Hey man! I bought a car. In Germany. I need to drive it to Greece. You wanna join?

Sure. Lets drive from Bratislava to Athens. But I only have three days. Than I need to flight back to Shanghai.

No problem, we can make it!

Thats how it all started.

It is only 1673 kilometers. And 17 hours. We can make it in three days. We will drive all the way to the Belgrade, there we can make a stop. After a good sleep we go on.

There was no stop in Belgrade. And there was no sleep. And there was an extra day in Athens. And there was no sleep.

Story of a journey, journey to tell the story

We are on our way. And the beginning is spectacular. We are full of energy (and redbull/coffee).

Everything is just so beautiful! The country, surroundings, sunset, road…

The journey!

Got to love the views
got to love the road

First twelve hours were just amazingly vivid and saturated!

After that…

We have no Redbull.

We are out of European union. We are being checked when crossing the border. We have no food, just junk food. We had no sleep for too many hours. No sleep at all. Everything starts to fade. But still amazing.

We are super tired but country is still amazing. We don't care that there is no time to stop.To see it all through a window is enough.

…it is all fading away

Man I am TIRED! We should have some SLEEP…

No! We can make it! Lets make it with no sleep at all!

But everything is starting to look trippy. The road is dancing. Car is dancing. Man, you are dancing!

Nothing is dancing… you are tired! Have a nap. I will play you Busta Rhymes for a good night sleep…

I am trippy!!!!

Sleep helped…

I world is not that groovy anymore. but 30+ hours without sleep... Just a small nap while playing Busta Rhymes playlist.

So no sleep really

World is fading away... Even the sunset is fading… All greenish…

Lets buy some more junk food and coffee. That will help.

He is the one responsible
And thats me
Are we in a Ryan Gosling movie?

Greece! Finally! We are here. Car is parked, we had a beer, we had some food, we saw a sunset. Colors of the world are not back yet, but they are starting to come back.

No need to sit in a car anymore!!!

After 40+ hours

Niiiice

(and no Busta Rhymes during s sleep)

Ocean is the best reward

We slept!

After a good sleep the world has its colors BACK! What a feeling… We just loooove to have some sleep.

Got to love the colors. Finally back

Not time to waste. Mission was simple. Bring the car to Athens. Done. Lets go to Shanghai.

Athens see you next time. By plane, no by car anymore.
