Rolled through former Yugoslavia. It took three days to make the run from Bucharest to Sarajevo. I spent one night in the capital City of Sofia, and another in the a small town in Serbia. Bulgaria and two-thirds of Serbia, although plush and green, are not that interesting, and if I were flying a plane, as opposed to Greta, I would have flown over them. The western third of Serbia marks the start of the Zlatabor mountain range which transitions into the Bjelašnica in Bosnia, and the beginning of fun. This run, the M5, caught me by surprise, it is one of the best I have had the pleasure to experience, and definitely the best I have rode in Eastern or Western Europe.

Along the route, I came across a Canadian solo rider, first one I have run into from North America. Nice guy. We had lunch, discussed routes, and went our ways.
