Getting ready for the next motorbike trip!

This Saturday (the 8th of July) we are setting off to Spain (Basque Country to be precise), where will be traveling for the next 2 weeks. We've got our tickets for the ferry: Newhaven to Dieppe in France:



And that's probably...the only thing we know for sure with regard to our upcoming trip, basically ;) And that the ferry back is on the 23rd evening ;)

Last Saturday we packed all our stuff we are thinking of having on us during the travel and on Sunday tested the packing it all up and riding, both of us, on our Kawasaki W650 while going all the way to Wales and taking a different route to go back. 

That's all we had packed: 


Nevertheless, we were still missing two mattresses back then, which had been shipped from Poland (arrived on Mon). They are v.compressed indeed, space-wise: Fjord Nansen TREKKER. We also gave up on taking two camping gas bottles. Otherwise it's all we are thinking to have for those 2 weeks in northern Spain :) Fingers crossed!

Wrap-up:

- tent (Coleman Darwin 2)
- 2 air-mattresses
- 1 bed linen + 1 regular sleeping bag
- 2 waterproof jackets
- 2 microfiber towels
- 3-4 pieces of underwear each + swimming shorts/bikini
- 3 pairs of socks each
- 3 t-shirts each
- 3 pairs of shorts
- thermal underwear
- 1 flip-flops
- 1 jumper each
- multi-tool set
- camera
- 1 charger + USB cable
- cooking set (3 pans/pots + 2 cups + 1 foldable silicon-bowl + 2 sets of camping cutlery)
- head-torch
- road map for northern Spain
- 1 gas bottle
- 2 foldable/collapsible Oxfam bottles
- 1 soap + 2 little bottles with shampoo&conditioner
- 2 toothbrushes + toothpaste
- 1 suncream bottle (200ml) - Aloe Pura Organic SPF 50
- 2 money bum-busg
+ some minor items I can't now recall ;)

short break for sightseeing,
Tintern Abbey


So well, we survived India - why then shouldn't we Spain! 

We can't wait for the next adventure to begin :)))) x

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...
