Around the world 2014→2015

Our adventure around the world starts looking at East, with an almost classic, epic itinerary, starting point of thousands tales and wonderful stories. A journey that renders up-to-date the ancient Silk Road, which crosses old Europe and former Soviet Union countries, passing through Iran. A geographical and historical journey at the same time, which arouses imagination and wonders, even if it’s made just on a map, travelling with imagination.

In a way we go on with our adventure from the point we left it, retracing backwards a path faced in 2009, coming back by motorcycle from India, and in the same direction, going East, in 2012, to reach Nepal.

We leave from Italy to come in contact with countries rich in history similar to ours, such as Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Ukraine. Then we go down towards Turkey, along the Black Sea, passing through Moldova, Romania and Bulgaria. We cross Iran in the North, in the sites of the ancient Persian Empire, not far from the Caspian Sea which we run along northward, covering a nice piece of Turkmenistan ending to cross the whole Kazakhstan, from West to East, to Almaty, near the border with Kyrgyzstan.

Almaty has been the capital of Kazakhstan until 1998 but still remains the largest city in Kazakhstan and the largest hub in the country. The name "Almaty" means "the place with apples" in Kazakh. In the region surrounding the city the great diversity of wild apples (alma) suggests that our European Apple originates in South-Eastern Kazakhstan. If it’s true, then Newton and Apple are in debt with it…
