Lonely Planet Turkey
My 2,500 km ride through Turkey would make up to 30% of my bicycle journey from Germany to Pakistan. So, it is very important to carefully plan my route. That’s why I am reading Lonely Planet book even in the bath tub.

My mom said to me today, “sons of other families try to rush back home, but you are always delaying it.” “She is right”, I think to myself.
I got new Swiss-Eye Sunglasses today. Since they are not prescription glasses, I have to wear contact lenses with them. As I am not use to wearing contacts, it took me more than 30 minutes and lots of tear shedding to put them on; a price for wearing cool glasses.
Dad often used to say, “Son, always keep your head cool and feet warm”. To this date, I still wonder what exactly he meant to say.
While I am still sending orders for the gear, you can have a look how a biker’s room looks like before a grand tour.
Now it’s public! A newspaper article about my upcoming 10,000 km bicycle journey from Germany Pakistan published in Ostsee Zeitung.
Finally, received my 30 day transit visa for Turkey. Now, need to apply for Iran visa.
Today I got a vaccination for Rabies to protect myself against Rabies virus in dog bites. I took this picture with a GoPro camera.
I bought a new GoPro Hero camera. This is the first picture I took with it. I was fiddling with the camera when the camera accidentally snapped this photo. Hope to take some great pictures and footage with this camera on my bicycle travels.
I have lower back pain. Is it due to too much biking exercise? Time to take it easy on biking.
In a bicycle naming ceremony held on Jan 25, 2011 in StarterCafe Rostock, my HP Velotechnik Street Machine GTe gets a name Maya. She has 9 beautiful girls as godmothers who named her and cut the ribbon.
