Not sure what this is, cool building.
We’ve seen lots of cows but this is the first with jewelry.
Ferry map of the Maharashtra coast. Lots of ferries, not a lot of bridges.
Another cool old building.
I’m really enjoying following your adventures. I love the detailed descriptions and photos. You are putting forth a lot of effort for your followers benefit.
I hope you don’t mind me asking questions every once in awhile. When you started in Lisbon, did you look for dedicated bike routes, or well-known bicycle routes with little traffic? Or did you just hit the road in the direction you wanted to go. I noticed that you followed the coast. Wondering why?
Thanks again.
As I said in reply to your YouTube comment, we followed the coast in Portugal because of the weather. In March, it was too cold for us with our warm-weather gear to go too far inland. As for route, Strava heatmaps is great for seeing where other cyclists ride, and crazyguyonabike.com has good blogs with route suggestions. I sometimes do a lot of reading and research and other times we just set out on the road and find a camp spot or hotel when we get tired.
If you will please. The Schengen visa is good for 90 days out of every 6 month period. So, did you ride through the Schengen visa countries for 90 days, then ride though the non-Schengen visa countries for the rest of the 6 months before renewing? I’m a little confused. Thank you!
Yes that’s right. I talk about this in the blog in places. When we left Slovenia, we left Schengen and waited for Schengen to reset before going to Greece.
