I'm Bidi
I'm male, well over 50 and laughably unfit.
I've given away everything and traded home for a tent to cycle-tour the world.

Yesterday the town of #Myrina, on the #Greek island of #Lemnos, was cold and grey. I could see the fortress behind the hotel, but it didn't look inviting in the rain.

Today I woke to a big blue sky and the fortress did look inviting. I climbed up to explore.

Before and after.

Even I thought I was looking scruffy.

Maybe it's time I did something with that hair... 🙃

58 years old and I still get a thrill, and a goofy grin, when boarding a ferry!

Cats everywhere, all over #Thessaloniki. And they're more than just tolerated - the Greek's seem to love them.

That's me in #Thessaloniki, #Greece. With #Aristotle.

I'm a happy-chappy today, thanks to Chris at Vintage Bicycle Workshop in #Thessaloniki, #Greece.
He checked the spoke tension and re-trued the two problem wheels on the #HoboBidiTrike. He also helped me understand why there's spoke noise from the front wheels - he's not a fan of black (painted) spokes!

While the wheel was off I even managed to replace the rear disc brake pads which had recently worn out.

So the #HoboBidiTrike is all set for another twelve months of trouble-free cruising. 🙃

A couple of days ago I stopped for a night at @popovakulawinery.

I visited nearby #Stobi, an important #Roman archeology site here in #Macedonia, before continuing on to Demir Kapija and the winery.

I'd seen it a few days before while searching online for a place to stop. I've never stayed at a winery before, the pictures looked spectacular and I managed to get a discounted price for a night. I deserved a treat.

Cycled up the hill behind the village, up amongst the grape vines to the hotel and it didn't disappoint. It looked across at dark mountains and down to the valley below.

I replaced another broken rear spoke - that's the fourth - before having a shower and doing my daily #HoboLaundry underfoot in the shower tray. Then a beer in the first floor restaurant to take in the view.

In the evening I had a fish meal and sampled some of their wines in the restaurant.

Captured the mist rolling down the valley in the morning.

I'm not in Greece yet. I'm in Star Dojran, #Macedonia, beside Lake Dojran.

The Greek border is a couple of km further south, but I feel like I'm already there.

Look - they put this advert up just for me. Aah bless!

Some of the monuments in #Nis #Serbia are a bit graphic
