And the Real Adventure beings!

Or at least it steps itself up a notch!

Kristi and I are in the Singapore International Airport, 5hrs from flying to Krabi, Thailand where we embark on a 6-8 week adventure of the surrounding countries. We've got no plan of action other than to arrive, and then do whatever it is we feel like doing, all while having a good time.

We've enjoyed the past 6 months in Australia, and we'll be back, in 6-8 weeks, to continue working before road tripping around Australia.

Last week, Adam Shani rolled into Perth. I first met Adam in Bogota, Colombia. He was 2ish years into his RTW trip on his BMW HP2 Super Enduro.

This is Adam(on the right) in Bogota when I met him. He eventually made it to North America and stayed with my parents just north of Seattle while I was still in Ecuador. 



This time around, he rolled within 100kms of Charlie's house in Perth, where promptly he had a catastrophic engine breakdown (suspected broken timing chain), with 172,000 Kilometers on his bike (107k miles)

He's with us now at the Singapore Airport, as he too is flying to Thailand. However, his bike has been crated, and packed, and left with a shipping agent. It's headed to South Africa where he'll collect it in the future to repair it with a second hand motor. As for Adam, he's headed to a fellow motorcycle traveler's wedding, in Chiang Mai. That man's name is Dave, from Canada on a BMW R1200GSA. After he fulfills his role as best man in the wedding, Adam is headed home to Israel. In his own words, "This part of my trip is over!". He's been on the road for 4yrs and 4months. An excellent effort!

Now, while Adam winds down this part of his adventure, Kristi and I are just winding ours up! Kristi's preparing right now as I type!



Life is good!
