Me and Míša have decided to spend almost one month in Summer 2003 traveling around the western-part of Europe and reach the bottom of the continent - Giblartar. Because of that I have bought our travel-machine Yamaha TDM 850 and prepared it for this so long trip.

Planned activities

We want to meet mainly Spanish and Portuguese culture and see what is going on in life of an ordinary people in there. Míša is currently studying Spanish to have a weapon in our future days. Well, we are also going to do something cool in there as usual when we going somewhere. So, the main activities over there would be:

Rock climbing - there are various terrains all around our path not; just in Spain
Windsurfing - there are many places around the Spanish and Portuguese cost to enjoy it.
Surfing - there are many places all around the Portuguese cost to enjoy it.
Hiking - all over our path in all countries we are coming through.

Travel schedule

Our journey begin on Sat, 9.8.2003, at early morning (6am). The first day would have a tight schedule because of long distance to the first stop. The end day of the journey would be Sun, 31.8.2003.

Total distance: 7 343 km
Approximate fule cost: 13 300 kč (EUR 416)
