Transnitria
Since we started our tour 1997, we crossed 32 countries. Well, to be more specific: we have cycled across 32 recognized countries plus Transnistria (or Pridnestrovie), a country not recognised by any country I have ever been. Should we count Transnistria as county number 33?
No, we will not and there are two good reasons for this: Transnistria is not recognised by any other country, exept Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh and South Ossetia. So why should we? And, much more important for me: How can a country with corrupt immigration officers (I had to buy my passport back) expect to be taken serious?

Turkey
2011 and 2012: Turkey

Ukraine
2011: we cycled to Odessa in the Ukrain
