    Awesome. Oh to have life over again and do stuff like that before commitments, like home and kids came along.

    Maybe when I am 50-something and the kids have gone I'll get to go somewhere half as exciting.

    If I can avoid her hating me between now and then, that could be a trip and a half.

    OK, so I've got no chance.

    Great little adventure but as mentioned above taking them part way on a trailer is wrong it should have been the whole trip .
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Amazing

    just sat and read the whole report, at the end there is a bit about the area and people, someone commented about it being worthy of National Geographic and it is truly worthy.




    Thanks Bob for linking this, and thanks to Sambor Wild, wild world, Sambor&Izi motorbike heaven
