Where we are now
More-detailed maps of countries we visited Our intended route. Our adventure begins with a flight to Halifax, Nova Scotia in the last week of June 06 where we hope to be reunited with our bike which should have been shipped over by sea; a crossing that takes one week. We then plan to leave Halifax on July 1st 06 and ride west, passing just north of the Great Lakes and heading towards Alaska. From Alaska we head south into the USA. We will spend at least 6 months touring the States and visiting several friends there. Eventually we will head down into Central America via Mexico and passing through Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. The bike will then be shipped from Panama to Bogotá in Colombia; here we start our South America adventure as we hope to pass through Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. From Santiago in Chile, the bike will be shipped across to New Zealand. After exploring and visiting friends we will then ship the bike to Australia where again we intend spending time visiting family and exploring parts of this fine country that we didn’t get time to see during our last visit in 2006. From Australia we will then ship the bike to Asia, possibly via Darwin to Singapore. From here into Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, India and down to Sri Lanka. It was in Sri Lanka that our son Daniel and his beautiful girlfriend Donna were washed away in the Boxing Day Tsunami. Fortunately they survived, unlike the hundreds of thousands who didn’t. We spent a hellish few days waiting to hear something from them. As a result of this disaster we would like to help out in the area they were in at this time which was Middigamer, nr Galle - we would like to give something back. From Sri Lanka we plan to head back into India. It will be from here that we will decide what we do as far as riding through Pakistan and Iran to Turkey or fly over; his will depend on the political situation at that time. Once in Turkey we ride home across Europe Via Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Belgium, and France. Home - OR WILL WE? How long is this all going to take? Who knows; it’s all part of the adventure !
