Counting Days Since 2010
Since 2010, I’ve been counting days to start my bicycle trip to Germany. Now only less than 30 days left.
Kamran
Last Item in Shopping
Endless internet shopping for my bicycle tour from Germay to Pakistan is finished. The last item I bought is a mosquito net.
An Evening With Pakistan Ambassador
An evening with the Pakistan Ambassador in Germany Mr. Shahid Kamal in Rostock.
Got Iran Visa!
Hurrah! My passport is back with a visa for Iran. After sending out my application, I waited seven months to get the visa.
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.
You Are Always Late
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.
New Sunglasses
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.
Keep Your Head Cool And Feet Warm
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.
Still shopping
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!
Now it’s public! A newspaper article about my upcoming 10,000 km bicycle journey from Germany Pakistan published in Ostsee Zeitung.
Finally Got The Turkey Visa
Finally, received my 30 day transit visa for Turkey. Now, need to apply for Iran visa.
Getting a vaccination
Today I got a vaccination for Rabies to protect myself against Rabies virus in dog bites. I took this picture with a GoPro camera.
