Very well written!! Hi,
I really enjoyed reading your blog about Indonesia, it is very well written, well done.
We will also ship from Penang to Medan in a few days inch allah (any tips on this, it looks like prices went crazy...) and I am looking for info on road conditions in Sumatra and more generaly in Indonesia. We have two 25cc city bikes (Yamaha YBR) and road conditions have to be watched carefully with this kink of bikes! Did you take the trans-sumatra highway all the way? Is it in ok conditions (from your blog it does not look good at all)? From what I read above, you had a decent amount of rain, when did you travel in Indo? Are there any portion you would advice to avoid (if avoidable)?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Vanessa et Romain

Great blog! Really helpful for see how crossing the Mirjavah/Taftan border was like and going to Quetta etc as its something I am planning on doing sometime in the future.(2014)
Enjoyed your entire blog! Thank you
Just stumbled upon your blogs after doing some research about Iran. I am totally fascinated and honestly a bit envious as well. Totally cool way to see the world, despite the low points. Can't wait to read more.
WOW!! Congratulations! I read all the blog entries, it was a great pleasure. I'm happy you arrived well. Please keep us updated about what comes next!
CU perhaps in 2014?!
A big hug from Frankfurt, Birgit
Good luck in Indonesia Dear Tanja &Brian,
We did like to read all your "B''s, there 's a lot of them! We admire your positive attitude and love your blogs. Keep on writing.
Have a nice trip in Indonesia, avoid the overloaded ferrys!
Love,
Wim and Els
LIKE!! I like to follow your blog. It is really interesting (and funny to read) and I'm happy that you are fine. All the best! Greetings from a very cold Germany, Birgit
no complaints great to see how life is in these places . great blog you two.... bet you regret complaining when not much was going on. 'welcome to the happy bus , come in , sit down and help me burn this big one down'.... glad you ditched the 'pretend' hippies!!

compliments It started as a holiday, but it was a real adventure at least. Brian and Tanja, we are really proud how you 're handling all the trouble. Also it was good to see how nice the people are in Iran, we liked to read about it all. Brian, go ahead with the blog, we like your writing style very much. We hope you will be fine for the rest of the trip and wish you a good time in Pakistan.
With love,
Wim and Els
What a disaster. Maybe there was something wrong with the engine before the breakdown took place and it was not only your fault. I can guess getting the parts sent has been troublesome too. And what can be said about the Iranians who helped you, they must be incredibly nice people.
Nice pics! Hi there!
We've just read the last entries and looked at the nice pictures - some of them reminding us at our time together in Kas. We enjoyed especially reading the Kas-cade camping experience we survived together - but we also enjoy following you on your way through Iran.
For us, daily life, work and cold weather now.
We wish you a good ride and all the best!
Greetings from Frankfurt!
Andreas and Birgit

Ohlins or Showa? Hello. I saw a glimpse of this inteersting ride deport on advrider and now I'm following it here. I hope you are having fun in the Middle East now. My question is, which shock absorber was blown, the Ohlins or the Showa?
Greetings from Spain.
Ooooooh its a snake! Sounds like the fun bits are about to start, glad to see the nice pics of the wildlife..... Keep safe you two, and keep an eye on the skies for some raptors. namaste
Keep the posts coming. It's really weird, but when I read this I hear it in Brian's voice. Must the expressions you use, the way you speak is translated into the way you write.
I'm so jealous. Stay safe.
We are travelling from UK to Nepal by motorbike - two Suzuki DRZ 400's. At the start of this blog we are in Switzerland and plan to ride through Italy, Greece, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India and Nepal. From there we are not sure what to do - we might do South East Asia too, or go straight to Australia.
