With Assad and Aishe we went (by car) across country to #explore...
Marc: why are there everywhere 'mountains' of seashells?
Assad: Long time ago #queshm island was under the surface of the sea and its ground was covered with seashells... Over time, sea level has fluctuated and exposes the island and the ancient sea floor with the shells...
And! The shifting tectonic plates and geological processes, uplifting and erosion etc. transformed the seafloor of shells into hills

sharinggoodmoments, 3 months ago to coffee

Beside chilling and doing a lot of nothing, we drink #coffee, of course 😅

Because soon we will run out of good ground coffee, which isn't available here, we did how Assad told us. We went to the shop next door to buy green beans (~1kg for 4€, robusta from Vietnam). Before Assad roasted the beans in an iron pan, Fiona sorted out all the bad beans, like Cinderella 😅.
What a nice smell during the roasting process! Surprise, surprise the coffee is very tasty!

In the meantime...
sun woke us up somewhere out there, made the first cup of coffee, went for shit-business, prepared breakfast (oatflakes with a fruit like pommegranate or banana, the juice of one lemon, sugar and water), ate, chilled, drank another coffee, chilled, drank more coffee, packed very slowly our stuff... started pedaling... after some km made a break, ate chips or cooked lunch, had coffee... pedaled... on, slowly slowly, another couple of km until we sat up camp and marveled sunset

#cycling the coastal route from Asprovalta to Cape Appolonia, we stumbled upon the most amazing campspot with an incredible 180° panoramic view of the sea. It was the perfect spot to witness both the awe-inspiring #sunset and the breathtaking #sunrise the next morning.

sharinggoodmoments, 6 months ago to climate

Two days cycling along the highway was rather monotonous, but ok. So we could process the experiences of the past days. What caught our attention were the damaged cotton fields. A farmer told us about the massive storm which flooded the entire valley 6 weeks ago. 1,2mio ha. of cotton fields, a important export good to Turkey and Vietnam got destroyed. The garbage hanging from trees and scattered on the bridge railing showed us the immense height the water reached during the storm.

The road through the Osum Valley to the Osum Canyon stretched out. It went endlessly up and again down to the river. We took our time, enjoyed #cycling and the great #landscape around us, drank coffee in small villages, brushed our teeth at a fantastic viewpoint and were amazed when we finally reached the #canyon and saw the massive, gigantic, pillar-like rock walls.

The highplateau that led us to the durmitor national park showed its fascinating beauty at every turn. One of the most beautiful places we have ever seen.

Around midday we both dreamed of eating pommes... In this lost region there is no restaurant, no bar, no supermarket, no kiosk or farmersmarket. We are #cycling past more graveyards (often very old and derelicted, or where they devasted?) than hamlets. And then, Marc shoutet 'patatoes'! Stopped his bike and asked if we should collect some leftover potatoes from the harvested field. So we got our potatoe-lunch with these incredibly tasty 'crumpiri' 🤩!

Still in the mountains, on a high plateau ~1100m, inbetween the peaks Tjeme 1326 and Ivanov Vrh 1389, to mention only two of all these nearby peaks around us...
We do have enough food and we found a drinking water fountain/ natural spring. So we are happy to be in this beautiful wild mountain area!

#OrganicMaps directed us to our next destination (a special lake) via a long and steep climb on the main road.
To avoid this, we followed the hiking route from Fundão via Alto das Piçarrinhas to Penhas da Saúde. This #shortcut was challenging to ride, we had to push our bikes frequently. After a chilly night #camping in a pine forest at an altitude of ~850m, we spent the second day mostly pushing our bikes again. although we enjoyed being alone with nature and listening to the birds singing.
