Wrong way to Kathmandu I should say.

Was sitting in a small town Florida bar, had a few too many (those old people mix em strong!), and that Bob Seger "Katmandu" song came on. Seemed like a great idea, just to say you've driven to Kathmandu. So...
We started the trip about a month ago to ride our Ural from Papua New Guinea to Kathmandu, Nepal.
That was the plan in general anyway. We've started in the wrong direction. Began in Indonesia and drove away from Nepal. But will still go to PNG then back across Indo to Nepal. The going has been slow. We may not make Nepal at all. Or we we may get there and decide to keep going all the way back to Russia. The only limitation is our patience and endurance.

It felt weak to post anything before we had some miles behind us. So it's been a month now and we've made it from Jakarta to Bali. We're slow travelers you see.

I write poorly and mostly for my own memory. Some thoughts may be unrefined, blunt, or offensive.

Encouragement, comments, and angry rants all welcome and appreciated.

I wanted to post something here because the HU website and videos have been such a big help to us. Will post updates here every so often but will be keeping the main thread at ADV rider.
