On the way ! Preparing to cycle !
We are still here in Amsterdam, right now in a train coming back from Vries, where Harry ‘s mother and sister live; and going to Amsterdam to have dinner with our old flat- mate and the neighbors ….
Harry is getting crazy with millions of things to do, most of them organizing meetings and good byes with sponsors, and mostly preparing and building a new web site and working with bookings and putting new programmes in the new little laptop we got .
But even if we are really tired things are going quite well , and we are happy with our plane ticket to Fairbanks for the 10 th of july . Really late for Alaska and going north, but we wouldn’t be ready before.
If there ‘s something I would love to do right now , is just rest and stay in the same city ( at home better) at least for one month.., just coming from Tanzania where we were for 6 weeks, we are very,very tired ; but .. we have to go and cycle faster in Alaska.. because cold weather will come soon , and we ‘ll need to be far from the pole…
So that’ what we are doing right now getting ready we have 3 days more and then we wont need anymore to worry about what things to take or about the things we didn’t had time to do. We will be there with the things we choose we got, and we can carry ( hopefully) ; and we ‘ ll start pushing our bikes into a dream trip across the Americas …
Leaving behind the comfort of the houses ( our friend ‘s house that hosted us the last months, our beloved friends and families we ‘ll cycle to discover new wonderful places, new friends, new challenges, many times a new world with different cultures that we hope is going to change us, to move us into actions to be part of that.
We ‘ll going to give to the world a big hug he will give us the best gift he can give us all his treasures, nature , freedom, seasons, wildlife, wind and sun, million of stars, mountains and beach, deserts and jungles… and the freedom to let us go …
We ‘ll see the problems the world is facing because of the global warming, and the abuse of the humans on the earth , but we ‘ll find hope in the thousands of people that is working to make it feel better.. We ‘ll do our best to be a part of the solutions and help to spread the projects we ‘ll find on the way …
I feel so grateful for this trip we can do, and for all the people that already help us. And we know that there will be a lot more people that we ‘ll meet on the way to all of them and to you that are with us right now all our love and the best.
We are tired right now but the road is calling the beautiful world is there waiting and we ‘ ll go to cycling it. See you soon, from the road !
