Andrija cycled 800 km from Smederevo, Serbia, through Macedonia, to island Tassos in Greece. Here he arrived in Nis (south Serbia), at the end of the second day of his tour. Still in great shape, both he and his bicycle...
Not everything went so smoothly as the first two days. In Macedonia Andrija had three flat tires and got lost in the mountains during a storm. Here he is already in Greece, his bike taking a serious repair in Thessaloniki - another flat tire.
Goal is reached! Andrija on the beach on Tassos, Greece.
