April 9th, 2010. I am in Göttingen now, staying with my Hungarian friend Balazs. I arrived yesterday, after three full days of battling head winds and hills. Untrained as i am right now, things will progress as i continue east. Once i get used to the daily cycling, i will then laugh about these silly little hills, or so i hope! So how were the first three days? The monday morning I was escorted out of town by my dad after and emotional goodbye to my mum and girlfriend Barbara. Luckily, the Easter skies had cleared after a rainy Sunday, and i had the most perefect weather one could have wished for. The first night out camping was chilly, i had frost on my tent. The second and third day were fine, however, getting to Göttingen took me longer than expected and i only arrived here at 10 in the evening. Tomorrow, Balazs will accompagny me for one or 2 days. I hope to arrive in Tychy, Poland, in one week time, were i will stay with my former cycling buddy Marc before making my way to the Ukrainian border.
Plans have changed My plans have slightly changed. I am meeting Barbara in Beijing on august 15th. So instead of cycling through mother Russia in 3 months, I will take the train from the Ukrainian border to I don´t know where yet, and start from there... This means that i can spend more time in Australia or another country.
