It was quite a trip for me. Starting in Copenhagen through Berlin, Warsaw, L'viv, Kiev and finally Odessa. im not sure if i would have made it without the assistance ov so many great people in the face ov adversity. The time we spent talking and sharing stories was grand. Waking up on the nudist/gay beach was a treat both days(those who were there know what i mean). The weather was perfectly sunny and only a drop or two ov rain. There were less people than Paris 888, but those that did show up are die-hard fans ov the sport. For that is what it is, a sport. To take a train or bus coming from a western state is not so expensive, but by standing on the motorway for hours or minutes, as the case may be, proves the dedication ov the people. Many new friendships were formed and i hope lasting ones. im the first to admit there were some negative aspects to this trip and next year(where ever it may be) i hope they will be less so. Some ov you are still on the road returning to what we call "home". Though most ov us consider our rucksack home. As i sit and wait for a new passport in Kiev, i think ov you all and hope to see you again next year. So please everyone, lets swap photos so the dreams stay alive and we promote this sustainable way ov travel for years and decades to come.
Fast Rides and Interesting Drivers,
