fun to ride. The road was littered with pot holes. On the way down again riding through small villages I noticed that Mitch was not behind me so I turned around to ride back to him at the side of the road he had stopped as he had lost the bolts holding the front left brake calliper so we were there thinking of the best way to fix it and along come’s a guy on a scooter I showed him a bolt from the other calliper and he takes it and off he ride’s. He returns with a friend
in a car with a handful of bolts and sure enough they fit so the brake calliper was refitted and we are off again. We have a short stop at a petrol station and head off to the border. The weather now is great like a summers evening in the UK. On reaching the border we go through the first check point get a piece of paper and on to the customs check get asked if we have any guns or drugs and things slow down a little as the guy does not speak English He does speak German and so does Mitch so we get the documents checked and get the passports stamped
and we are clear of the Ukraine and off to Slovakia. At the Slovakia side thing are very efficient again papers checked and stamped. A few custom guys asking were we have been and looking at the stickers on the panniers. As it was getting late after crossing the border we have stopped
at the first truck stop.
