Tesla pride

Every respectful #Balkan country hurry to be proud of Nikola# Tesla. Because he is their guy. #Croatia, #Montenegro, #Albania, #Serbia, #Bosnia and even #Macedonia are pretending to own this guy.
What do you think, who have right to name him as "our guy"? Maybe #physics?

Greece, part 2

If you started to travel, it's really hard to stay in one place for a long time - you need to change locations, see something new and feel different emotions. It's like constant war: still, comfort, concentration, dip from one side and easyness, diversity, curiosity, move, communication from other.
So me moved extra grain on mobile bowl of weights and we moved.
To #Patras!
Along the #sea and with 2 stops.
Forest one was near town of #Astakos. Nice small beach under the steep rocky slope. The weather is ☀️ and warm. Small Town is extremely cute. So we had dinner there and some competitions with "Artakos bouldering table" 🧗🐸

Sea at the morning is so welcoming. Travel to #Aitoliko - small town on the island. Lunch there (uh, now we recall how hard it could be to find a place to eat in EU at Sunday). And another competition: try to hit the coffee cup on the top of the road sign with the friend's shoe. Extremely funny but also hard. Need more practice 😅

Looking for the place to stay for the night we went to sea. But it was too stormy and too much wind. So we went other side - to the mountains. After some explorations we found small church on the peak of the 🗻. Very beautiful view, nice place around and... It was hard decision, but we agreed to sleep inside of the church. No wind and warmer... Nice option. We expected some guests at evening or morning, but nobody came. Not much religion left here or just coincidence?

Greece, part 1

We were in hurry to get to #Greece from #Albania. It's not like Albania is bad, but Greece it's Greece - our goal, land of dreams. Sunny and warm...
And the first day started awesome - we picked up 3 #hitchhikers on our way to #Ioannina. They appeared to be #travellers from France and Norway going... who knows where. Around the globe. So, we went into deep conversation about journeys. In Ioannina we split. But one girl, Noemi, stayed with us for some travels. So from now on we are in five.
First night we spent in town with Italian name #Preveza. Actually it was 4 night, but we understood it later. Very cute city near the sea. Old town, ancient ruins of #Nikshich nearby, orange gardens and eucalyptus forests. After accommodation in apartments we moved to seaside and put our camp in eucalyptus groove. Breakfast on the beach, exploring nearby nature and architecture, nights near the fire. That was amazing time.

And dogs. Did of Greece are amazingly friendly. Home or homeless, doesn't matter. They are glad to see you. That's really cool.

Towel problem

If you ever going to open #hotel or make #AirBnB business, please, do one simple but extremely important thing.
Make a #towel driers. According to the number of guests you are planning to have.
Such a simple thing. But nobody have it. And you put those towels anywhere: on chairs, windows, wardrobe doors...
...but...
Do you have then at your home actually?

Moving deeper

Difference between staying on the sea coast and staying 10 km deeper into the land is significant. Sea makes air much wormer and pleasant. And small but constant wind dry the tent from inside. And it still available for swimming 🏊

Sorry about Albania

"Learn Albanian", - they said. Why, if they are l learning Russian. Not now, but in the past, like every country under the pressure of Soviet Union. We saw their old movies - very very soviet, comrade.
It's modern architecture looks pretty Asian with it chaotic strange buildings, street food and shops, and streets in general. But not they much people around and much colder. You can find some land unoccupied by people. And it is pretty beautiful. We've seen black mountains here, in difference with Montenegro. Wild beaches. Misty forests. Hunting for the nature beauties here is very profitable. And cities... Well, they are pretty cheap. And it's good if you want to stay or refill supply's. The only expensive things around is gasoline.
By the way local drive mostly Mercedes. They work in Italy pretty often and probably concert their money into that. If so, it's long to wait Albania to become rich and prosper. But who needs it, right. 😒

Short about Montenegro

When you go away from there seacoast in Montenegro you start to feel spirit of Ukraine. Roads are not Ukrainian. And other infrastructure looks better. But in other meanings...
Car parking, garbage stocking, people's dress, store of houses.
Look at Nikšić. It is very similar to Zhytomyr. Maybe little better in average, cleaner, less noisy... But the spirit is there same. You feel Zgitomyrness everywhere.
Podgorica, the capital. But it still looks like Ukrainian province city: huge one store buildings area and center with shopping streets and casinos (but here - legal). Kinda depressing commute between bad village and shopping mall. No other fun. Only hipster and artist points from time to time bring some light to this sad daily trip.
Montenegrian nature? Cool.
Town on the shore? Beautiful.
But other still need a lot of work to be pretty.
