Cycling Nomads :: the World of Ania & Robb Maciag :: » day by day http://www.cyclingnomads.org Tue, 26 Apr 2011 14:47:02 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 28 days to go …. http://www.cyclingnomads.org/28-days-to-go/ http://www.cyclingnomads.org/28-days-to-go/#comments Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:31:29 +0000 robb http://www.cyclingnomads.org/?p=146 Yes it is. The Countdown widget on my desktop is telling me it’s 28 days to go. Looks like “almost there” but at the same time … shit .. it’s 28 days of waiting ;-)

Yeah .. well … Ania and I have been busy. Veeeery busy. First .. leaving UK and belive me or not it wasn’t easy :-) Party after party and … more party. So many friends left behind .. kind of. At least for a while. Hope they will visit us one day in PL. they have no excuses :-)

This weekend gonna be a big one. Some nice people invited us to Kraków to do some speeches about our travels. Ania is having her first one ever :-) Western woman traveling in Muslim countries. Ha! Nice one.

And me? Oh well .. after the first article in NatGeo [about my trip to China .. again] I’m having a “lecture” about … my trip to China . .again :-) Hope the new book is going to be on the market soon so I’ll have some break from … my trip to China .. again :-)

The bikes are almost ready. Since one of my bikes was stolen … so many people want to help! First, my girls+Shamus from Ark Academy decided to give me some money for a new saddle [Brooks B17], now some “internet friends” from Poland sending new brakes and a whole set of new super-tires. For free :-) Oh well …. for a postcard from Iran to be precise! ;-)

What else ? Hmmmm … Poland is cool. Virtually :-) Some snow, -10C and … tens and hundreds of deers! You drive along the motorway, lets say to Wrocław and you see big groups of them every few minutes.
After some problems with LOI for Uzbekistan everything looks good again and … iranian visa was 3 days to be ready :-)

So . .everything looks good, great and bright :-)
Fingers cross it will end up like this :D

After some years abroad it’s time to move on and … go back to the Old Good Poland again :-) Why not? The weather is nice, the forest is just next to our house, most of the friends are around and closer than here. And there is the lovely family, more writing for NatGeo and all the other great stuff.

So . .the van is coming tomorrow afternoon, taking all our stuff, gadgets and rubbish back to PL. Mostly books and CDs :-) Tree more weeks in London, sorting out work, council tax and some other red tape before we really go back .. just to re-pack and hit the road again. The Silk Road this time :-)

Well .. all the best!

Riding their bicyles & pedaling through Asia.
