    Birthday of a King

    by Ewcyna 14 December 2014

    Do you love the King?

    Woman in yellow blouse standing in front of me and inquiring glance shyly hands me a candle.

    Zdębiałam. Speechless, but you had to wake up and react somehow.. Thus, rather hesitantly reply Tak.. . Any other answer seemed to me to be naughty. It is evening and the square in front of a Buddhist temple (that is what) in a small village, the name of which I do not even met the entire local community. 5 December and is a national holiday in Thailand. It's the birthday of the King.

    His Height Rama IX is a beloved king of Thais. Refit, he just ends 87 years in portraits is invariably portrayed as - just in the eye – forties. There is no institution, no town, there is no village without its image. Yellow pedestal decorated with flags and flowers – I pass them every day dozens. Yellow is the color of the reigning monarch for many years and it is in his honor on this day the majority of Thai people wear the yellow shirt.

    The woman is giving me a candle in a series we together with the villagers before the portrait of the royal couple. Songs sound, and in the distance you can see the fireworks shooting. After finishing the ceremony several people come to me giving hand and thanking. In the language of the old Polish feel anything confusedly, but also honored. There is nothing to show, These people love the monarch and pray, to live as long as possible. .

    When you get to spend a few days Bangkok to acclimatize without air conditioning, without exploring and turning the guitar similar things - I live there 15-20 km from the center and even though I have the ambition to get there it's driven 10 giving up. Someone can guess why?

    After a week of time at the end to move four points and move them where they belong - on the saddle. Direction – Cambodia along the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand or Thailand.

    On the way I'm doing pretty well. Co and bredzę – I'm doing very well! Fantastic! Absolutely perfect! In the end, once mastered these steps will not forget – year (yes, yes, year!) practicing the movement of the Asian highway. You only need to shake off the lethargy after the Korean-track wilderness. Driving on electricity - please. Slalom between vehicles - simple. Across the highway through the firewall? - A breeze. I set at the traffic lights on the front along with the rest dwuśladów. My face does not express any emotion, is absolutely indifferent (or so I think) - Lights up green, I push on the pedals, I'm heading ignoring the puzzled looks at poniektórych. Not evasive wild herd Stars, trailors vehicles containing more or less identified, obwieszonych to niemożliwości good wszelakim. But why did they all go at me?! Disease, Yet here I drive on the left and I press on the right.. apologetic smile, nod in thanks and already I move to the other side of the street. Nobody here for such things do not annoy, not be nervous, not pelt mud and insults (k..a as you go? - You know that the Polish can?). The philosophy of "take it easy" promotes life, I knew how I finally have it more I learn, however, because something goes poorly.

    Departure from Bangkok as it traveled with each multi-million city - you have to have badly arranged in the head, It would opt. Therefore, I have uneven ceiling and all I recommend the train trip and entry. Let there be no – I was also warned! For the first tens of kilometers there is no where to return, There is only one main road – I put earplugs, pedaling like a robot to reach the third day near the seaside town of Pattaya, where visitors me warmshower Rene. Reaches here too a couple of bicycle traveler from France, who are going in the opposite direction.

    Pattaya, Pattaya.. Such a pretty name of the town, However, visitors to Thailand is associated uniquely - is the largest center of sex tourism in the country.

    Do you want to see the "working street"? – asks Rene.

    No in total.. Not that I do rajcowało, but as I'm here.. We're going.

    After five, maybe ten minutes, I've had enough. It does not matter what gender you are under the nose shove by touts pricing bored with unique photographs or drawings of services - so there was no doubt what you pay for. Even I have to admit I was a little shocked. Watching women working here. I do not judge, I look at. Impassive, mostly bored faces and little energetic movements, which are intended to be dancing with the pipe rather not encourage me to join the "club" – but, but it is only 22ga, and I'm a woman. Certainly after midnight żwawiej gets here after a few drinks and a interesting. On the streets of the Russian language dominates. I was, I saw - passed. Points migrate to Amsterdam and the local red-light district - there I even quite liked.

    At the end of the road forks, and I can go lower, leading along the beaches. It is quietly, idyllic-magically, and although you can see quite a few "farangów" that foreigners are rather empty beaches and shaded road. Finding accommodation in Thailand is now more of a challenge for me - there would, of course, because guesthousów and hotels here in droves, but it is not supertanio. I sleep twice in watt, or Thai temple. Generally a great thing, because monks are doing rather nei problem with the provision of space, the problem lies elsewhere - as in the whole of Thailand so it should be no place for humans and animals. Dogs, cats.. lie and crawl everywhere. It seems - nothing, only to learn how to maneuver between them and watch the feet.. Where there! Laba ends when the distance between the tent. About 22 nd rozszczekują dogs. As soon cease to try to move nei, to me not heard. Then somehow become active around midnight cats. It is not nice “meow” just tearing snout and wailing souls of the damned! Zero reaction to pat his leg or other forms ouster - let "toto" goes and yells while 50 meter further, and he nothing, puzzled stares and further tears fuck. Fortunately, after some time calms Menagerie, but I think for every move in a tent which would again not "rozgadały".

    There is also a menagerie, which is less tears snout and faster moves from acts. Accidentally get to the coastal national park - located away from the road, small creek with a belt spotlessly clean, empty beach lined with coconut palms - a paradise Mr., I found paradise! Splash all day and in the evening do not get hung guitar laying out the tent just lie down to sleep in the shelter. Yes I like it here, I'm going pobyczyć of the day, two or maybe three?

    He gets a beautiful morning, drag and .. and I think, or something like that shed lint? Something is walking? Leaps? But I have not seen the dogs. I do not! Monkeys! Tapping his foot and these nothing. Run up toward them - cramp - prychają, attack and not think to escape! There are so many.. And I've got everything I like and porozwalane rozgrzebane, pulled out of the panniers - as I. I do not need coffee to wake up immediately – I throw everything in the panniers as flies, any faster because these beasts have to catch this or that. Empty bottle and my short pants – Let them choke. Fortunately, relief comes in the form of a park ranger who misses something there, and I feel stupid. Mindless tourist I think - I. Look and admire! And while staying in place two days every day I pack everything into the panniers and bike carefully cought and take with you. Monkeys are cunning creatures - come up close, walk under the legs, but the guard shows, that they can not drive away the leg, enraged because they can bite, may be the option to chase away the stone should be. I'm running as soon as possible after the stones – I do not have scared, What can I say, these monkeys.

    Well, it looks like, that is so far not get mad with the heat obezwładnającego – But more significantly colder than in March, when my brain August lasował. This cooler is slightly above 30 degrees, am even a little I cover, but generally impossible to sleep and drive.

    Reservoir Cats, rabid monkeys, wildly beautiful beaches and furiously good food and furiously cool temperature. Thailand is a paradise furious. Something I feel, of how it will come to the islands only get mad with happiness.

    ps. Anne of portal invasion recently asked me a few questions about travel – You can read the interview here.

    ps. 2 – I do not know where I'll be at Christmas and New Year. All indications are, Cambodia and that it would be a day like every day, although I will try to find a Catholic church, what's very difficult. I was looking for missionaries also, but somehow no result.

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.
