Bullets, Bombs, and Bosnia—Sarajevo’s Suffering Past
/0 Comments/in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Europe, Travelogue /by allanFor the past two months, I’ve been in touch with Mark Anderson, an Indiana-based rider who also has been riding eastern Europe the past few months. We planned to meet for a beer in Sarajevo. After I sorted out accommodations near the old town, we connected at the City Pub for a cold mug of […]
Breaking Borders & Riding Bending Roads to Bosnia
/2 Comments/in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Europe, Montenegro, Travelogue /by allanFor the past two nights, I laid my head to rest in the town of Becici, south of Budva on the southern coast of Montenegro. It’s been fun sharing stories, beer, and good Montenegrin wine with my new friends at the Hotel Swiss Holiday—they went out of the way to find me secure parking—even moving […]

I pull off the road, and a parking guard lifts the gate that keeps most vehicular traffic out of the tiny bayside fisherman village of Perast. There is one street, […]
More Medieval Meandering in Montenegro
/2 Comments/in Europe, Montenegro, Travelogue /by allanIt’s pushing over 100 degrees when I arrive at the border between Montenegro and Albania. There is a massive line of cars waiting, to get into Albania. I join a handful of motorcycles that weave closer to the control point, but we still have to wait. I take off my jacket and helmet, and as […]
Albania to Montenegro—with riding Vlog (video)
/2 Comments/in Albania, Europe, Montenegro, Travelogue /by allanIt’s with regret and sadness that my time in Albania nears the end. From Sarande to Tirana the history, people, food, and wine excelled and beyond expectations. Only the thrill of discovery, something new helps to cure the sadness of long goodbyes. So it’s the open arms and welcome of Montenegro and the promises of […]
