MAKEDONIA,KOSOVO,SERBIA,CROATIA AND AUSTRIA

After Greece we ride to Makedonia .Makedonian custom officer stop me and ask how much I have marijuana?I said I dont have anything,then he ask me to open saddle bags and start to check out.
Nothing found ,but officer said to me stay here.Then he walk to his office and stay there 1/2 hour.
After that he come back to me and ask why I am still here?I said that because you say so,then
he said ok,you can go now!Sometimes I just dont understand these custom officers.
In Makedonia our green cards didnt work.We needed buy insurance for our motorcycles from boderline.10 Eur 15 days.Roads are very slippery there.After boderline we just ride throu Makedonia to Pristina,Kosovo.We found small hostel Istanbul,which was very nice,just walking distance from
centrum.Double room cost 20Eur.Man who own the hotel was really nice,he make us food,let us park
our bikes behind hotel ,where was pool and bar.He tells a lot about history of Balkan countries.
We did have charcing problem at Pers motorcycle and hotel owener calls some people who are working at local motorcycle shop.They come to pick us up from hotel and we ride with them to their garage.We did have one extra complete charging kit with us.These friends help us to repair it.
After that they say that we can ride with you to hotel and we can drink something.They said
that they cant drink alcohol because they are muslims but if you like to drink beer it is ok with us.
So we go back to hotel sit down ,they drink coffee and we drink beer.We watch pictures from our
cell phones and talk about motorcycles.These men also ride motocross and make stunt tricks with their street bikes.very nice people.Thanks Ali,Zgjim,Berat and Gervalla.It was good to meet you.
In Pristina I like very much people who live there,very polite and friendly.They have 4 different religion there catholic ,muslims etc. and they can live there side by side without problems.
It is  paprika season there,every marketing place, you can see lot of paprikas and chilies.
After Pristina ,Kosovo we ride to Croatia ,take road side hotel and next morning we start very early
and ride to Wien ,Austria.40 km before Wien my motor start to make terrible noise.
We stop at shell gas station and I understand that my motor is badly broken now.We were camping outside of gas station in our tents.We put our facebook site if someone knows any transpotation from wien to Sundsvall ,Sweden.After few minutes our friend Jamppe informed that there is one man from
Finland ,Ahti Isometsä coming to Austria with his van.I moved my bike to Fischer`s Harley Davidson ,Wien.
Fischer`s Harley Davidson is big Company,they also have american restaurant.Very good food there.
All the people very nice there,we recommend,visit there if you are in Wien.We did have few extra days before Ahti come and pick me up so we decide to take hotel from centrum.
Wien is very nice town I liked very much.Good food,wiener schnizel,saussages etc.We visited also war museum and crime museum and we take turist bus and ride around the city.Also we ride with tram.This is about it now.I am writing this in Wien now.Tommorow I take my motorcycle to Sundsvall,Sweden.Take a motor away and ask if someone can repair it.When bikes are ready,then we send them to south-america.This is the way it is now,stay strong.ANA and PER

GREECE

After Turkey we take ferry from Chesme,Turkey to Chios Greece.Chios is small island just 50 minutes ferry trip from Turkey.We found very nice small hotell there and spend two nights there.
Owener let us repair motorcycles outside of hotel at street.We were there two days because it was impossible to have ferry tickets from Chios to Patras.Reason was that in Chios everyday comes migrants from Syria like 300-1000 with their small boats.Two weeks ago there was no migrants at all.It is not so nice to see.Most of these people need help.Old sick people,babys are crying because they are hungry.They carry all what they own.Not so good hygienia.There was also people from Syria living in fancy hotels and before that they have already live in Turkey like two years but
now they want to come to north Europe because of better living.The day we left Chios,police
ask us to move our bikes some where else because there was some kind of religion meeting
next hotel from ours.We see when priests start to come to their hotel,lot of police and security men was there too.In the evening our ferry leave Chios around 23.00.When we ride to ferry we see lot of these migrants from Syria.The ferry was more than full booked.We sleep at sleeping bags at deck.
We also meet one couple from Italy,Genny and Francesco.Francesco also come back from Iran and Armenia with his motorcycle.Genny fly from Italy to Turkey and Francesco pick her up from airport and they ride together back to Italy.It was good to meet you!After ferry trip we ride 400km from Patras to Agiannis,it is small village and there was nice hotel/camping area near the beach.
Hotel room for 2 people costs 25 Eur,not bad.We where only 3 nights at Greece ,not so much to tell about it.Keep in touch!ANA and PER
