Might be the perfect destination. Great riding, people, food, drivers, and prices. We will be back!

Czech Republic
We really have only see Prague, which is very nice, but we will need to explore this country more next year on the way east.

Nice overall
Wow, with what you said about Italy I am wondering what you would think about Kyrgyzstan. The trash problem here is so bad that I normally clean up my camp site before setting up my tent. Much of the time there is broken glass everywhere and plenty of plastic trash too. It sounds like we could say the Kyrgyz drivers are like the Italians just on steroids. I have been chased off my side if the road and still hit, by a drunk. While driving in the States this last summer for 30 days and just under 2000 miles I never had one close call. Here it is every day and several times. Still I would say Kyrgyzstan has some very wonderful rides and some great people. As you know, all over the world there are both good and bad people. If all the roads were the same there would not be a reason to travel.
As always, thanks for your time to share your wonderful photos and your travels.
Mac

Fantastic ride report
Happy new Year and may 2017 bring many MilesofSmiles
This report is my "goto" report to pass the lunch hour at my desk. Top notch report and fantastic pictures. It is inspiring me to repair the ol 990 Adventure and do some traveling.
Looking forward to the upcoming ride reports.

Thanks so much. We completed 6 weeks of walking the Camino de Santiago. We are now home in Vancouver for Winter and are back on the road May1.

Tajikistan electronic Visas have arrived! Our passports are at the Russian Consul this week and we are hoping their Mr. Putin will grant us the multi-enty Russian visa we requested! Fingers crossed.

Coming together nicely
Looks like things are coming together for you two. I should be in Tajikistan first part of June. I hope I won't miss you in Kyrgyzstan.

I hope not! We will be to Kyrgyzstan in mid July. The blog will likely be behind our actual location. So you can message at sara@worldwideride.ca daniel@worldwideride.ca too!
Would be great to visit you at your Mission.
Cheers Sara

Well it’s time to get back on the road again now that spring has sprung the sun is shining! We have been home working in Vancouver for the winter. This is work work and as well a ton of hours with planning, emails, and paper work for the next leg of the trip. There have literally been hundreds of emails. Daniel has been the point man for all 4 of us.
