Bike Tour 2009 - The Empire Tour - SE Europe

a trip by Barry Kaiser

From: October 3rd 2009

Until: October 25th 2009

After six months of negotiation, Shauna I decided on doing a cycling tour from Istanbul to Sofia through Northern Greece. As she likes to tell everyone, she has never been to Europe, but she has been to Lome, Togo. Shauna's mother's family is also from Greece, so this will be a bit of a homecoming for her.
