Well things have been sorting themselves out, slowly. What have I been doing, well, what I said I would do, bugger all "I'm on holiday". Of course things happen on holiday so here is some of them.
So yes I have been to another Rider Mania, Had a birthday, and got tickets home.....
"YES I Am Coming Home." this time.
I fly on the 13th from Bangalore and end up in NZ on the 16th. I will be in New Zealand till the 24th of Jan and hope to make my way around the north island and see everyone. On the 24th Jan I will fly to Melbourne and start looking for work, bit broke now lol...
So to recap...
Insurance: $3US for a 12month Vietnam insurance. I only had to present documents at borders and to 1 police man and the insurance was not questioned. Yes the insurance would not work if there was an accident but it is valid enough to show the police.
Countries: Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Loas
Kilometers: 6,200km About that as no speedo so used google maps to work it out.
Leg 1.1: Holiday in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka
Insurance: Rentals so covered (maybe)
Kilometers: 1,759km, Total 7,959km
Insurance: $9US for 12month India insurance, was only looked at the border.
Countries: India and Nepal
Kilometers: 15,000km, Total 22,959km
Insurance: $370US for 12months, it still wouldn't have covered me but it did keep the police happy. Only ever showed them when getting Tax for the bike. Got a $90US refund when I cancelled the policy.
Countries: England, France, Belgium, Netherland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Litherania, Poland, Luxemburg, Wales, Ireland, Scotland.
Kilometers: 22,000km, Total 44,959km
And the latest
Leg 4: India and Nepal, Again
Bike: Royal Enfield Bullet 350 called Faith (by previous owner)
Cost: $1100US in Goa. Sold: Not yet
Insurance: ran out a while ago did not get any more.
Countries: India, Nepal
Kilometers: 21,000km, Total 66,000km (ish lol)
I find it funny that I spent 6 month riding Australia and did 32,000km now have done around one and a half years in India and done 32,000km lol. There is a bit more in India then Australia though.
Well what do you say after all that. "Did anyone want anything? I'm on the way back from the shops."
