fantastic, good you’re wearing the vest
Great movie!! I found myself watching with my fingers over my eyes. A little bit fast for me!
Great photos Tapio. Don’t let Instagram distract you from uploading to your blog. The photos here are much nicer for viewing. How is your bike and gear holding up.
Thanks. There is an update coming. For the most part stuff is holding together. I will buy some Ortlieb panniers if I do another extended tour. The Deuter ones are splitting at the seams. A little bit of gaff tape to ensure waterproofedness. Oh, and the laptop is dying, so I’m heading towards Montpellier to have it looked at.
