Late May/early June, when the rhododendrons are in flower, the carriage drive is fantastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this photo of my missus in a traditional hut of the Sami people, who herd the reindeer. This holiday was special, because my missus was going into hospital on our return for a cancer operation, so it was something to take our minds off what lay ahead. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Peru, Cambodia, Vietnam, India, America top to bottom, Finland, Germany before they introduce speed limits on the autobahn, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, the Philippines, Nepal again, Japan, Marie Marvingt's birth place in France and I have a long list of bridges I'd like to ride over- Storseisundet Bridge, Norway. Millau Viaduct Bridge, France. Royal Gorge Bridge, Colorado. Eshima Ohashi Bridge, Japan. Deception Pass, Washington. Seven Mile Bridge, Florida. Kawarau Bridge, New Zealand. There are other bridges you can only walk over which I'd like to try out too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Lots of thing I’d like, but realistically there’s no bucket list. Would like to ride a few days around the Nurburgring on my bike, just to see what it’s like on two wheels and a meter and a half higher than my car. Would probably like to ship my bike to São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro and ride around Brasil and the rest of South America, except Peru. Maybe ride out to Kirgistan, straight from home. I’d like to not die sad nor leave sad people behind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recognise that might not be a fair take on their country and people, but fuck Peru anyway Good ceviche, though… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 I'd love to go and see the statues on Easter Island, but suspect it's a bit beyond my reach now. Machu Picchu would be good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I forgot Georgia (the country not the American state). Its position in between Europe with the Black Sea, turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia and its long ancient history makes for some interesting reading. Mongols, Turks, Independence from Russia with German protection then back again and most recently the Russian- Georgian war in 2008. They have a number of UNESCO world heritage sites worth a visit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
