Congrats Your journey seems such an epic slog Daniel with one foot after the other as you pedal mile after mile. Then the thrill when you thrash or freewheel downhill.and your speedometer strains to reach the record you now retain. I'm happy for you. congrats!
Time in the saddle May your time in the saddle continue to bring you joy Daniel. May it lead you in 2017 to somewhere beautiful...somewhere different. Enjoy.
But for the gulls and the patter of rain there'd be silence "For tonight, the rain wasn’t going anywhere, and neither was I." I'm with ya Daniel...I ain't going anywhere tonight either! But tomorrow...that's another story!
100 Blogs Wild is the Wind...Indomitable is your Determination...Inspiring is your Inner strength. Congratulations on your 100th blog Daniel. Congratulations on your book. Your name has thus become legend...in Travelblog in the ether...in hardcopy with your book. Hope you are enjoying life and I raise my glass to your endeavours.
Would you kiss a rabid badger on the lips for a Mars Bar? Sure would. Glad to hear you are thinking clearly Daniel. Must have been extremely poignant riding through the tsunami devastated areas with good reason for the lack of populace...and the silence.
Shintaro Anyone called Shintaro would also be a friend of mine...Congrats. The Samurai was my favourite TV show as a kid. The Samurai was Shintaro. When he visited Sydney they made him wear his traditional gear and he got a bigger crowd of fans than the Beatles...true story!
I've been reading the blogs you've posted thuus far... and have been amazed at your journey and all the difficulties you have overcome with the help of the kind Japanese people. Your eloquent intermission encapsulating your thoughts as you complete the journey is a fine tribute to your persistence and to the Japanese. I look forward to reading the blogs from the rest of your time there.
Waiting...then nearly lucky You nearly got a friend but didn't know how to welcome him and he left. Life can be like that sometimes. I feel your pain. Really enjoyed this blog Daniel. Beautifully written exposition of a day in the life. May your friend hang around longer next time!!!
homeless person I have been following your adventures on your wet ride through Japan Thought for a moment you would be joining a community of the homeless...around a campfire sharing international relations. But alas...another solitary park bench. Time to share yourself around...don't you think?
Greetings from the park bench It's ok Dave, I've made a few friends along the way! Although it still doesn't stop me from getting soaked most days unfortunately!
MY KINDA PLACE "local brew accompanied by a local band performing masterful songs in Hungarian"...sounds like the best way to experience Budapest...sounds like my kinda place.
Interesting blog Not often one sees a blog on East Timor, so thanks for posting. It is great to read a traveller's account of the place instead of having to rely solely on the media.
DAY7...LUUXXURY Exotic temples...shopping from shipping crates...bar down one end...sleeping in a well-ventilated ger...sounds as if you are experiencing...can I call it Luuxxury..!?
