Around the Adriatic Sea 2026: Trieste – Dubrovnik
All photos: Balkan photos, city photos. The photos of the cycle route are listed in reverse chronological order. Those of the cities are listed chronologically.
On 25 August, I took a rust day in Bouillon. I wanted to visit about three sights in the city, but this intention was thwarted by a three-hour patience exercise to reactivate my failed Scarlet e-mail account on my mobile phone. As a result, only a visit to the iconic fortified castle of Godfrey of Bouillon over, because at 5pm I had to be at the osteopath and that was a 40-minute walk.
The raptor demonstration in the castle courtyard by a falconer from Berchem (my current hometown!) was spectacular, as can be seen in some photos. He showed two buzzards, a white barn owl, a large eagle owl, a American vulture and an American bald eagle flying freely across the courtyard and over the heads of the audience.
One by one impressive birds for which you momentarily hold your breath as they skim over your head.

In Venice, I visited the Biennale at the Arsenale, the Giardini and various venues around the city. I also took the opportunity to see the Pinault collection at Punta della Dogana and a compelling exhibition by Michael Armitage at Palazzo Grassi.
