    Ukraine by bicycle – where Prut and Tscheremosh rivers flow, ...

    the view


    If not Bukovina region, I would have remembered Romania through the prism of few interesting stretches of sunflowers and corn. Here, in the green hills of the Romanian-Ukrainian border, the facades of houses seem to be woven of delicate lace. There are pastel in colour as layette newborn baby or decorated with colorful patterns and stripes. The roofs cover the houses as Sunday ironed tablecloth, gates invite you to enter with a subtle wooden cut-out. Comely are even yard buildings – the color of dark wood or painted in white and brown stripes with lofts plastered to the side. Almost every house and bypass constitute a kind of work of art, from which the world is getting happier and more beautiful – especially in the light of the sun of coming to the end, but still hot summers. I go every now and then stopping to admire and my head turns around.

    the view the view the view the view the view



    I set off from Iasi by bicycle heading towards the capital of the region of Suceava, enough with the train pick-ups! Before entering the Ukraine I wanted to get to the foot of the Carpathian Mountains and visit at least one or two of the painted monasteries, which region of Bukovina is famous of.
    Leaving any big city, even on a weekend, is never a cycling pleasure, Therefore, as soon as I can I turn in a smaller way, then another, and another.. Although the area reminds steppe the villages here are rather well-maintained and the roads pretty good. As in Romania, horse carriages in large quantities pass by. In order to pass the minor hill as it seems to me I climb up already a few kilometers when the asphalt ends. In Romania, for “improving” the surface of smaller local roads they cover them with small stones. I try to cycle on, wheels barely turn, finally I let it go, walking sounds a better option. A car passes by and some men try to explain me something showing me to turn back, finally seeing me reluctant they give up and go. It’s one of two cars only that pass by me while pushing the bike for the next… 25 kilometers. Angry with myself for doing these shortcuts I fall in a roadside apple orchard exhausted and stay the night. But as we all know, the fatigue always passes and the apples are tasty, However, I promise myself to remember not to try any very local and tiny Romanian road any more.

    I head for the village Kaczyce (cacica), where to this day inhabited by the descendants of Poles, mostly miners' families, who were brought here with their families in the first two decades of the nineteenth century to the local salt mine. In the Polish Home, where as I've learned, you can spend the night by reading from the notice at the window "to get the key please call Ms. Krystyna or walk to her house ". Inside the house on the table I find a guestbook full of entries, However, this evening, no one apart from me sleeps there.

    The roof of the sixteenth-century monastery in the small village of Arbore, It resembles a hat mushroom mounted on thick, painted images in the leg. This is one of the famous painted monasteries Bukovina - small, rarely visited so the more likely there I appear. Scenes of scripture on the outer facades were painted to support the process of evangelism of illiterate people, that when gathered around sacred buildings could to look at scenes from Holy Bible.

    Ukraine? Where are you going, there is a war there! I get messages full of concern from friends, mostly foreigners. Yep, the war is still going on in the east, the new Republic of Donetsk was formed and Donbas are is controlled by pro-russian militants.

    Here, in western Ukraine in spring 2014 year, "Lace. In villages and towns I come across crosses and plaques commemorating the struggle during the "blue revolution". From the pictures faces of men, mostly young look at me, sometimes even boys.

    When I entered, I was not prepared for such a big economic shock. Since my last visit to Ukraine has passed 7 years (Often there will not be 2009 I pedaled around Crimea, I pedaled around Crimea here, from 2005 year below) A lot. It has always been cheaper here than in Poland, However, the current hryvnia exchange rate is so low, that even a budget traveller like me can feel rich. This, of course, is the aftermath of the events of recent years, war in the east of the country.

    In Chernivtsi I am hosted by Artem and Tatiana, is a local cycling family. We visit this beautiful city together, Topics however, stray again to life's issues. Work and money, of course,. Recently I found such work, I call different companies, check addresses, phones, check their database. For the first week of work I got 600 UAH (it is some 20 EUR), a second week 800 (it is some 30 EUR), for this I do not know yet how much I get says Tatiana. The average salary - for example as a shop assistant – it is some 1000-1500 UAH per month. 100 EURO. Sometimes it is 50, and sometimes 150. (two years later my friends moved out and settled in Israel).

    the view

    I can not get over such low prices, place in a hostel (checking, I dont use it) It costs the equivalent of 2-3, maximally 5 Euro. I do not need to pull out pots out of my panniers to cook – I always stop at a roadside restaurant for lunch. I love the Ukrainian food –  Ukrainian Borsch, that always has juicy beetroot (not brown) colour, solianka (soup of meat and vegetables, with seasoned tomatoes, olives and lemon slice) vareniki (small dumplings usually stuffed with meat) and raw veggies salad I pay 8-10 PLN . Tomatoes or apples are not subject to EU standards here so taste .. as sweet tomato or sour apple simply, instead of paper taste we already got used to.

    At the moment of crossing the border of the language barrier disappears and I can talk to people. Finally. I did not even realize, how much I missed this.  My not-so-perfect Russian is very useful, although Ukrainian is similar to Polish. The closer to the border with Poland the more my mother tongue is understood.

    So, you from Poland, from Warsaw! know, know, I lived 10 years. I worked at the stadium decades, I sold textiles, all legally, great business was, that, but before the championships in football Euro 2012 The stadium closed, built a new – yes nice – I have seen, but we had to roll up trade. I came home, here to Kołomyja. I have two cows and a milk is their. In the garden tomatoes, potatoes, pumpkin, fruit trees. Everyone is trying to grow something, and some animals grow in order to survive, a gig grabs. Since August I sit here on the road, I am selling watermelons - son-grown and something I pay for it. My brother died of a heart attack in Poland, you downloaded it, I settled it – I only gave 250 dollars and no one on the border is not clung.  He came back home, to myselves Vitaly says with obvious relief in his voice.

    Yep, the days of the Soviet Union was better, but it could not last longer, we all know it. Well, but the Baltic countries - such as Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia have changed and are doing well, they are a part of the European Union, but in Ukraine nothing changed, and it really gets worse every year. And now this war too.

    But let's leave in economics and politics, let's look at the environment. Kresy it is called in Polish. the street pavement made of stones, which is still the dominant surface in many places here it may not be the best for cycling, but gives the cities some kind of charm. gates of townhouses, sometimes beautifully renovated, sometimes musty moisture lead into the depths of living with thier lives yards. Packed in marshrutkas that eject clouds of stinking smoke people go somewhere, seller of fresh bread kvass cannot complain about the lack of customers during the hot days of September. Sunsets somewhere behind the hills Hutsulshchyna stop me to admire them.

    Truskavets area

    "Lace

     „Truskavets is a great place, to take a rest after the dubious attraction, that traveling roads of Ukraine is" This sentence from the guide encourages me to slightly deviate from the track and make it to the famous in the interwar period spa town , where among many others famous Poles as Jozef Pilsudski and Adolf Dymsza used to come for health treatment. The latter is a sacred truth, the first, however, absolutely not.

    From the pre-war spa in Truskavets was left but almost nothing, the old building was almost completely demolished in Soviet times. It is now not very attractive town, and a collection of post-socialist or brand new behemoths-sanatoriums, big construction site as well. Pump Room healing water "Naftusia" is an old, unattractive pavilion full of pigeons around. big disappointment.

    Already scheming how to come back, meanwhile on the border in Medyka, a nice and sincerely interested border guard, looking at the loaded bike, asks about the details of my trip. Although he does not expect details, I run through my head the images of last year. Autumn frosts and summer heat. 11 borders and some 7 000 km. I assumed, that I get to Asia but has done the European loop.

    There will be time for a summary but here winter approaches. It is high time to escape!.

Brittany is a little different France. No vineyard Brittany is a little different France. No vineyards here, but loads of castles, grazing cows and sheep, mostly rocky coast and wind. Pray so it blows at your back! 
I have planned for years and finally got there this summer. Lots to explore left there still though!

The Lavaux vineyard area stretches between Lausann The Lavaux vineyard area stretches between Lausanne and Vevey on a terraced, steep northern slope of Lake Geneva overlooking the peaks of the Alps.  A beautiful lake and even rows of lush green vines always create a beautiful sight, but I was wondering why is it a UNESCO site?
 "Oh, just millionaires started buying up the land and building houses there, that was the only way to protect the place," explained Anna, a solo cyclist friend who lives nearby and whom I finally met after years of Facebook virtual acquaintance.
I left Geneva looking at the sky with justified concern, because the last days here there was a storm after storm.  Fortunately, during the ride along the lake, it cleared up and we could soak up the beautiful views.  Just like on Lake Garda, the views here are luxurious.  I passed the spas of Thonon les Bains and Evian - the latter is known for its bottled water brand.  Here I could drink it at the source for free, apparently it does well. It was also time for the last bath.  It is difficult to provide any comment to the curr, in the evening I found myself on the Riviera, because that's what they call the shore between Montreaux, Vevey and Lausanne.  The density of people and buildings plus the most crowded week of the year and the long Swiss weekend did not bode well for accommodation, and that's exactly what happened.  There was one big disco on the coast and at the campsites, apart from the disco, were packed.  Like it or not, with no chance of wild camping - scared of being fined too - I went back 12 km to one of the earlier campsites. It was packed, but I didn't care as I put my tent up at midnight.
The decision to skip cycling through southern Switzerland and the higher mountains was not easy, oh no.  I returned to it several times, but the weather madness was the reason.  So if you are looking for a flatter Switzerland, I recommend the trail along the lakes and rivers, i.e. the northern part of the country.

Neglectig Instagram continued.. this photo is a fe Neglectig Instagram continued.. this photo is a few weeks old, but well.. do many wonderful places visited the last months mostly due to #housesitting that it's hard to remember. After Lago di Garda I enjoyed Piemonte and Val d'Aosta and having a few weeks before another assignment I decided to go to north of France. Started with a nice bicycle path along La Seine river. Idyllic landscape, multiple castles with the impressive medieval fortress of Château-Gaillard overlooking the meanders of the Seine, flanked by limestone cliffs.. cycling in France can get as easy and enjoyable as that .. Pushing my bicycle through the chinese Tian Shan feels like an old, unbelievable story here

- What are you doing here, are you traveling alone - What are you doing here, are you traveling alone?  asked Marco in front of Lidl seeing me packing my groceries. It's still the cheapest market in Italy and sometimes I buy there, although the amount of packaging plastic they use makes me sick. And it was in this market in Peschiera del Garda that I heard the biggest mix of languages for weeks, which made me even more surprised that anyone paid attention to me at all.
 - Do you want to sleep wild?  There are places by the lake, but not here. You can stay at my place if you like, but it's 15 km away - he added. 
Not this time, I was going the other way. 
When at the end of my stay in Tuscany I received a housesitting offer by Lake Garda, I thought to myself - why not?  I was here only once by bike. I've also decided to cancel housesitting gigs in Spain for other reasons.
The lake area is kind of luxurious, a nice change.
This is the largest lake in Italy, an extremely picturesque place.  As befits its post-glacial origin, it is long, the circumference is 160 km and in the northern section it bites into high mountains. Turquoise water, green trimmed lawns and high mountains on the horizon.Very touristy, but it's enough to cycle 5 km from the coast you embrace rolling hills, vineyards, crops and it's very normal and still beautiful.
But nature is not doing so well. Water level in Lake Garda is at its lowest in decades. In the face of the worst flooding in the Po Valley in over years, it's like a paradox. The lakes aren't just views but large bodies of water used in agriculture and power plants. The German press warned their readers,thousands of whom come here on holiday: "Lake Garda is so low that diving is dangerous."

I don't like numbers and don't count on them in th I don't like numbers and don't count on them in the summary of my trip around Sardinia.  I don't know how much I pedaled, what is the sum of elevation gains and stuff.  But wait, I know something! - I spent 16 days there and saw only part of the island. 
This place immediately won my heart, although I would rather avoid it during the season.  The beaches are insane, but it was too cold to swim. And too windy, although if you're lucky the wind blows in your favour. And maybe the prices, it's more expensive than on land.  Hills and mountains nearly everywhere.
Adventages? Nature, vast space, people, traces of indigenous people who once inhabited the island.  Mysterious Nuraghi Towers.  The enormity of traditions that are cultivated for the Sardinians, not for tourists. 
But let's finish describing my tour. I reached the town of Bosa, probably the most charming Sardinian town, where colorful houses are located on the mountainside and there is a castle on top of it. I haven't discovered whether it's a custom or whether painting houses is for tourists, but the fact is that in many Sardinian cities houses have facades in vivid colors and so is Bosa. I walked around the streets of Bosa a bit, ate ice cream and started rolling a few hundred meters up. Instead of the main road, I chose a smaller, more winding and with a greater dose of climbing, which usually provides more attractions and scenic impressions.  You wander through small villages where people say hello and ask where you are from.  Thanks to this, I came across two local celebrations on Sunday, which are related to religion, and on Monday the third one.  Phew!  The most interesting were tractors in floral styling, which later took part in the procession.

The winds will blow as they want my mother used to The winds will blow as they want my mother used to say - and in Sardinia the winds usually blow counter-clockwise.  When I reached Olbia on the east coast of Sardinia, I should have started cycling west. However, I was too keen to see the feast of Saint Efisio in Cagliari in the south of the island, so I decided to go there by train and disturbed this windy order. I got off the station before the city to find a quiet corner behind a bush for the night.  From there I went to Cagliari.
I saw the amazing fiesta and crawled out of town slowly.  Islands are islands, you can always count on wind blowing there.  And it blew right in my face.  I did 20km that afternoon and didn't enjoy it at all.
 I had an ambitious plan to conquer the interior and the east of the island, which is famous for its beauty, and it was.  Huge spaces, greenery, grazing cattle... we like it that way.  Extremely steep climbs and my bike loaded after the winter did their job - two days of struggling with them reduced my urges to push east, which is considered the most beautiful part of the island.  Willingly or not, after seeing the UNESCO site which are the ruins of the Bronze Age village in Barumini, the people of Sardinia called the Nuraghias, I climbed even higher and then went back to the sea to Oristano and packed the train back to Olbia.  Just to go with the wind along the coast. I wanted to see some of this emerald sea.  So I did, cycling the Costa Smeralda. The sun was shining beautifully, I didn't feel like taking a bath or staying in the sun. It's still too cold.  But the views alone are enough for me.
Nature are Number One in Sardinia.  The architecture was unobtrusive, not to say ugly.  Surprise. After seeing the gems of Tuscany and Puglia, this was a bit of a disappointment.  But, there are beautiful murals everywhere!

On my last, or penultimate, weekend in Tuscany thi On my last, or penultimate, weekend in Tuscany this spring, I was to wind my way through the roads of the Chianti hills. Yes, that's where the ones famous of wine-making (in the store ask for "kianti", not "cianti") and the place of the beginning of the l'Eroica bike race. I was there 10 years ago, and all in all, the hills around me are plentiful, but just to refresh my memory, stretch my calves and catch the first sun? I don't live too close, the cats had company over the weekend so I thought - well, how about a two-day trip? 
I didn't want to pack all the lodging equipment for one night, but two accommodation search engines had bad news, however - in an area of 150 km x 100 km for the night from Saturday to Sunday there was not a single vacant accommodation! Mount Amiata. On the second one the cheapest offers for more than 200 EUR.  The long Italian weekend has begun (April 25, Italy celebrates "Festa della Librazione" - Liberation Day). On top of that, the region is mega-touristy, and there is no camping apart from Siena. Let’s pack uwellell. 
Set off slowly like a tortoise ... past Asciano I entered, in the sense of pushed, on the famous white gravel roads, along which the route of the Eroica race leads and then even more slowlier!  I was occasionally passed by cyclists travelling light and on E-bikes, because that's the only way they cycle here. Envious. Eroica roads are for eagles or I need to revise my physical capabilities. I don't know what killed me more, the steepness of the roads or the number of motorcyclists on their roaring machines, but by the evening I decided that I've had and seen enough, I'm going back. And those dozen kilometers of return home in the dark - because nearly no vehicles anymore, listening to the sounds of the night, were perhaps as beautiful as the Tuscan and Sienese landscapes in spring.
And in a few days, a new cycling stage.

"Christmas with yours, Easter with whoever you want", "Christm "Christmas with yours, Easter with whoever you want", "Christmas with the family, Easter with whoever you want" - according to this saying, Easter in Italy is often spent away from home, with family or friends.  The beginning of the picnic season, one might say, the welcome of spring.  Children are given chocolate eggs.  Accommodation places are booked long before Christmas.  Although you can't generalize - in many homes everything from A to Z is cooked.
The Easter traditions hold strong in the south of the country, in Sicily and even in Puglia, but although I was hoping to participate, unfortunately I was not able to be there at that time again.  The processions that take place on Good Friday, are very solemn and gather hundreds of participants.  I really like to peek at local customs, but in Tuscany there is not much to see 🙃, unless watching hundreds of visitors would count as such.  It's interesting that when I searched (in three languages) for "Easter in Tuscany", I mainly see offers of accommodation and trips.  When I searched for "Easter in Puglia", the search engine shows mainly religious rites and local traditions.

This year spring is late, the trees are blooming, but the leaves are still on hold. Three days ago we had frost at night, it's supposed to rain during Easter. In fact, it's just about to start.  Yes, I've seen what's going on with the weather in Poland, I'm not complaining! 

So I jumped on my bike before this rain for a pre-Easter bike ride to Trequanda. I haven't been there yet this year.  This is another insanely picturesque road with a view of Monte Amiata and Crete Senesi.
 I enclose a handful of photos to whet your appetite for Tuscany and wish you a good Easter time.  Rest and live it as you like.
