  • You made me reconsider my route! Thanks

    I looked online and I will follow Camino del Cid to Valencia. If everything goes to plan I will be there in about a week.

    Unfortunately I didn’t see much of Madrid, was really jet lagged and tired so I slept through yesterday. Today I walked all day through the city and visited the flee markets and had more of a chill walk more than like exploring and getting to know the city.

    Unfortunately I am more interested in little bit forgotten/undiscovered places, so Madrid is too crowded to my liking. But I will have to return here sometime to explore it better, right now I am in such mood that I just want to get out.





  • Few months ago I lost my job (don’t pity me it is ok), decided that it doesn’t make sense to look for another, roughly planned half year trip and tomorrow I am leaving.

    So I am nervous of air travel, tomorrow I leave at 3 am, I can’t sleep well and can’t eat much because of my nerves.

    Yesterday I had beer with my friends that I won’t see for a long time, I said goodbye to my relatives and now I try to distract myself from thinking about it that much.

    Yeah my week is going exactly as I imagined it would go when I started planning.


  • Yeah politic is messed right now in Hungary and Slovakia in this regard. But I don’t think that it sets general feelings towards lgbtq. As a tourist you should be fine, I had really weird encounters in really rural area in Romania but never felt like I was in danger. Just to be safe I would put the rainbow flag down but that’s all, lots of people are progressive, even in those countries, and assholes are everywhere.

    Hit me up if you will ride through Czech Republic, I am not active much on this account so - @plactagonic@sopuli.xyz (my second lemmy account); @plactagonic@f.cz (mastodon)


  • I started with it because I couldn’t get anything decent from store. Now I can get some really good cider from small makers.

    For most people it is love/hate, it is really simple and completely dry, it isn’t for everyone. I really like it and now we started to experiment with it more so maybe more interesting brews are coming (I hope that I will make at least one more batch this year).


  • Take it then through central Europe. CZ and SK take some routing skills but it is really nice to bike here, don’t worry about Austria the bike infrastructure is top quality. Hungary is good too but it is really boring (too flat). Don’t trust that Romania and Bulgaria are backwards in this regard, it is doable (I would say it is bit worse than CZ and SK).

    I wasn’t in all countries I mentioned some of it is from friends who were there. Maybe mention it in bikepacking/touring community (it is on lemmy.world so you will need another account) someone will give you more hands on advice.







  • So I needed new bike rear rack and before I checked out I searched what can I add to have free shipping/postage.

    So as grown up, reasonable man I would like to announce that from today I am proud owner of unicycle.

    It will be some time before I get hang of it but my family with words of courage like “it will be fing awesome" or “buy it, it will be fun to have” or " everyone has to buy some stupid st sometimes” make me believe that I will learn it.

    Otherwise nothing new.
