I\u2019ve met the kindest, open, curious, genuine people. My host who didn\u2019t accept money when I decided to stay for an extra night as it was raining a lot and wasn&#8217;t safe to ride. The waitress girl who came back to the restaurant after opening hours to give me back my iPhone that I (being really tired and probably also a bit stupid) had left there. The people at random shops trying to find white spirit for me. The guy on the road giving me thumbs up for the Russian number plate. And many more. Thank you! Moments like these don\u2019t appear on photos, but stay in my heart forever, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/FullSizeRender-16.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-424\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"438\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8850.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-438\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" data-id=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8394-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8394-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8394-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8394-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8394-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8394-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8394-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8394-1170x878.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8820.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-447\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"445\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8340.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-445\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8751.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-432\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"437\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8844.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-437\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"431\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8647.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-431\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8840.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-436\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8920.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-440\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8754.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-433\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8570.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-428\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"429\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8617.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-429\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8929-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-450\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"619\" data-id=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_9078.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_9078.jpg 828w, https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_9078-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alyoka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_9078-768x574.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GoPro footage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf1\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddf0 Part 15.
