My BIG Trips


Europe - Asia - Australia


Kamele During the month of october 2004 I did start my bikeride back to Australia. I thought it would have been nice to finish my cycling trips with a ride back to Australia where the cyclewheels started to turn for me in 1977.

So I started cycling in Italy and went along the alps into Austria, Slowenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Mecedonia, Serbia, Albania, Greece and Turkey. During all my long trips I learned that making plans about travelling into different countries is essential. Presently planning a big trip has become rather difficult, because we never know just where the next bombs will start flying.
I decided to go back in time and travel like I used to travel during the early days of my biketrips in 1977. Get going and see what is happening. There are just too many fanatical freaks about. They live and die for religious believes. They place bombs into markets, buildings and into crowded places in order to destroy, kill and maim. Terror and Chaos has made me think twice about where to travel and how to avoid getting sucked into it. So what`s the use of planning ahead. I cycled all the way into Turkey. From there I decided to return to Australia by plane as I had an offer to do some work.

I do not like to leave things unfinished and this trip is one of those things which I would like to finish at a later stage. Sometimes I have to set priorities in order to achieve what I need in my life. However, having stopped the ride back to Australia does not mean I`ll never finish that job.
