SilverBack ready to roll. Day 1 nearly underway.


Have some fog ahead in the direction we are headed.


Nice and cool to keep the senses alert. (This is Celsius)

Will load some photos and descriptions once I get to a more stable wifi. Let it be known that the first day of the road trip was an adventure, to say the least! Safe and sound in Sandanski, Bulgaria. Very interesting to be in a former soviet bloc nation again!

Day 1:
Left early and made it to the Macedonia boarder without incident, here are a few photos of Pristina to Southern Kosovo. I'll update with more when I'm back home.
Just outside of Pristina



Kosovo Harley (A sort of rototiller with a 1/2 of a wagon and seat attached)

Starting to go through the Shar Mountains

The guy behind me wants to help push me up the hill

Thanks

Here are a few photos from the trip through FYROM, interesting landscape changes.
Between the boarder and Skoje. ( the capital city)

Yet another tunnel!

Had to p__!

Cool tunnel in Southern FYROM that has a open air valley in the middle. Neat tree growing out of the steam that runs through the valley.

Another from Southern FYROM as we skirted a weather system off to our left.

Imagine finding this here!

Had to pose for a shot!! Got lots of looks from the locals. Then again, SilverBack always get lots of looks over here.


We were less than 30km from the FYROM- Bulgaria boarder, so I'll post more photos tomorrow. Hope you all are enjoying the trip so far!

Welcome to the EU...

Nice roads and shit roads like everywhere else in this part of Bulgaria. Hotter than hell today.

Tires about to melt.

Nice driving so far.

Nice Catholic Church

Not such a nice road

Snug as a bug in a rug
