Epic episode. You're living THE life! Wonderful to 'travel' with you and see all these wonderful places. Reminds me of Corsica a bit. Your editing is getting better each episode, you must be multi-talented. Have a good time and safe kilometers!
i feel the same when i cycled across north africa, through europe and parts of the middle east in the early 80's, then backpacking in Aus for a year a few years after, so glad i know the difference too, coz wherever you go now both home and abroad you usually just feel like you're being skanked at every opportunity, 'coz they can'. Youngsters have grown up & got used to it, but yeah, things were much better in every way, & it's not just nostalgia talking, GL and keep going m8
Hi Bob, what an experience you've had 😊 and such a privilege. It's sad that no one can now have the same experience, but amazing that you did. I'm hopeful I'll be seeking out and finding some 'old world' traditional places and people along my journey. In fact, I think I already have. How long they'll last against the tide of mass tourism, who knows? Thank you so much for sharing and coming along with me ☺️
@@projectmidlifecrisis i think anyone who has travelled for an extended time and more than a holiday has stories to tell, and you get a better feel for the country when you work there for a while if you can too. while i have many tales myself and like to relay them from time to time as we all do, (and try not to bore people too much haha) i felt like a day tripper compared to some people i met with incredible tours behind them, some continuous for years. while theres always things you just have to see and do, I always preferred back then, and still do now, visiting non tourist areas where no-one really goes, such as the spanish interior, or the rif mountains in morocco, staying in tiny villages where u don't know what to expect that look like something out of a western. Apart from it being more budget friendly, the people tended to be more friendly and interested in helping you, and maybe their day was brightened up a little by a mad english kid on a pushbike, just as mine was by them, & you don't really get this in bigger towns and cities as you know.

Hi Rod, it's good to keep some mystery, don't you think? All will be revealed (mostly) in good time 😄 I really don't know about the bouncy front wheel. A professional just this week made some adjustments to the bike (a future episode) and releasing some tension from the front forks was part of that. So, time will tell. I think I'm ready for some new tyres anyway.
