  Cool kids can’t die («Ya! So what about kool old guys?»

Picture
On the way to Madiun from Solo. Lawu mountain road.

​And We are Off.......... My bike and I


The seven commandments of my voyage are:
Be Aware, Stop, Look, Listen, Enjoy, Learn and Take Pictures.



Picture
​ I was told that caravans before partaking on a long journey, would leave at the end of the day and settle a few kilometers from the place of departure. This way they could verify that everything was ok and that some kid did not forget his battery charger! So for the first day I travelled slowly to the city of Madiun, 100 kilometers from Solo
 
Good morning Carl.
Safe trip.
​ Enjoy Ya!

PictureSeen from the balcony of the house in Solo city. 6:00 a.m.
Early on Tuesday
the 6 th of June, I left the house in Solo.


Direction: Madiun



PictureSolo to Madiun 100 Kilometers
​



PictureSelamat Jalan / Bon voyage
​​

​On the way to Madiun, I stopped at the
ART HOUSE. The local kids, who were bathing in the river nearby, joined in the photograph.

Picture
Someone from the village placed flowers on the motorbike seat.

Faster and safer on fasting days


Picture
​I am  travelling during the month of Ramadan.
​Because most people are fasting, many warungs and restaurants are closed. So the roads are not busy till sunset. Making for safer driving.

But...Careful driving at sunset

But an hour or so before sunset, thousands of people will hit the road on motorbikes and cars and congregate around the many food stalls created for the closing of the day of fasting. ​I will be one of the revellers.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

JUST START OFF / And let  the adventure carry you away.
