All's Well It's an amazing contrast to Adelaide in spring. Good to know you have managed to use your bike; could have been worse. Waiting to hear about the food. Latho Drom-James
you just gotta laugh! Hi there Peter, gosh, I am really enjoying your travelling, fortunately though, I am not getting the odours attached, whewwwwww. Look forward to more.
Hi Traveller Hi Pete,
Good to read you are safe and well, even if the pedal part is a little worse for wear. Feeling very envious - would love to be there again! Trip with Mum went well. She LOVED the snow. She even got on and off the chair lift as it was moving, and it snowed all the way to the top. We were both squealing. It was very special to have taken her to see snow for the first time(in her 86 years). Stayed in Daylesford and Bright - both beautiful. Boys ok (well I thoink Jed is - haven't spoken to him for about 2 weeks. Tim under the pump at Uni and stressed out and now has sore throat. To be expected with the hours he is keeping and food he's not eating. Keep safe luv Annie
Hi from India Thanks Kath for the well wishes. I wanted to see what's called the mini Taj Mahal here in Aurangabad this afternoon, but got caught in the afternoon rain. Someone told me 1,000 people died near here last week or so from floods and also the bombing that you may have heard about was about 100kms from here. So far getting wet has been about it really, although my bike did get damaged in the plane and is limping a bit but should be easily fixed on my return. All for now Cheers Pete
Hi there you lucky traveller! Hi Peter,
Glad to hear you arrived safely. The Singapore stopover sounded like a great start to your trip! Beautiful weather here. It's going to be 27 degrees on Sunday for the City to Bay - might have to follow that with gin and tonics out the back!
Take care, Kath xx
To The Indian Correspondant Love the security at the Bentley Hotel. Have you taken a contracts with the Mumbia Times as offical correspondant? Good to know you enjoyed the flight. Could do with one of thoughs foot massages after the city-bay this sunday. LOL James
On Yer Bike Good travelling Pete.
PS. I am sitting in my dingy little office, where a stingy ray of sunlight struggles feebly down between the houses tall... Actually, the view from the Greens office in the Lower Ground Floor of Parliament House is of the legs of bus passengers waiting in King William Street, but you get the idea - jealous of your adventure.
Wishing you all the best. Peter, wanted to ring and wish you the best but phone engaged. All those other well wishers I guess. Then a blog message appeared! That explains why the phone line was busy!
Have a great and safe journey, looking forward to keeping up online and then more stories when you return.
Can't think of a name for the bike, but it'll just come to you one day. Plus the only names I know are a bunch of God manifestations, Tilla, Shivar, Ghanesh etc. Maybe Mahaburata (spelling totally wrong) cos its an epic Indian (Hindu) story and your on an epic Indian journey?
Have fun.
DOING IT WHILE I CAN..before old-age, climate change, terrorism, terminal illness, lack of money ...hits.
