This place was just weird. We arrived to no one there, we left to no one there. Well one guy, who would not take our money no matter how hard we tried to give it to him. And then sent us to 3 different places, all 3 where they would not take our money. So in the end we drove away. If you are reading this random camp site, we tired for over 30 minutes to pay you, which is really about 25 minutes and 3 tries too many!

Not Lake Baikhal!

17. Июль [месяц] 2008 | en

Despite telling Patrick every time he said lake Baikal that this place is not Lake Baikal, I kept trying to call it Lake Baikal as well. But this very pretty lake is well worth it as a tourist destination, I just don’t know if I would then stay in the area given the fact it is so pretty that – as in every pretty place – it has to be turned into a plastic tourist haven . Not that I am not a tourist, and I always hate it when tourists complain of something being too touristy, but there is something to be said about nature conservation. I like to think that though I carve a chunk out of the environment just by traveling, everything I do to save enough
money to make that travel possible (like book swapping or going to the library, rescuing friends old furniture rather than buying new stuff, and just not buying new clothes every month) evens the whole thing out.

Either way, we found a pretty corner for our stop. Which was well needed as I was getting hungry, and for the first time the thrill of riding the bike was starting to become overwhelmed by the effort that goes into the actual riding of the bike.

Random Events....

17. Июль [месяц] 2008 | en

are both cool and part of travel. We spent the day driving, and it was HOT. I thought I was going to melt into a puddle in my gear, and it made me very very VERY afraid for Turkey. However despite learning how to drive the bike, (and ahem, dropping it) I am glad I did not give into the temptation to quit my endeavor to achieve a German motorcycle license in a flurry of cursing, dropkicks and throat punches. Rather sticking with it meant that this trip is the first time I really had to work for something I wanted, and what granny says is correct, it DOES make it sweeter.

Anyway, I digress. Randomness is what I wanted to talk about. And random it was. We tried to visit an old Hungarian farmhouse with Hungarian cowboys. Wheee cowboys. But sadly it turned out to be a 3 hour tour, and we were too late for the last one. We did however decide to try and stay with a farmer again, as last time it worked out so well! And did we ever luck out. Our first 2 tries were nos, but our third not only said yes, but it turns out that he is this motorcycle noise maker, he actually travels around to various sports bike stunt shows, and makes noises for the entertainment of the crowd. He even had videos for us to watch. And a horse as a present from one of those stunt guys (because we all have a friend who has given us a horse, a pregnant one at that.)

Go figure…..
