The story starts to get a bit darker as my mood changes:
http://patonabike.blogspot.mx/2012/0...go-panama.html Cheer me up with a donation to Unicef if you can please: http://www.justgiving.com/patrickmccarthy https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K...0/SAM_1277.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-m...0/SAM_1289.JPG |
A difficult one this time - and I�ve debated back and forth with myself for a while now whether to post it - but for completeness here it is (albeit an edited version).

Ride safe mate.
Your story is a reminder to us all that our loved ones should not be taken for granted and I just gave my kids (18 & 16!!) a hug. So sorry to hear of your loss and enjoy your journey. On a lighter note I just spent the last two days in a sales seminar in Switzerland. By far the most useful thing I did was to create a dotted line around the European map in the back of my Black n' Red book with stop overs to accomodate my European colleagues who sat around the table - I plan to go in 4 years - March 2016 - let's see if I have the knackers to do what you're doing!!! |

Your plans sounds great. I did a 14 countries in 11 days tour of Europe in 2010 - and was surprised how easy it was. Hang on to that Black n� Red book - and make it real! Cheers Pat |
I'll keep my sketchy route and develop it. Sort of a big clockwise plan starting with Scandinavia, Estonia squigling South stops in Romania, Hungary then through to Turkey, Greece, S Italy, Sicily, Corsica etc, back to Italy, Swiss, Austria, Germany etc then France quickly through to East Spain, Morocco , Spain, Portugal, France slowly - home! Told you it was sketchy. Dummy run for the Pan American as my original African dream looks a tad risky at the moment - lets see in a few years.
No more close shave stories please and I'll be visiting the UNICEF website assuming today's trip to a show in London to celebrate the end of exams doesn't bankrupt me. |
Back on the road - here is the latest from Costa Rica.

I love surprises - and Nicaragua delivered so much more than anticipated (and it was cheaper than Panama and Costa Rica!). Hope you like the latest in my ongoing scribbles.
