Sun 08 Jun Nothing much doing. Spent the day by the pool after doing a little early morning exercise. Mon 09 Jun A couple of things were planned for today. The first was to check on the bike’s whereabouts, then pick up my hire care, then see about a ferry. The first was taken careContinueContinue reading “3/26 – Dubai, UAE – Sat 07 – Tue 17 Jun 2025”

3/25 – Pakistan Part 4: Departure – Thur 28 May – Sat 07 Jun
Thurs 28 May I apologise to my loyal readers who I’m sure have been sitting on the edge of their seats waiting on these last few exciting instalments of my Odyssey 😂. This “episode” will be relatively short since I haven’t done very much during he week. The lads left early on Thurs morning and thatContinueContinue reading “3/25 – Pakistan Part 4: Departure – Thur 28 May – Sat 07 Jun “
3/24 – Pakistan Part 3 – Sun 25 – Friday 29 May
We had decided on a day off today and to spend it visiting a place called Basho Valley, which is high in the hills, reachable only by 4×4. Initially we had planned to hire a Jeep from the jeep rank and the bottom of the hill, which would entail our riding some 40 km thereContinueContinue reading “3/24 – Pakistan Part 3 – Sun 25 – Friday 29 May “
3/23 – Pakistan Part 2 – 21-24 May 2025
Wed 21 May Today was supposed to be a gentle rest day, so no-one, except me, got out of bed early. In spite of the good intentions, Jack had found two places nearby to visit, so around midday we set off to find the first, Chundu Valley. This proved difficult, but eventually we were onContinueContinue reading “3/23 – Pakistan Part 2 – 21-24 May 2025”
3/20 – Mumbai And A Wee Bit Of India: 5-11 May 2025
Monday 05 May I had been promised a visit from my BDG contact at 1030, and to be fair to him, he turned up early. That was the only good thing; he informed me that the bike would now not be available until the following day. 😣 He would let me know when I should go toContinueContinue reading “3/20 – Mumbai And A Wee Bit Of India: 5-11 May 2025”
3/11 – Otago – 16-22 Feb 2025
Sun 16 – Tue 18 Feb: Pounawea The next three days were slow and relaxing; just what I needed to start my holiday. 😊 The rhythm of the evening of my arrival continued; we didn’t do a lot except eat, chat and drink a beer or two. A visit to a local place of interest, Jack’s Blowhole,ContinueContinue reading “3/11 – Otago – 16-22 Feb 2025”
3/09 – Belfast, Canterbury, New Zealand – 11/12 Feb 2025
Tue 11 Feb 2025 Because it was raining, I set off from Liz’s place towards midday, with a promise of dryer weather in the afternoon, and indeed I reached Blenheim with nothing more than a few sprinkles to bother me. The road was, as I had been warned, boring, with it’s only redeeming feature being,ContinueContinue reading “3/09 – Belfast, Canterbury, New Zealand – 11/12 Feb 2025”
3/06 – Getting it Right – Mon 27 – Fri 31 Jan 2025
Today I took the engine out again – getting quite good at it – and took off the top. The timing of the cam chain was off by one tooth. This could well cause the issues I noted. Question now is whether I have done any additional damage. The cost of shipping a new headContinueContinue reading “3/06 – Getting it Right – Mon 27 – Fri 31 Jan 2025”
01/19 – Bumps on my birthday – 27 June – 01 July 2019
27 June 2019 (Late): After my day as a paying tourist, I got down to some serious planning. My insurance for Tz was valid until 5 July, but for Rwanda only until 2 July; that meant I had to get from Keratu to the Uganda border with Rwanda, about 1,300km away in 5 days, includingContinueContinue reading “01/19 – Bumps on my birthday – 27 June – 01 July 2019”
01/18 – Ngorogoro Crater – 27 Jun 2019
I decided to do a day trip to the crater after speaking to a SA couple at Ma & PJ’s snake park. I negotiated a price of $200, with a pick up from Keratu which is just outside the gate. The night before I had met another SA couple who said it was definitely worthContinueContinue reading “01/18 – Ngorogoro Crater – 27 Jun 2019”
