 Right from the word go, it has been an adventure in every sense of the word. 20 countries, 22000 kms in 2 months. From 80 kms a day to 800 kms a day, from -5 Deg C in the higher reaches of the mountain passes in the Himalayas to +49 Deg C in the deserts of Kazakhstan, from the peaceful and well-paved roads to “roads?” – loose gravel strewn across the side of a mountain. Tajikistan to your left. Throw a stone across the river on the right and it will land in Afghanistan.
 But in everything – the people – all over the world, amazing! They themselves may not have fuel or food,  but always ready to share with you. Mothers bringing small children to sit on and experience the motorcycle. People spontaneously coming and starting a conversation with you. Different languages, but you still communicate and understand. 
 Every step, gets you to believe in yourself and believe in the people around you.  A journey always changes you inside out. An adventure ... more so.
