Here I am in Homer, an amazing small town, with amazing small town folk, it is really laid back The campsite is at the end of the sand spit, it has a great veiw of the volcanoes at the enterance to the bay, they are active. The pub on the spit is called the Salty Dog, it’s a nice spot with money from all over stuck on the walls and ceiling, I signed and left a R 50 note on one of the rafters, so who knows in the future someone might just find it. Still travelling with Flo and Micha, we kind of cause a stir every where we stop. So from here it is off to Seward, we are kind of taking it easy. I am waiting for quotes for returning my bike to SA, but we’ll see how much it costs. May have to leave it here! The coments and feedback from you guys that read this blog has been great, at times just a few new comments mean a lot, keeps one going as people are interrested in what you’re doing. It has been a long hard trip 36600 k’s from BA to Prudhoe, I am actualy quite proud of myself for having completed it in one, many try and only a few actualy make it. It has been a fantastic experience, more than I expected, the people that I have met along the way have all been quite amazing. It is something that I will tell stories about for many years to come. So what’s next? who knows!!
It is Sunday Morning, 1700 on your Saturday, the air is crisp, but no frost, a very typical winter morning. Sounds as if you intend taking another sea day trip to Kodiak; I am only able pick out these places using ‘Readers Digest Atlas of the World’, which is great. I’m sure BMW would be interested in your bike to see how it has stood up to the Rigors of the journey, especially as it has also survived so many contrasting fuels and conditions. They might even sponser its return. Dad.
Well done bro – awesome trip. hope i get to see the pics at some stage
Howzit… Dads comment actually makes sense but probably a bit of a schlep though…One week and you are back to facing the challenge of normality!!!! Dont worry I will drink beer with you…so looking forward to hearing all the stories and seeing the photies…was thinking we should have an evening and you could do a talk and a slide show for those interested!! What do you think? Happy travels and chilling…lol Jack and Shirls
sure, when I get back I will put up fotos and update the blog and finalise the whole thing. Please pass my condolences to the Schoeman family, Trudy’s passing came as a huge shock, Take care.
Have you tried Pemican? If so, how does it compare with Biltong? Yet again, how about the Salmon; or is it too expensive? Enjoy the Denali ‘National Park’, or do you have to use the Bus Service? John Fleming, has been following your progress with envy; Joy has threatened to walk out of the door if he even considers, buying a motor bike! Dad
the salmon is really good, jerky, does’nt compare, Denali one has to go by bus, saw many grizzlies, many older bikers out and about.
Congratulations on your marvelous journey, I have just been looking at your travels on Ian and Maureens computer. have a safe journey home give my love to Michael, Fiona and family love Gillian and all the family
Well done Bruce, we have been watching from Suffolk and it has been a fantastic trip to read about and follow. Ian Maureen and all
Hey Bruce…look forward to seeing you on Wednesday, hope you enjoyed your last week! xxx
