Remarks: Well done, I honestly think your site is great. I have completed an overland journey from London to Sydney, two up on a 92 model Africa Twin and I would love to develop something like you have. I will be refering to your pages again for sure and I can't wait to tell others. Are you planning any other trips? Will you be expanding these pages? Best of luck with any future travels, I know that I have plenty more to do, maybe Africa or Sth America next, and should I get myself organised enough I'll do my best to put some info on the net for others to see.

Remarks: Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Very interesting and an excellent glimpse into travel by motorcycle.Looks like quite a load you ended up with on the back of your bike! Hmmm. Bargaining, black marketshomesickness. That's all part of the experience. How did you communicate with non-Dutch/English/Frenchspeakers? What's it like to be back in the comfort of good beers, hot showers and plenty of coffee?Do you miss being on the road? Or have you found a way to be "on the road" in the middle of "ordinary"life? I spent two years working in Hong Kong and a third year living and travelling in South Korea,Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and China. I've found it a bit hard to settle down again in Seattle.Hope you finish this site soon, would like to read about the yellow dots.
