Adventure travel, the real story!

Everyone thinks that adventure travel is just a charmed life.  Blue skies and the wind at your back.  But the truth is some days suck!!!

Yesterday, I was heading into one of the most desolate regions of Iceland.  An area that resembles the moon with it's black volcanic sands and volcanic mountains.  It's a narrow two track road that crosses the country and gives you the impression of being on a different planet.  It's also rather remote.  That's why when I got not one, but two flats, it was an event.  Seems I found the only nails ever spewed from a volcano into it's black volcanic sand.  Making things even worse was the fact that it was raining and amazingly windy.  The loose volcanic sand became volcanic muck and it was a freakin' mess.  One car passed and saw the bike on it's side with my stuff strewn all over and assumed I was in an accident.  Surprisingly a Ranger showed up after a while and offered what limited assistance he could.  Actually, I had taken care of the problem by then so he more or less just watched as I put things back together.

This means a big change of plans for me though since I was expecting to be on the north side of the country last night.  Now that I am running a 21 inch tube in a 17 inch tire I will go looking for a shop to get a new tube or have mine installed.  Unfortunately, that takes me in the opposite direction of where I was to be and the exact opposite side of the country from where I was to pick up the ferry.  

Such is the life of adventure travel.  Some days are indeed beautiful and some just suck!

A festival in Norway

Any way I look at it I love Norway. The scenery is amonst the best on
the plant, the riding is amazing and people are great. Yesterday and
today we are at true norweigen festival on the coast. It is in a
small town and huge numbers of people have come from all around. In
fact, everyone I met in the last town is here.

Word seems to have gotten out that there are a couple of guys who have
riden around the world on motorcycles at the festival. I found this
out while relieving myself at a concert last night when someone asked
me if I was one of the people. It's not often I have to introduce
myself while pissing and being right handed makes it awkward shaking
hands at such a moment. None the less we have been invited to
numerous happenings around town and allowed to camp free... If I got
the story in the toilet right.

The concert was a lot of fun too. Norweigen country music with the
likes of johnny cash during breaks. And to hear the people here sing
Rocky Top, was a truely special moment.

Well it's off to find coffee...somewhere..

My SPOT got run over by a bus and the replacement isn't working yet.
Stuart and I are currently in Voss and will re-ride Flam today and
then head to the coast. I'll leave for iceland next Tuesday.

Since we don't speak the language it has been hard to gather the magnitude of the distaster until this moment.

No Worries Here!

Thanks for the concerned e-mails. Only one person in our group felt the earthquake yesterday and I hadn't a clue it happened until returning back to the hotel for dinner last night.

The motorcycles haven't arrived to the port yet and best guesses are that we won't be on them until next Monday or Tuesday. They will have to catch up to us, since China will not let us within 300 KM of Beijing on them due to the Olympics. No one is happy about this, but there is little that can be done.

Apparently, China has turned off the factories around Beijing about a month ago and the air is actually clean. What a scam!
