Trip Info (under construction)

Below are link to my trip information in a table format.

Included are:

• Distances, duration;
• Road conditions (at the time I was there!);
• Hotel info;
• Rating for routes and hotel (my personal opinion);

Notes:

• Distances start/end points are my hostels;
• Intermediate points distance are usually major intersection, roundabout,…
• If there was a major detour, I tried to indicate it; Same with blockade duration;
• Trip duration depends on so many factor:s
  • My speed, Route conditions, Traffic, Rain/Snow, Detour/Blockade, Police, Music I am listening to ;)…
  • Arrival time is often skewed because of entering a new city, getting lost or trying to find a good/safe hostel with parking.

Legend:

Note: Brown background in table indicates non-asphalted road

• Off-road rating (obviously, the trip average speed would be a lot less than the speed indicated)
