    I collect a long time, Before execute the daily movement. I pass through the frame leg and try to push as, that for the first time to sit on the saddle and not fall back on their feet. Do not I get on the bike and I take long-term action leading to budge. You have to consider when becoming, fall more to the left side. Cholera takes the dog jump out if someone brakes sudden movements are highly undesirable. were. Get up remembering, not to break suddenly just turn first to one side. Panniers move one after the other, taking each individual not at once with both hands, then it is tolerably. Get up slowly straightening your knees. The doctor ordered to use its skeleton as long as possible, exchange part for end. Gosh, I hope, with this is not the last resort. Woman's case the doctor ordered another check for half a year. How bad it will be again this you will need to seriously address, said, and find all the research years ago too. Because it is not with these matters, Mrs, śmichy-chichy. Half a year has passed, time again to visit your doctor.

    January, the multiplicity of the world time to return to everyday life. His life and his unwisdom – drilled a hole in my stomach to go on. Because it interesting, It may be more difficult, but interesting. Think about it, to stop and stay somewhere longer in this or other purposes is not new. All the time I planned to drive somewhere the sun is shining and stop at some of the "little" without defining.

    You had time, to understand, it's a great coincidence, it is here in Athens place for me, it is a cat and apartment of caring in the absence of the owner, that the years to Polish cheap Ryanair and it will be easier for those 100 PLN fly and things settle,, from doctors to see things tudzież, what I also spoiled, ponaprawiać. And that it is a dishonor not. And that this time now, when I sleep, how much does he want, enjoy almost daily on the Greek land of sun, look at the blue sky and the sea, I write because I finally have time, make a normal dinner and fry his chops, the lady in the grocery store that already recognize me and 'last but not least "- to play with the mischievous cat, it is also a "quality time" – time, which as it is also a valuable.

    I take my bike and I move for a few days on the road ventilate your head and think. The January sun but not scorching, but beautifully lit.. Joy!

    Direction - Peloponnese. Although I am not a fan of watching the ancient ruins and so far in the journey they skirted I would like to see theater in Epidaurus, rapid, re-visit undefeated.

    Departure from Athens takes the whole day and loops for good near Corinth. Legendary daughters back there, it is not these days unless. It is, however legendary channel, Corinthian, moreover, is called. Apparently, it already had plans to dig but already Nero was realized in the late nineteenth century. More than 6 km in length, 21 meters wide and 8 meters deep, height of the walls is almost 80 meters separates the Peloponnese from the mainland of Greece - as if it were simply channel, but such a narrow dug a big hole in the ground filled with water impresses me and I go back there kikakrotnie. The edges of the links 6 bridges, and the two extremes are drawbridges - what this means, I completely submerged under water, to pass the vessel. I find myself a seat for the night in a foul Vacancy of the former restaurant. Here a little dirty, this is true, trash heap, but quietly and view great and I did not blow in the evening, at night and in the morning I am accompanied by a performance descent and ascent wooden bridge. They accompany me also three local dogs, not entirely surprised by the presence of foreign, They do not bark, They not growl and wag their tails and carefully revolve around my lair. May they always meet such friendly quadrupeds.

    On the island of Salamina noise fades, blue attacks from the sky and water, rarely appears in people greet.

    12665847_10201508822520280_1379680395_n

    In the evening, I find a seat dream of accommodation on the coast near the church.

    12659634_10201508817520155_989149192_n

    I talk with the local, confirms, no problem, You can sleep. After an hour, however, it is not so rosy - the local guys came of age "that's all I can", quite by chance also sit three meters from the tent as if there was no room elsewhere and let go the music at full volume. Not much later joins the next few, then the evening repertoire also includes a few fancy phrases and proposals translated to date by google translator. They come out of this, unfortunately, quite understandably nonsense. I know, that provoke me, but after 15 minutes of listening to, what they did to me and to the THINKING, that in Japan it would not happen, I leave the tent.

    Society is sinking, is only three bachelors - one adds his breezy cigarette in his teeth, second poking in the cell, third wgapia a deep water depths.

    Hi, that you wanted to sleep with me? Feel free to tent - What to hide, I am furious

    The boy innocently points to the dying in the darkness colleague. I do not know anything, he shouted!

    ok. Hi, Companies! You want me to lick this and that, if I understood correctly? Feel invited to join me! Where are you going? You no longer want?

    Well well. This also never Reflects. Really. I'm so ugly?

    Honestly, not smiling I look for another place in the dark, but I see the light in a room near the church, previously there were none. I'm going. Several elderly people watch TV. Of a village community room.

    Kalispera, good evening. I set up his tent near the church here, I sleep and in the morning go, well?

    Nobody has anything against.

    Only, whether there is safe, you know, These young men over there.. i do not.. me a little offend.

    Wait a second, exchange of words between the generations and the older man taps me on the shoulder - do not be afraid, sleep peacefully, nothing will happen.

    The guys disappear as if he vanished in the fog. Heroes of the Goat Wolka, cholera jasna. Heroes.

    Though I move eagerly towards the Peloponnese but my plans to regulate - what else - a mountain range and rainy weather, but even though I know I need to change route, that I would love to come back and find yourself calmly ride. And now even this less than a week on the road and so I did the right thing.

    Therefore I am, here and now, at the Athenian coastal periphery, Alimos. Sometimes I ride the coast road a few kilometers to Kavouri, where on a green cape earth meets the sky, cars do not howl and the beach this time of year it is empty even though the sun shines more and more.

    12660408_10201508783399302_1102889195_n

    Sometimes I go for a walk on the rocks, a kilometer from the house and look, as Athens greedily devouring every piece of land from the nearby hills, climbing higher and higher. On the other hand, the sea stretches to the horizon. Not only do I like to come here.

    I got to the center several kilometers. It reigns over the district of Plaka Acropolis. I sit on the stairs, tear pieces of fresh bread and a sip of milk. My daily Greek diet is bread and milk.

    I like Greek bread. White, light and certainly less healthy wheat bread with a thick crunchy crust. The saleswoman at the bakery already knows what I like - the most parched, because only such appeals to me brown color. In the standing rice and noodles Asia, where bread actually was probably the most I missed bread. I'm sitting so and tear the bread, I find myself full of indifference looks from passers, even though some were less inert and hit even one smile! I play a guessing nationalities. that's, British group now goes. I bet, with the inhabitants Islands. Crooked caps, bladoróżowa cera, slightly dark circles under his eyes after the madness last night as a odmyślam, and, above all, a T-shirt - which had a temperature of not to in the end Greece so such standards are valid clothes. It's, with a few days ago it was around zero and snowing. The young men come to the pub pat on the back by a tout, but will 30 seconds talks are already very good friends. Best friends ever.

    Couple sitting at a table with Japan. You do not even have to hear the language and know, it was the Japanese. The girl in a fancy hat with a brim ends undulating eat souvlaki or the local shashliks, boy rather high for Japanese, viewing pictures on your camera. This tendency mostly young Japanese women and Chinese women to wear hats is by European standards and quite extravagant fashion, but cool. Unfortunately, with age ladies hats kapelutkami replace - such a small funny thing, without which Japanese does not go to the street. But this girl has a beautiful hat.

    Soon I will be in Poland, maybe in a month will succeed despatch, hard to say. Bicycle and rubbish are in Athens. I will be in several places to break the innate shyness to talk about the places visited - February Warsaw, Wroclaw, Gryfino, March Katowice, Cracow.. may Gdynia – so I came up, for a change. If you want Take a look, listen, Come later – I'll be really nice. O meetings to inform here and the date on fejsbuku - you need to click on the icon next to the (no need to have an account fejsbukowego).

    Where are you, Ewa? What is your next destination? Where are you? Where are you going? asks constantly Aman, fejsbukowy my Hindu friend, so how many of you but still it write, with Greece.

    This is not all about my next destination, mister.

    Next geographic point on the route is not everything, my friend.

Feel like cycling the Italian seacoast? let me till Feel like cycling the Italian seacoast?
Let me take you to Riviera dei Fiori in Liguria - the Ciclabile dei Fiori is pure magic!.
This beautiful 27-kilometer cycle path overlooking the sea was built on an old railway track - it connects San Lorenzo al Mare and Ospedaletti, just by the French border, breathing new life into the historic railway route between Imperia and Ventimiglia.
There’s something incredibly calming about riding along a quiet, peaceful trail, with the sound of the sea on one side and the mountains on the other. No distractions—just you, the open road, and the warm Mediterranean breeze.
It's one of 2 real longer seacoast cycleways in Italy, know the other one?

I would like the world to always look like it does I would like the world to always look like it does after the rain. It would have clear contours and vivid colors, maybe a cloud or two in the blue sky for decoration. A light breeze would cool my face, and my body would not have to pour out excess sweat. But this paradise, when it comes, usually ends around noon, when the clouds, collected from the humidity, slowly gather over the horizon and you are again gasping for air like a fish, sweat is pouring into your underwear. Then it's time to stop for a siesta.

I've spent 1,5 months in northern Italy this year, making loops and coming back.. saw just road bikers and ebike cyclists so my luggage, which as you know is my home, was a reason for some to stop me and chat.

What 's the most beautiful cycling route in Italy? The Lunga via delle Dolomiti – Great Dolomite Trail, without a doubt! 
It is one of the most rewarding two-wheeled crossings of the entire Alpine arc: you pedal surrounded by some of the peaks recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. The itinerary follows the route of the railway built during the First World War and decommissioned in the 60ies. 
Come after the rain for the best views!

The #Valsugana cycle path between #Trentino and Ve The #Valsugana cycle path between #Trentino and Veneto provinces was one of my favorites when cycling Italy this year. I came back there twice. It connects Lake Caldonazzo with Bassano del Grappa - it's mostly separated from traffic, 80 km long ciclovia along Brenta river, which originates right here from the lakes of Levico and Caldonazzo and then flows into the Venice lagoon after 175 km. It has always been an important communication route from the mountains to the sea, the Adriatic, the Via Claudia Augusta Altinate, a place of passage and meeting between the Germanic and Latin peoples. It forms one branch of #viaclaudiaaugusta cycle path. You can get there easily by local train but beware - the path is blocked close to Cismon by fallen rocks and the best way to pass is yes, taking a train. 
Due to great quality you can just speed up but the best is to stop and enjoy the small towns you pass by - like #Bassano del Grappa or #Valstagna. The views in the valley are breathing.

This year I've spent 5 months exploring Italy by b This year I've spent 5 months exploring Italy by bicycle. Not bad, huh? Cycled partly or fully more than 30 routes in most provinces. It's hard to say which one I've enjoyed most.. definitely though the rule that it's the hills or mountains that do the job in the landscape (while you do the job pushing) applies everywhere. It was my first time in the Dolomites and the beauty around was breathtaking. 
While putting together the information from this journey I will be posting now here on Instagram some pictures.. tbc

When I thought nothing can beat Sicily (joke) I'm in When I thought nothing can beat Sicily (joke) I directed my two wheels to the Calabria mountains. I've had it in mind for a long time but attempted with a lot of worry if I manage to cycle (and push through) at least a bit of 545 km Calabria Parks Cycle Route - Calabria Parks Cycle Route that crosses 4 national parks on top of the hills. The reason is - I love nature and silence and even though the coast is spectacular, you share road with many cars. Not my thing at all. 
But The Parks Cycle Path is difficult. Requires lots of effort. More than 12000 metres of climbing but yes, descending too. Oh man!! 
But you know what.. I don't need to be quick. Most days I've cycled like 40 km a day. I've done some detours and completed some 70-80 % of the length - jeez, I don't remember when I pushed that hard. Rewarded with serene forests, plains, meadows, silence though. Great people that are both surprised and happy to see a foreigner in their villages. 
Met very few cyclists but maybe not a season yet. All of them bikepack, I have been the only one (very) fully loaded. Maybe the first Polish cyclist here? 
Today I will (most probably) cycle down to the coast but already planning detouring Inland of Italian boot when following north. That's when authenticity is.

..Want to spend a pleasant relaxing day, enjoying ..Want to spend a pleasant relaxing day, enjoying the peace and beauty that the landscapes of Western Sicily offer? the Marsala cycle path is what you are looking for!..
That's how the typical commercial would start but in this case I would second that. It wasn't even marked on my app (shame mapy.cz) so came with a surprise when I was cycling along the coast from Marsala to Trapani in western Sicily. The Stagnone cycle path is about 8 km long, but as it crosses the evocative landscape of the saline with its windmills, to multicolored tanks and the pretty islands of the Stagnone lagoon is to me one of the most beautiful cycling itineraries in Italy. And in April it was absolutely quiet. If it was a bit later in a year I would add a nice bath in the shallow water of lagoon having tens of flying kite's in view. Go there, especially at sunset!

Guess where was I the previous weekend?!! Yes! Guess where was I the previous weekend?!!  Yes!  - in Bologna, at the CYCLING TOURISM fair, i.e. Fiera del Cicloturismo!

I came there (flew) looking for Italian cycling inspirations, but also the desire to meet people who have a similar passion, take advantage of workshops and lectures.  I was very tempted to come here - for myself, but also for you. I don't know if I told you that I want to spend the next few weeks traveling around Italy to create a knowledge base about bicycle routes in this beautiful country?  So I say 🙃.

By a thousand coincidences I managed to get there and then I got lost seeing the endless options.. I've seen a lot in Italy, I've ridden many routes and beyond, but I didn't expect to see - on paper and virtually - such an offer for two-wheel travel enthusiasts.  Each region has several, a dozen, several dozen bicycle routes, of which I want to select the most important ones.  I also acquired some practical information  that will be useful to Poles.

Companies producing bicycles and organizing trips, as well as representatives of several foreign destinations, unfortunately without Poland, were also present at the fair.  What's more, probably the most important thing - lots of workshops on every topic you need, lectures, prizes - including separate prizes for women. 

See at least a little of it in the photos.  I would love to have a similar event in Poland!
Cycle tourism fair - thank you for a great event.  It was worth it!
My bicycle and luggage was waiting for me near Marsala in Sicily, from where I went to traverse the island, but more about what happened earlier and later in the next episodes - usually on Ewcyna Facebook though.
