Hi all!
..here is Vas Themelidis blogging about the trip that started today from the port of Piraeus having the port of Aqaba in Jordan as its terminal point.
Posting photos, videos and texts on this traveling log aims to share these traveling experiences with friends and contribute traveling intelligence on the semantic web. The goal for the trip itself is to see first hand some of the most troubled and powerful lands of the Mediterranean basin.
Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan have been the crossroads of all South European, Middle East and ancient Asian empires having left their permanent marks on the lands and the people. Antiquity is still unravaged by time, and the people (almost) unspoilt by modern life.
Back to the gear..
Japanese engineering and Italian workmanship have created the Transalp XL650V this robust and versatile motorbike will carry baggage and tripping ambitions.
The moto was serviced by Panayiotis Georgousis one of the best Service shops for Honda motos in Athens.
