Als ervaren fietsreizigers dachten we alles wel in huis te hebben voor welke reis dan ook. Maar dit jaar gaat dat niet op.

This is the World Tour section of our website. From july 1987 until july 1989 we made our world tour by bike. In two years we cycled almost 30.000 kms through Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. It’s a long time ago, so you won’t find any practical information here. But you can still enjoy […]

“He asks you to lower your pants”, vertaalt onze gastheer in Karakol. We zijn in een spreekkamer van het provinciale ziekenhuis van Karakol. In de hoek staan roestige emaille emmers, allemaal met een deksel erop. Achter het slordig dichtgetrokken douchegordijn zitten nog tien andere wachtenden. De jonge arts trekt een paar wegwerphandschoenen aan en inspecteert […]

Nowadays we prefer “far away countries”, although we do make shorter trips in Europe frequently. maybe we’ll report about that some day. Now we limit ourselves to that “far away country” in […]
