Long Day’s Journey Into Night……

Howdy. Oki. I´ve not written anything in a few days. Been tired. Tina has done good tho. We left Idilevo/Moto Camp a couple of days ago and has travelled west. First stop was Nis, Serbia. And then via back roads over the mountains to Novi Pazar. Mainly a muslim town it seems so we had a hard time to find wine to Tina´s birthday dinner. She had to drink water instead but was a rather happy camper even after this little mishap. The roads we´ve been riding today was…….interesting….. And the sat navigator made us do a detour that took 4 hours from todays riding. The surrounding mountains seem to confuse the navigator since it can´t see the satellites all the time. We had to turn around and go back the same way we came from. And then I decided to trust the navigator again when it suggested a smaller but shorter road. That made us have to drive on really narrow and bad roads over the mountains for hours and hours and it got dark and we had to drive in the dark for quite some time……. But we made it to Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, at 9 o´clock at night. The road over the mountains after the sun set was interesting. Steep cliffs and hardly no safety rails. But we made it. Some pics…..

Some dogs at Debbie´s and Andy´s place in Idilevo.

Polly and her cat.

Ica in Nis. Wonderful and very friendly guy with a fantastic family.

A ear.

A ski resort under construction in western Serbia.

Tina and some guys at the border to Montenegro. Don´t ask me why but many of the guys that works at the border had been to Landskrona (shitty place in Sweden) and they all spoke alittle swedish. I found that amusing. They also gave Tina a chair to sit on while I put on my gloves.

Beautiful view on the mountain back roads in Montenegro.

A lake that we passed twice since we had made a wrong turn and gone in the wrong direction for hours……

This is what some of the roads we drove today looked like on the navigator.

More tomorrow if we find a place to stay that has wireless internet…..

Cheers//Jan

  1. A long journey in the mountains – Enjoy this exellent song 🙂

    The long and winding road, that leads to your door,
    Will never disappear. I’ve seen that road before.
    It always leads me here, lead me to your door.

    The wild and windy night, that the rain washed away
    has left a pool of tears, crying for the day.

    Why leave me standing here? Let me know the way…

    For Jan and the GPS Navigator 🙂
