Half way through the trip

Still smiling together

My thoughts and feelings after seven months on the road. (Trev)

This is something I have always wanted to do. I want to put myself out there and see if I can make it through and so far we are managing fine. But I also feel we have not been tested yet. That may come or it may not. As we head into the more difficult parts of the world, more remote with fewer THINGS we will see. What will happen if the bike breaks down?? What will happen if we can’t find a room somewhere?? These are things that I think will test us both but I do know one thing for sure we will figure it out and we will pull through. I am very fortunate to have someone with me that makes this whole thing a real team effort and I know that if and when we do find our self in a situation then we will work it out together Like the team that we are.

We have seen so many wonderful things. This world amazes me every day I love meeting the people that alone makes me happy. I always seem to be the one that starts the conversation I like to know where people are from that is the number one question for me after that the conversation can go anywhere. But like Chenty says our hard drives are full we need to down load and that is one reason for keeping the blog, we just can’t hope to remember it all. I love taking the photos and thanks to all who have commented on them but from here when you get such fantastic sights to put in front of the lens it just seems that I focus and snap and there is one more good shot for the Blog.

So we have now done nearly 40,000 km since leaving home, we have fell of once with no damage done put three back tires and two front tires on and pushed I don’t know how many liters of gas through the tank (I stopped counting after the ride across the USA) we have been shown so much hospitality in so many countries that I am touched and humbled beyond belief.

So as we make plans to ship to India where we have been told it is like nothing else on earth I say bring it on!! I love the thrill of new places learning new cultures and seeing new things. But first I need to find somewhere to down load and reboot.. I don’t want to forget anything I have seen or done it is a once in a lifetime experience and I say thanks every day.

As for when I get home?? There is work to be done as I want to go do this again.

The hardest thing about this whole trip is that I miss so much my family and friends back home but then Skype helps with that…..
