  • how's your week going, Beehaw

    Jump

  • I didn't mentioned it but I am bikepacking. So it would take me at least week to get there. I will be in Madrid till Monday and then I will go, I need to get some stuff sorted out before I start properly.

    Best kind of travel is getting "lost" and wandering around places no "normal" tourist would go.

  • Ok I didn't slept since 6am yesterday, passed all checks (maybe) and bought duty free beer. It goes better than I thought, weird how the mind tricks you.

  • Madrid and then I will decide. I wanted to go to Valencia but it is still rough there after the flooding last year. Probably Gibraltar will be the rough next stop.

  • Few months ago I lost my job (don't pity me it is ok), decided that it doesn't make sense to look for another, roughly planned half year trip and tomorrow I am leaving.

    So I am nervous of air travel, tomorrow I leave at 3 am, I can't sleep well and can't eat much because of my nerves.

    Yesterday I had beer with my friends that I won't see for a long time, I said goodbye to my relatives and now I try to distract myself from thinking about it that much.

    Yeah my week is going exactly as I imagined it would go when I started planning.

  • Yeah politic is messed right now in Hungary and Slovakia in this regard. But I don't think that it sets general feelings towards lgbtq. As a tourist you should be fine, I had really weird encounters in really rural area in Romania but never felt like I was in danger. Just to be safe I would put the rainbow flag down but that's all, lots of people are progressive, even in those countries, and assholes are everywhere.

    Hit me up if you will ride through Czech Republic, I am not active much on this account so - @plactagonic@sopuli.xyz (my second lemmy account); @plactagonic@f.cz (mastodon)

  • I started with it because I couldn't get anything decent from store. Now I can get some really good cider from small makers.

    For most people it is love/hate, it is really simple and completely dry, it isn't for everyone. I really like it and now we started to experiment with it more so maybe more interesting brews are coming (I hope that I will make at least one more batch this year).

  • Take it then through central Europe. CZ and SK take some routing skills but it is really nice to bike here, don't worry about Austria the bike infrastructure is top quality. Hungary is good too but it is really boring (too flat). Don't trust that Romania and Bulgaria are backwards in this regard, it is doable (I would say it is bit worse than CZ and SK).

    I wasn't in all countries I mentioned some of it is from friends who were there. Maybe mention it in bikepacking/touring community (it is on lemmy.world so you will need another account) someone will give you more hands on advice.

  • Finally after 2 years making cider. Last year there wasn't any apples left on trees (I don't know if they froze or what happened, it was bad year). So it is bit hectic, runs between home, "juicery", brew shop and my friend home where it stays. I was bit worried my reserves started to run dry and I have 1 archive bottle left. Trying adding hops and spices, more info here.

  • Update 2: vaulted root cellar

    Jump

  • I live in wine making region, so there are loads of these. Usually with house attached to it for wine making equipment.

    When I want some wine I just go to the street with cellars, chose open one, ask and get some wine.

    If it isn't obvious I work in brewery lol.

  • For now I have all teeth and no broken bones.

    About difficulty of learning it, it is little bit harder than in-line skates. So I may learn it in few days/weeks.

    Key is learn to lean in it and don't catch it when you are falling.

  • So I needed new bike rear rack and before I checked out I searched what can I add to have free shipping/postage.

    So as grown up, reasonable man I would like to announce that from today I am proud owner of unicycle.

    It will be some time before I get hang of it but my family with words of courage like "it will be fing awesome" or "buy it, it will be fun to have" or " everyone has to buy some stupid st sometimes" make me believe that I will learn it.

    Otherwise nothing new.

  • This weekend I was on my first (this year) multi day bike trip. Let's just say that I am super tired after these 275 km this weekend. But it was amazing maybe next weekend i will do something similar if weather permits.
