-In August me and my girlfriend continued travelling, getting to 4 new countries: Türkiye, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Albania.
-
-A typically morning was waking up and trying to piece together the details of where we even where, we were moving fast
-after Greece.
-
-We did a quick detour in Türkiye, then the many cramped and sweaty bus getting around the Balkans.
-
-I was surprised to still manage to get 109 hours to work on open-source, but I was starting to feel the burnout of
-managing work and travel.

-The highlight of the month was getting out [Unhead v1.3](https://github.com/unjs/unhead/releases/tag/v1.3.0) which included
-some significant performance improvements.
-
-I continued work on Nuxt Scripts, trying to figure out the scope of the project and how it would work.
-
-The rest of my time went to maintenance of [Nuxt SEO](https://nuxtseo.com).

-## 🇹🇷 Türkiye
-
-Our first day in İstanbul was massive, exploring all the stunning Mosque's. You can easily hit up 5 mosques and only walked
-a few kms.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-We stayed in a locals neighbourhood and hit up the family-run restaurants. I didn't know at that point, but I'd be eating
-some form of "kebab" and drinking Turkish coffee every day for the next month.
-
-Safe to say, I also took advantage of the Turkish sweets.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-After being thoroughly mosque'd out, we headed to the famous "balloon" town Göreme within the Cappadocia region.
-
-Göreme is stunningly scenic little town that is an Instagram tourist haven and in turn is a bit of a tourist trap.
-But we still enjoyed it!
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-We did a full-day hike through Rose valley, coming across
- impressively well-endowed rock formations, historical abandoned cave churches and a friendly dog
-who guided us.
-
-This was one of my favourite hikes, we had the trail almost entirely to ourselves, it was scenic and exploring the caves with
-our new dog friend was fun.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-The balloons were expensive, so I decided to skip. But I did hear good things and the ground view
-itself was pretty impressive.
-
-
-
-## 🇧🇬 Bulgaria
-
-Bulgaria was the start of
-the Balkans for us, which meant I was in for a lot of cheese pies and more kebabs.
-
-We did a quick couple of days in Plovid, which had a nice old town and some interesting Roman ruins. Then we were
-off to the capital city Sofia. It had some interesting architecture and a nice park.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-From Sofia, we went to do Seven Rila Lakes hike, which was one of our highlights.
-
-The hike is a chair lift, followed by a 3-hour ascent to the peek. Along the way you'll see 7 lakes, each at a different altitude.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-It was a fun hike, everyone had brought their dogs along and had picnics at the lakes.
-
-You get to the peak, and it's a stunning view - if the clouds aren't blocking it.
-

-## 🇲🇰 North Macedonia
-
-We spent a couple of days in Skopje, a city characterised by an excess of modern statues and monuments. Many of them
-artificially made to look historical.
-
-
-
-A nice day trip from Skopje is Matka Canyon, you can do some nice hiking, lake swims and kayaking.
-
-
-
-The rest of our time in North Macedonia was spent in Ohrid, a beautiful lake town. It seems to be the holiday destination
-of choice for anyone in the Balkans who doesn't have easy access to the coast.
-
-Every night we were there, there was a festival on the lake, with fireworks, music and rides.
-
-
-
-## 🇦🇱 Albania
-
-We didn't know much about Albania beforehand, we had heard good things from other travellers though and we were excited.
-They told us about the friendly locals, and it was beautiful nature.
-
-Our first stop was Gjirokastër, Albania. Gjirokastër is a UNESCO world heritage site, with a classic old town and castle.
-We got a good workout climbing up to the castle, which had some nice views.
-
-
-
-We also did a day trip to the Blue Eye, which is a natural spring that is a stunning blue colour. You can jump from
-a few metres up into the water, which was fun.
-
-
-
-From there, we hit the coastal town of Himarë. Himarë is one of the remaining chill beach towns in the Balkans, that
-hasn't been completely overrun with tourism development.
-
-
-
-Our last stop for Albania was the Northern town of Shkodër. From Shkodër
-you can go and stay in the Albanian Alp town of Theth.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-We spent 4 days in Theth, doing the Volbona pass hike and chasing waterfalls. It was really cosy and relaxing to be surrounded by
-the mountains, it was a good recovery from the fast pace of the Balkans.
