Monday, 24 January 2011. Thailand - The Mai Hong Son Loop Day 183 (16,892 miles). We escaped the comfort and ease of Chiang Mai, the daily yoga classes, Boots the chemist, everyone understanding English and headed south west. The Mai Hong Son loop is a favourite amongst motorcyclists for great twisty, hilly roads and pretty countryside within easy reach of Chiang Mai. Wat Chong Kahm temple below was across the lake from our guesthouse. We spent sometime at the local moped mechanics while John tried to ge...

Sunday, 31 July 2011. Turkey - Return to Istanbul - Day 371(26,660 miles). After 32 days and just over 3000 miles (4800 km) we arrived back in Istanbul, neither of us expected to cover so much ground but Turkey is a big old country and there is still alot for us to come back and explore another time. A welcome back cake from the club members, suitably served on top of a map of Turkey! Metmin, Tatiana and Yasmin and a selection of biscuits (to go with the cake! A joy to visit on a hot day is the Basilica ...

Saturday, 27 November 2010. Australia - North of Adelaide. Day 128 ( 11,610 miles). Before Vic and Stew headed back home from Adelaide we visited Bjoern and Sigrid who bought Stew’s last bike (a Suzuki DR650) in preparation for their own ‘Big Trip’ planned for 2012. John and I ended up staying with them for 3 days! They are lovely people who made us feel incredibly welcome. Sigrid, Bjoern and us at their local Thai restaurant (very nice! Auburn was a quaint little place we stopped for a bum break. The ne...

Tuesday, 22 February 2011. Laos - South to Luang Prabang - Day 198 (17,638 miles). At the bike wash Laos style. Nice kids who were interested in the bike when we stopped in their village. Unfortunately John had a tummy bug for a couple of days, luckily it was while we were in Luang Prabang so at least he had a nice room with a decent bathroom and there was plenty for me to do while he didn’t feel up to sightseeing or riding. Not a bad spot for a game of volleyball. With John feeling better we had a cultu...

Thursday, 26 May 2011. India - All kinds of wild life-Day 295 (22,474 miles). 8220;No please, feel free, take our side of the road. We only need this tiny weenie bit! Oh how we laughed! Either a touch overloaded or he drives like this to save his front tyres wearing out. We had a brilliant guide who could spot and identify the tiniest and best camouflaged animals from miles away sadly neither of us can remember the name of this pretty bird. Spot the Croc, he may not be huge but he’s there somewhere.

jmac and jane: Slovenia - Small but perfectly formed - Day 406 (29,130 miles)
http://testrunjmacandjane.blogspot.com/2011/09/slovenia-small-but-perfectly-formed-day.html
Saturday, 3 September 2011. Slovenia - Small but perfectly formed - Day 406 (29,130 miles). The Republic of Slovenia is pretty tiny (population just over 2 million, size 7,800 square miles) but a lovely country. Our first impression when we crossed the border was how alpine and like Austria the countryside was, not surprising really as it borders Italy, Austria and Hungary so is close to the Alps proper. There was an art and music festival the weekend we were there so tons to see and do, as we only had t...

Jill and David and Travels with Nancy. The difference between a dream and a plan is a departure date. Monday, January 31, 2011. So before you all start sending us money, let me say that we are not destitute, and although this is very unpleasant, isn't the end of the world or our trip. Two things I have learned so far from this experience. Apart from that life has been very relaxing in our Cabaña by the roaring ocean. We are off today (Monday 31/1/11) towards Guatamala to take up our 2 weeks of intens...

Tuesday, 24 August 2010. Day 34. 3677 miles travelled todate. We were surprised just how much you could smell the Texas oilfields, there were mile after mile of wells nodding away. At one point there was a large windfarm on the opposite side of the road to the wells, good to see the Texans are looking at alternative energy! With the amount of sky and sun they have they could generate heaps of power with solar panels. Our first stop in New Mexico was an overnight stop in a very small place called Fort Sum...
