My mates from Poland joined me in Odessa for a week long ride. After exploring the coast we headed to Moldova to visit Cricova which is also known as The Underground City of Wine. The rest of the episode is from the Carpathian Mountains in Romania, Ukraine and Poland. And at the end I share with you a little story about my little roll down the hill. Don't worry it was months ago and Chillie and I are totally fine :)

What's your name and what are you doing here?
I think you lost. Let me take you.
Hello.
I'm just gonna put him in the bush so he doesn't go on the road.
Okay, buddy. You go here.
Don't go on the road.
Have a good life.
Don't get run over.
It was nice to meet you.
Music
What's going on here?
How is it?
Tasty?
Nalewki from Lviv.
Puk-puk.
Nalewki from Lviv. And now we're talking.
See you.
Music
Greetings to all Poles.
Black sea buffoonery.
There are the stairs.
The famous stairs that I used to climb when I was a kid.
Two of my mates from Poland joined me for a ride.
We don't really have plans.
We're just gonna go with the flow.
And we'll see what happens.
So this is Gonzo. This is Wojtek.
Guys, say hi.
Hi.
Hi for everybody.
How's it going, guys?
Great, isn't it?
Music
Can you handle these parts?
Music
You don't need the sun.
It's nice that you brought your shorts.
Great.
Hi.
Hello.
Yes.
I'm from Australia, but I have a Polish passport.
Music
So we did some shopping in a local store here in the village.
And look what I got.
BMW.
Your best choice.
It's non-alcoholic one, we swear.
No one percent.
One percent.
No one.
Zero point zero.
Music
Ah, this is the life.
Music
What a luxury.
Oh.
Music
I want to jump on the wall.
Music
Finally, I dropped it.
Music
I crashed.
How are we going to get her up?
I was going too fast in the corner.
And I lost control.
And I crashed.
So this is Chillie on the bottom of the river.
I'm fine.
But she doesn't look so good.
No, no, no.
She's alive.
All good.
I think my ribs are a bit sore.
It was a lucky one.
Chillie looks okay.
We can continue riding.
She's got just, you know, a few bits and pieces.
I think just a little bit of windscreen is gone.
Unindicated, but overall she looks pretty good.
So, it was a very lucky one.
And I'm really lucky that I was with Gonzo.
And some locals stopped and helped us out with a quad bike.
So, if it wasn't for them, I don't know.
Probably, I don't know how water would do.
But yeah, we're going to keep going now.
That's Chillie.
We're going to do some straightening.
The car is moving.
The bracket for the speedometer broke.
So, I'm going to put some cable ties through, maybe.
It's stronger.
Better than new.
I'm back to Poland.
Just for one night.
Today I'm in Bieszczady.
I'm saying goodbye to my mates.
And going back to Slovakia and the rest of Europe.
But, we stopped in this great place.
Especially made for motorcyclists.
It's called Bieszczadzka Przystań Motocyklowa.
Plenty of space for camping and other options too.
Well, we're the only one here.
But, we like it a lot.
Looks good.
There's not much fish in my fish can.
Fish.
