The beginning of the beginning

After a hellish night bus back up from Delhi to MacLeodganj that included broken seats, windows that opened themselves throughout the night and a distinct lack of warm clothes on my front, we are now set to begin the task of cycling back that short distance to Ireland.

My bike is oiled, the breaks appear tight and my panniers are half packed (in my usual fashion). Visas are in passports, cash is in the wallet and fears of so-called extremist islamic states are put to one side. I would like to state here that the decision to continue into Pakistan and Iran is choice made entirely on my own. WaterAid, nor any of the sponsors thus far have any responsibility for anything regarding this trip.

And with that little disclaimer aside, I can say that I am excited about the next leg. Nervous, yes, but excited all the same. It should be an easy 2 days to the border, with a little stopover to see the Golden Temple in Amaritsar, then good food a go go!!

As you have already caught me on FB this week I thought I would read this through my lunch time instead! It's very informative a complete guide on what not to do when abroad...! Still sounds like amazing fun though fella. Good luck in Pakistan.

Cheers,
