go and see and I’ve heard some of the capital cities are small and cyclable so I would love to pass through and maybe see if there are any Capoeira scenes there. My Mestre often visits one of our groups Belgrade so I reckon there is a good bet! Anyway I plotted the route by showing the cities I intend to pass by or travel through. I wouldn’t mind seeing some old Soviet/Communist Architecture especially the derelict stuff… Post any suggestions in the comments!

Got a witty retort? Leave it here...
