We woke up around 6 am. My boy was still
sleeping and I hoped he would wake up before we leave so I could hug and kiss
him a million times, at least! I was very excited and could not wait to get on
the motorcycle! We made last checks concerning the luggage, had breakfast while
hugging my boy, and we left the apartment. I did not feel sad for leaving him,
I knew my mother will take good care of him and they will have an awesome time
together. He adores her and she wants to be with him all the time so it is a
good combination.
We took the car and went to our apartment’s garage
(the one that is rented now). The bike was waiting for us so we quickly put on
our motorcycle gear, put the luggage on the bike and left to Serbia. I have not
shared this with you but I am from Bulgaria. Therefore, we left Sofia, Bulgaria
to go to a gas station near Parachin, Serbia, where we met the others from the
group. Our group is from six men and me. Most of them are around my parent’s
age. They are not that old J, what impressed me was that they were very
organized and in a great mood. I was a bit worried but they all were very kind
with me with a great sense of humor. It was only the first day with them and I
almost cried a several times from laughter.
Back to Parachin, Serbia. Veni (my boyfriend)
and I went there an hour earlier. I sat down with my book and had a coffee, it
felt awesome. The views from the bike in Serbia were very nice, green with so many
trees. I was impressed that there were many acacia trees.
The other part of our group came around noon
and we spent half an hour chatting before leaving on our way. The plan was to
reach Slavonski brod, Croatia in the same day. The weather was good for a bike
ride. I have forgotten how great the feeling is, I felt somehow free and happy,
almost flying with the wind. In the morning when we left, it was a bit cold but
it was refreshing and it made me feel alive. During the day, the weather got
warmer and it felt even better.
In the afternoon, we were driving in Croatia.
Everywhere I could see green landscapes, even being on the motorway, I felt so
close to nature, enjoying every moment of this adventure. Around 7 pm and a few
coffee breaks on the way, we were in Slavonski brod. The place we stayed in was
amazing – a huge apartment with 3 bedrooms, it was modern and cosy, the owner
is a wonderful woman with a nice smile. The bathroom was only one and the group
insisted I take the first shower, a shower after a whole day on the bike is
like being reborn.
One of the guys found a good restaurant online with
a high rating and it was near our place. We went to have dinner there and it
was so cute! The whole city has this interesting architecture and they clearly
are proud of it because they maintain it and just make small improvements. This
restaurant was in such small house, I felt in love with it right away. The
atmosphere was amazing, you feel at home but a fancy one. Our waitress had a
lovely smile and a great sense of humor. The food was so delicious everything
was amazing! We tried the local beer, which I found a bit sweet but not very carbonated,
so it was nice. I forgot to take a picture of the food! We were so hungry that
the moment the food came we attacked it immediately. Lots of laugh and beers
later, we went to the apartment to take some rest. The bed I slept on was so comfortable;
I slept like a baby (a calm and happy one).
