A plug for my book
It is called: 100,000 miles of Solitude.
It took me three years to ride my bike around the world.
It took an other two years to write a book about it.
In reality I wrote most of the stories while 'on the road', but it was not finished yet. Not by a long shot. Grammar, consistency, spelling and a serious 'is it good enough'-check. More then half the stories ended up in the trashcan. The other half needed some re-writing, but in the end I was satisfied.
It is not a complete story. No book is big enough for that and it would be boring I think. It is a collection of 'tales from the road'. Short anecdotes, strange things that happened, stupid things I did.
It is available on Internet at www.lulu.com/content/722395
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed experiencing it.
To celebrate this milestone I also completely renewed the website -www.maartensworld.com- It has a few stories from the book. Lots and lots of photos and technical info about Pam (the bike) and the route.
Ofcourse I would like to hear your opinion.
