My põnczek is carmel and salt. Like a rich aristocrat would order.

35 euros for a small bottle. We’re not in Bulgaria anymore.

Thankfully I’ve yet to see one stay animal.

An old communist era remedy is to line the stomach to get it ready for the next immenent meal.

This place is completely packed. I’ve had to share tables almost everywhere I’ve eaten so far WHICH IS SOMETHING I LOVE DOING.

But. Seriously. It’s fucking expensive here. You can easily spend 100+ Euros for a one person dinner.

We’re not in fantasy world anymore (Bulgaria)

Ohhh for fuck sakes……this is soooo tasty.

It was as if someone actually made decent pho, added 100% more water and 3kg of cheap noodles..

The beef was super tasty.

No chopsticks.

No hoisin.

No hope.

Ohh and 10 fucking DOLLARS.

Should have gotten a proper kubek instead..

Apparently this is the 7th most luxurious hotel in all of Poland.

Welcome to the motherland, welcome to Krakow….

…which is actually rate now (I yelled at him, of course and he threw it out the window Bulgaria style).

At least he picked me up on the main road and I didn’t have to go to bus station.

Leaving some very miserable weather….but it’s still relatively warm.

The nice and polite people sent me A WHOLE NEW ASSEMBLY…..I understand their margins are massive…but.

I bought it on Amazon – bitched there, they refunded.

Emailed iSHOXS and super nicely asked to just just just for the tiny screw, they happily said of course AND FUCKING REFUNDED ME FOR SOME FUCKING REASON (they have a connection with Amazon..and it’s all automatic).

AND ON TOP OF IT ALL…they send me a whole new assembly thing (not just screw).

Amazing service….(but also, these mounts are super high quality…this isn’t shit you get at your local SAAN).

Now think to yourself…..why did I just read this nonsense?

Concrete/paint-man is back exactly a day before my departure…this project will take many days, many layers…..thankfully I will be only watching the progress on my cat-cameras. Pheeewwwww.

So, the rear fender on my amazing scooter would sometimes squeal like a toddler stuck in an elevator door and I’ve tried to troubleshoot it for weeks…..I finally found the problem. Super teeny tiny hex screw deep inside was a little loose, possibly since factory. All good now….I’m so happy.

But remember, if you have a motorcycle. a bicycle or a scooter, it’s always a good idea to go over all the nuts and bolts a few times a year.

Also, car tire nuts. Check that a few times a year, too….and air, of course.

Going from super nice beach weather to essentially middle of winter. Super sad about that…apparently it will be 5 degrees in Krakow. That’s literally…unlivable..people dying….blood collagulating…..skin crackling like an old bag of saltines.

The road is getting widened + scooter paths, new sidewalks, LED lighting, new shops and restaurants…..THIS PLACE HAS GONE FUCKING INSANE.
