EURASIA PEDIBUS CALCANTIBUS gets its 1ST BIRTHDAY!!! The start-date seems only yesterday, so far, yet so near. Emotions are neverending and inexpressible at the same time. Memories fill the pages of a book that only wait a publisher :) Places, people, colours, flavours. I have walked through the present and history, I continue to move towards the future. 6000 kms, from sea level to mountains full of snow, across 9 nations and various, wonderful cultures. I wanted to celebrate crossing another border line: from Turkey, land of hospitality, to Iran, cradle of monotheism. Instead I'm waiting in Erzurum for 15 days because of whimsy of Iranian Bureaucracy read more »

Unfortunately this new way of travelling immediately reveals itself intolerable, so I thought a solution that could have been definitive, at least till the first border. But it wasn't. read more »

EPC - Number 7 - MedalAs the Polo's family during their way back got from Gran Khan a pass, something like a gold passport that save them from danger and give the right to be served from people who should meet them, so I can now boast my pass, me too.

Eurasia Pedibus Calcantibus - Number 5

It's the second time I move by car. Yes, you read well, by car. The first was because of friendship. The scheduled stage was Zalaegerszeg to Felsopahok, 28 km. My esperantist host kaj other Hungarian friends desired come with me that Sunday, so they asked if it was possible. After showing them my plan, they said that on the road I chose is very dangerous walking because of traffic, especially for a group of persons. And there is nothing special to see. So they suggested me drive until Heviz, the place after my scheduled destination, and from there reach, walking on the circular path around the Balaton Lake, Badacsonytodermic. read more »
