This is the end
|
I turn the last page of that book. My story is ending now. I hope you enjoyed riding with me. I am on board the vessel (color fantazy) that is going to lead me to Oslo, the place where this whole thing has started. the 11th of march 2009, I am back the 6th of November 2009. I've been ridding 13262 km and spending 831 hours on my brooks. I've crossed 22 country and ride from winter to winter. Took all the transportation possible: train, horse camel donkey plane, bus, car trucks and even walking, but the main was biking! As Ozan told me: "You went knocking at china's door, nobody open, so you turned back...", I don't regret my choice a single second. I am just a bit bitter that I didn't cross that border, but the slow felling of getting back is something I can't put words on it... You have to live it... I don't know if I have found the answers to all the question I was asking to myself, but I have seen a lot, I have discover a lot. And there is a lady, English teacher, in a small village in Turkmenistan, just before the desert that said to me: "You must be really bored in your cities full of light and people in the western world to come here, by bicycle, in the east, to see how we are leaving in our small places..." I still see this lady in my mind, and she was so true. I send a big thanks to all the persons that has been helping me, that has meet me, or even anoyed me, to all the ones that has supported me by email or post on my blog, by sharing a tea or a piece of bread. To all the kids that were running with me, or playing with me, to all the people that has greeted me and all the ones that has hosted me, ride with me and laugh with me. All those day outside or inside, from bad to good weather. But now I am happy to get home and see all the people I love. This journey make me understand that I live in a wonderful place with wonderful people. The boat will be there at 10am on Friday the 6th of November... Spread the word! See you tomorrow. Jeff |

| It is fantastic that you have made your great plan come true. It is a victory for yourself and the idea that it is possible to contribute to the development of poor areas by actively doing something yourself. I was impressed by the idea when you started it, but even more now when I see it is completed so successfully. I really look forward to see you here in Oslo again. |

| Every body understands that life seems to be not cheap, nevertheless different people need cash for various things and not every person gets big sums cash. Thence to receive some <a href="http://bestfinance-blog.com/topics/business-loans">business loans</a> and just student loan will be a correct solution. |
