30 000 km and again somewhere superhot. 10k in the desert in Peru, 20k in northern Australia and now 30k on the northern edge of Taklamakan desert near Turpan (Xinjiang – China).
The area there lies 150 m below sea level, which makes it even hotter!
Well, to be honest, the pictures are fake news. They are [...]
That’s it I’m out!
It took a while to get out of China. Seven weeks for the 4000 km from Chengdu to Kazakhstan. The provinces Sichuan and Gansu were very mountainous. Sichuan is green and fertile. Once rolling over the mountain pass into Gansu, it got much dryer and dusty.
Right at the first day I met [...]
Just wanted to give a little report about my trip through the south of China. More specific the provinces Yunnan and Sichuan. After climbing a lot in Laos and Vietnam it continued the same way in China. My first cycling stretch into China was flat though, over the foot bridge from Lao Cai (Vietnam) to [...]
Lao
Lao is the sleeping beauty of Southeast Asia. Quiet, relaxed and pretty basic. Fantastic mountain landscapes and in the middle the Mekong river as the main north south connection route.

At the moment I am stranded here in Thailand for a little winter holiday. The beach is quiet away though. Because of the heat I went as far north as possible and found a little paradise called Chiang Mai. It’s “colder” here and you have everything you need to hang out a bit. As I [...]
Three weeks ago I entered Malaysia by ferry coming from Singapore. Immigration worked quick and with no delays. I got a 90 days visa right at arrival. The day I came into Malaysia was “Malaysia Day”. Everywhere Malaysian flags. Both parts of Malaysia (the one in Asia main land and the one in Borneo) joined [...]
Made the jump to Asia. Four hours in the plane and it was done. After fixing my bike I faced the first challenge, cycling out of Singapore Airport. Once I survived that it all went super easy. Singapore is a very clean and organized city. There are some cycling paths and once it gets a [...]
Still managed to fill up the 20000km here in Australia! Happened short before entering my final destination in the top end of the northern territory in Darwin.

Culture shock, a bad hostel and cold and rainy [...]
