Adventure on the Silk Roads: Sichuan
http://silkroadsbybike.blogspot.com/2008/10/sichuan.html
Adventure on the Silk Roads. Vrijdag 24 oktober 2008. Over de hoge bergpassen van West-Sichuan. Onze weg voert in een zuidwestelijke richting ove. R het Tibet plateau richting Yunnan Province. Onze reisgids zegt over deze route het volgende:. The Sichuan-Tibet Highway is one of the world's highest, roughest, most dangerous and most beautiful roads. As yet there isn't much in the way of tourist facilities.". Echt een weg voor ons dus. Het resultaat van deze keuze is een eenvoudige opsomming:. Vermoeid dal...

Adventure on the Silk Roads: Laos
http://silkroadsbybike.blogspot.com/2008/12/laos.html
Adventure on the Silk Roads. Dinsdag 16 december 2008. Jewel of the Mekong. We dachten dat Yunnan al overgangsgebied was, maar zodra we de grens naar Laos passeren weten we heel precies waar de overgang ligt: exact daar. Aan Chinese zijde een en al bedrijvigheid en modernisering, in Laos slapende mensen in hangmatten en armoedige bamboehuisjes. Waar in China een een-kind politiek heerst, lijkt hier een wedstrijdje aan de gang te zijn. Per boot gaan we over de Ou en deels over de Mekong naar Luang Prabang...

Adventure on the Silk Roads: Laos
http://silkroadsbybikeenglish.blogspot.com/2009/02/laos.html
Adventure on the Silk Roads. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Jewel of the Mekong. We thought Yunnan was a transition phase but as we pass the Lao border we know where transition is complete: exactly there! At the Chinese side people are industrious and modernising, in Laos people sleep in hammocks and simple bamboo huts. While China enforces a one-child policy, the Laotians seem to be in some kind of competition. Thinks that someone who has left for the same boat has forgotten his clothes at the guesthouse a...

Adventure on the Silk Roads: Thailand
http://silkroadsbybikeenglish.blogspot.com/2009/04/thailand.html
Adventure on the Silk Roads. Thursday, April 16, 2009. Is a great country for a holiday, specially for worn-out cyclists like us. The last months we have dragged ourselves through difficult moments with visions of Thai beaches, beach resorts and great food with English menus. More than lived up to the expectations, it was fantastic. The other 24 days in. We are in for other activities: celebrate New Years Eve in. This truly is a reward after so much hardship! We want to kayak at night! Never cycled aroun...

Adventure on the Silk Roads. Thursday, April 16, 2009. These efforts were tougher than we hoped for. In this case more mentally than physically.

The next morning we charter a truck to take us up to the. Our very last stage is a (not so deserved) downhill, and a long one with fantastic views of the misty jungle and the large tea plantations.

Adventure on the Silk Roads: Gansu & Sichuan, China
http://silkroadsbybikeenglish.blogspot.com/2008/11/qinghai-gansu-china.html
Adventure on the Silk Roads. Friday, November 14, 2008. Gansu and Sichuan, China. A Taste of Tibet. The reasons they gave us: bad road, bad weather, landslides even the earthquake do not make sense at all. We suspect it's all about problems with the Tibetan people living in this area. Luckly we can put our tent between 350 yaks on the grass. In the tent of the Tibetan family we're having some yak butter tea like in Tadjikistan. That area has been closed since march! Labels: 4.

Adventure on the Silk Roads: Yunnan
http://silkroadsbybikeenglish.blogspot.com/2008/12/yunnan.html
Adventure on the Silk Roads. Friday, December 26, 2008. Right on time we are out of the mountains: we have snow in the morning in Shangri-La. The narrow streets, lantarns and wooden houses give us a Christmas feeling. But it does not matter, from here we expect things to get warmer and easier, well? After pushing and carrying our bikes on a small trail down we get to this smallest ferry to cross the Yangtse. Luckily, there's a horse on the other side to carry our bags up the bank. On the way to Lijiang w...

Adventure on the Silk Roads: Thailand
http://silkroadsbybike.blogspot.com/2009/02/thailand.html
Adventure on the Silk Roads. Dinsdag 3 februari 2009. Thailand is een prachtig vakantieland, in het bijzonder voor uitgebluste fietsers als wij. De afgelopen maanden hebben we ons door de moeilijke momenten heengesleept met fantasien over Thaise stranden, Beach-resorts en lekker eten met Engelstalige menukaarten. Thailand heeft de verwachtingen meer dan waargemaakt. Toch fietsen we al met al 1200km in Thailand in 13 fietsdagen, ve. Na vier dagen kayakken in kalm, tropisch water brengen we een idee op aan...
