Karol Bagh - Lalli Singh

We went to the moto market today, a place called Karol Bagh. We already had one recommendation about it, one of the shop-stalls belonged to Mr. Lalli Singh. It turns out to be a legendary place, recommended by the Lonely Planet guide and with plenty of a good feedback. We had kind of sceptical attitude about it, expecting horrendous prices, used bikes and frenetic Indians running around you. But what a surprise! We were attended with a normal looking, nice guy, who explained us generally how do they work, what the deals and their conditions are etc. and obviously showed us the bikes, or actually the only bike that was close to our description (not being the one that we were, not strictly though, looking for). Awwww! Loads of brilliant bikes and this one: Royal Enfield Classic, looked like the fulfilling of our dreams :) The only 350cc they had, black one, with spoked wheels (!), double siting and all the safety and travelling equipment included, from 2014 and 10000km mileage.
I'll not go through all the details, but is enough to say that we're content and exited! At least a very promising sign. Tomorrow or day after tomorrow we'll gonna have a trial ride and we'll be ready to take off!! Wiiii :)

That's how it all looked like:

Karol Bagh market. Busy..;)

No shoes, clean hands and feet before entering as a basis and plenty of gods to choose from, food given away at the foot of a temple. Hare Hare Krishna, hare hare!

Basque Country - inland / hilly landscapes

Further on we went. From the seashore we headed inland where a few nice spots awaited us. Every day was brining some new curiosities. From the shore, Gaztelugatxe, we went along the coast down to Bakio to have a coffee and to take a shower on the beach ;) Very refreshing one indeed, as it wasn't too sunny.  Later the same morning we headed towards Burgos, going round Bilbao, to the Nervión waterfall ( es )- the biggest waterfall on the Iberian Peninsula, with a single drop of 222 m ! Very impressive it was, indeed, although at that time of dry season there was no water at all, to our surprise ;)  Nevertheless the river's canyon itself was just breath-taking and was making you think about the earth's magnitude and grand self-creation forces.  On the way... leaving the coast for good right before the Nervión there were herds of horses all around <3 After dismounting the motorbike and a short visit in the visitors centre we took a long, a few kilom...

Hello Thailand!

We re-booked our tickets, changing destinations from Nepal (Kathmandu) to Thailand (Bangkok) due to obvious reasons that commoved the world recently. Therefore our arrival date is set up for the 15th of May, 2015, just around dawn. Not the best time to arrive in such a big city, but I'm sure we'll find our way to sort everything out as we want it :) Follow our trail, foot-trail this time, as we gonna backpack, so trains/buses and internal flights will be our means of transport from now on! Keep yourself on track - there'll be a lot to talk about and bunch of pictures coming up every now and then, I'm sure. So..keep fingers crossed! :)

Maharashtra - here we come! :)

Saylana What we decided afterwards was to finally start going downwards, towards the South. Our next destination point on the map was: Banswar, simply because it lies on a way to Ajanta caves which we were going to visit next. But, as it happens quite often,it turned out to be a fairly big city, not much people spoke English there though. Yet if they did, it was not very useful, the prices they were wishing for a room for one night were not corresponding much to what we expected, hence.. we just passed Banswar and carried on going hoping to find something reasonably cheap on the way. And as it usually happens once we started losing hope, a 'little' town came along. So since we had already stumbled in we decided to be consistent and look for a place to stay defintely this time, as the sun was already setting down. Despite the worrying problems in communication, again, after quite a long while, we found a boy (or he found us, is better to say) who brought us (on his scoot...
