First two days of the trip were tough. Left at 4:30AM to catch the ferry, and was up until about 10PM for a cold night’s sleep in the forest. Then a simple but not very interesting 500km to reach my first stop, Geoffrey (who I first met on our trip around France in 2009), by early afternoon.
Geoffrey’s hospitality has been much better than the weather, so the plan is to head south again after staying here for a week.

Starting this Friday 17th, I’m going to be spending some time riding my motorbike around Europe.
Pictured below is everything I’m taking—except for the camera I took the photos with—and everything I need to ride, camp, work, eat, swim, hike, etc. It also happens to be the majority of what I still own.
With this trip I’m going to try something new and post more regular and complete updates as I go, rather than come back with a pile of photos to sort through. Check back soon…
I’ve shot one roll of film since I’ve been back.

I'll be spending the coming months travelling around Australia. On the way here I had a layover in Hong Kong, where I took a few photos.
Waiting for connections; the hot American night; the end.
