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

Robb and Ania
