Hey Non-Existent Followers - So here it is the night before the big plane trans-Atlantic plane ride. In about 19 hours I will be somewhere over an ocean and in 24 I will be landing on foreign soil. It's both exciting and nerve-racking, seeing as how I've never travelled outside US borders before. I just finished packing up all my gear which came out to weigh 40 pounds. Add that to a 20 pound bike and that means I'm going to be lugging around 60 pounds plus water weight all over Europe. UGH!! :/
One of the things almost everyone I've talked to has said to me is be careful, take care of yourself and come back safe. It's as if there is some general fear amongst American's that Europe isn't a safe place. Not sure how true this is but regardless of it's potential validity I'm teeming with excitement for tomorrow! Wish me luck, send me suggestions of things to see and as always, KEEP RIDING!!!
