The start of the journey...

Here are a couple of pictures to get the blog rolling.


Waiting for the ferry - all you doubters who said I wouldn't get a guitar on the back of the bike read and weep...


Breakfast in the Loire Valley

Here we are together at www.ridersrest.net in France leaving for Spain in the morning... Maybe!

Dan said...

A blog? Do you know what you're doing? I'm a wee bit concerned you might break the internets...

Good work, kids. So how does it feel? Giddy 'good mornings!' when you wake up and remember what you're doing?

Keep on keeping on, suerte, Dan

PS That guitar will last till your first dirt road....

MARTIN said...

Well done you two, have a great time, by the way which one of you set this idea up, as if I did'nt know. Take care of each other.

PS Keep that harmonica safe...I might start a book on how long the guitar lasts...!!!

Ok, ok, guys

Ha ha ha. A veeery funny joke.
A trip around the world on your bike, of course.

Now, please come back before I lose my sale bonus, my house in Barbados and my job.

Hi you two. Pete who on earth taught you to write a blog and how many hours did it take to sink in? Its not that long ago, you didnt even know how to download pics from your camera to the pc. Well done. It looks like you are having a brill time, we do miss you loads and loads, seeing your smiling faces (well Bruce's at least) brought a lump to my throat. Keep in touch and take care.

Good to see you both on the road. Hope you are getting better weather in Spain than we did. Look after the guitar, and keep up the blog please.

See you somewhere, someday - hopefully not in Manchester or London.

Grandad & Brucie pls hurry up and come back Mari's costing me a fortune in Wine. Pete i can see your guitar being used as firewood at some stage of the journey.Enjoy it while you can and we'll see you in the next couple of years.

Great stuff, very impressed with the blog. Well done on getting away. I think a ukelele would have been better. Anyway keep coming you two. Your beds are ready for next year sometime! We have just got back from loafing on the beach in Fiji for a week.
