In this book I describe many adventures and misadventures that I experienced during a two-month trip in the countries listed in the book's subtitle. Come along with me on a very challenging bicycle tour in southwestern Sardinia, an enjoyable visit to the beautiful island of Corsica, an educational week around amazing Malta, a fascinating and somewhat dangerous trip to radioactive Chernobyl, a journey around little visited Armenia, and finally an extremely adventurous (and risky) private tour to the most wild and remote area of Europe.
