Mike Anderson,a true traveler has passed away..
Andy and I met Mike in 2008 in Mazatlan in Mexico. He had announced on the HUBB that he would stay there to celebrate New Years Eve and invited other travelers to come as well, so we did. I expected an young BMW rider from Scotland, speaking with a brought Scottish accent, which would remember us of home. We were so surprised to meet a well traveled, very strong willed Kiwi, who could speak Spanish and walked with a stick. I was only right about the BMW.. He was back in Mexico to visit the people in the hospital who had helped him after a big bike accident.
Through the years we would visit each other or the mini Highland meets now and then and talk about many things. Last year he did a presentation at Donington Park and enjoyed the event very much.Mike was very well traveled; he had been to the America's, Africa and had just been back from a long trip in the far East. He was already planning his next trip. Last Sunday he would visit us, but never turned up. We can't get our head around the fact that we won't see him again, but we will remember him very much as a great example of traveling at an older age. Lots of will power there. He was almost 70 and not ready to start 'staring at a geranium'. Rest in Peace Mike, with respect, Andy and Maya Berwick.
