Silk Road cycling video (2012)

This is a short video overview of cycling the Silk Road with 6 gears mamachari city bikes, from Japan to Greece.

Didn't have in mind to make a video feature back then so most of the -hard- times when we were cycling I didn't shoot any videos (a few photos though), at least I was shooting short handheld clips here and there and managed to make this one. Will be making a few more story-style more specific videos about this trip in the future. In this cycling trip we passed through Japan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Greece.
Majestic landscapes, amazing people, weird food and interesting cultures!

Every year, during the Summer, its time for the open air festivals!! Happy crazy wonderful people all around the world gather to share their energy, smiles and spirit in various open air events all over the world, in Europe as well, known as GOA or Psychedelic festivals.

Cycling to the top of mt. Hymettus (Athens - GREECE)

Image
Athens is situated in the basin of four mountain, Mount Aegaleo to the west, Mount Parnitha to the north, Mount Penteli to the northeast and Mount Hymettus to the east. Hymettus stands at around 1.000m high and its a nice, beautiful and easy bike ride to the top.  On the way we passed by Kaisariani Monastery which dates back from the Byzantine times, constructed around A.D.1100, now in its restored form.  Monastery grounds were full of curious cats :)  Around halfway to the top found these funny birds which were quite bored to fly (!) but were going around walking :D  Another monastery from the 11th century A.D. named "Monastery of Taxiarches Asterion" is found at 545 meters, more than halfway to the top, a nice place for rest.  Almost to the top and we could see the radio antennas.  The view of Athens from the top was really great, had some rest and then headed back down as the rain was on its way... :)
