Back in Poland
| That is it, I am back on my own trace. Today I am going to be in Warsaw for some days. I am now in Lublin, wonderfull city, enjoying a piece of cake and a coffe. The feeling is very wiered, I've been ridding to central asia and back, each time people were asking me if I am going to ride back, I always said "NO!!! are you crazy, the way in is enough". But then things turn out that I am doing it. It is strange to see how things change from a border to an other. And poland is the real first capitalist country I enter since I left Turkey. It is funny to see how things evolute, I looked back to the pics, gather all what I saw during those last 7 month, and look how on the earth things are different from a border to another. The changes are slow when you bike, and at the bigining we had the excitement of the start. I am more peaceful now and my vision is a bit different, and also I am able to compare what exist in Europe to what is not in Central Asia. I still have 11 days of ridding since I reach the end of my trip, I may not ride Poland as I want to enjoy the cost of the North see in Germany, and also the ridding in Poland is not enjoyable, there is a awful trafic, and no bike lanes. Germany may be better and I am going to take detours up there. I found out also that at the end of my trip I will have ride the distance from Oslo to Hong Kong! Not bad! Stay tuned a little bit more, the story is not over, soon but not yet. Jeff |

My dear Jeff,
I know you are in Poland and that your are going through Germany etc etc and that Little Sofie (3 years old) fell in love with you. But I also like to hear your stories and not the 2nd hand ones! Big hugs and bon courage pour les dernieres kilometres. Bisous Barbera |

| Bonjour, le 28 novembre à 18h30, l'association village des records de Châteauneuf les Bains remettra un chèque à votre association. Marion Gauvin vous représentera. Néanmoins nous réfléchissons à la possibilité d'établir un contact avec vous pour cette occasion, par skype ou téléphone. Qu'en pensez-vous ? Marie Coquart |

we are still following you with excitement from Turkey. I admire your strong mental that you have still the power and the desire to ride your bike after 7 months and after so many difficulties. It is really unbelievable. You have managed something that most of us can also not have in our dreams.
Regards and wish you best
