3 days, 4 countries, lots of fun
The Caucasian Chalenge 2010 flawlessly started on Saturday morning… well, as usual not for everyone. First of all, British participants Team Willcox could not make it to the start as a couple of days after they started from the UK their car started to misbehave and was running n 9 mpg (around 32 liters/100km) and […]
Continue ReadingJust a couple of hours and we start again…
It’s almost 11 but I still haven’t packed anything for the trip… so much left to do for the last day even though I thought we finished almost everything by the middle of the week. And I need a haircut – badly. I’ll probably do it somewhere in Albania or Greece or Turkey, just like […]

Mountain ride across Georgia
I decided to do the Batumi-Kutaisi stage from the other way round as this way I could save some time and since I lost 2 days in Tbilisi time was really an issue. The road between Kutaisi and Abastumani (an ex-soviet mountain resort or rather sanatorium area in the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park) is winding through […]

Stalin removed from his position!
I got interesting news from Szabolcs while in Georgia: Stalin`s monumental statue has been removed. I though it was a joke as I`ve been there 2 days before and it was there. But later on I`ve read the news elsewhere too… Funny how they completed the operation, it was all secret, overnight, as they didn`t […]

Bouncing between Georgia and Armenia
This is my sixth time in Georgia but the first time I arrived here without a car. My flight arived to Tbilisi at a convenient 3:20 AM so I was pretty tired by the time I left the terminal. Surprisingly, the man with the car was not waiting for me as agreed before, but after […]

“Serbia’s Jerusalem”
This is how Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic phrased their situation implying on Kosovo’s status for Serbian people. “Kosovo has a deep historical and spiritual meaning for the Serbian people, it is, in a way, our Jerusalem. We cannot accept unilateral conclusions by those governing in Pristina,” he said. Well, this is a good example […]

Arrived to Turkey
I had to wait another day for the part as our Pajero had a stronger spring and a longer shock absorber than the standard so they didn’t have it on stock, but they get it by next morning. And the part was half price than back in Hungary, I wonder why… Anyhow, since I had […]

From the Albanian mountains to the Greek beaches
Kalispera! (meaning “good evening” I guess) I finished the blog in Peja. I wanted to wake up early and finish at least the half of the next rally stage and get somewhere around Peshkopi. When I was in Albania for the first time I was a bit worried… the image of the country is not […]

Kosovo and Albania – two countries, one nation
Tungjatjeta! (Meaning “Hello” in Albanian, but the pronunciation… huh, we always struggle with this language…) This day was shorter than yesterday but it was equally interesting. We agreed on all the details with the owner of the hotel in Ivanjica, also tested the restaurant which turned out to be excellent. I travel with 2 chefs […]
