Already during the night in my tent I could hear the winds picking up. At least I was mentally prepared for another day of fighting it.

After I said goodbye to Vytautas and Wan at the camp site I was once again left to myself. When people ask me what is so great about cycling, I often argue that it is just like mediation. This might not always be true – when cycling on a busy highway in Asia with crazy noise and smog levels it actually feels more like the opposite. On the other hand, today’s cycling was indeed like 8 hours of pure mediation: Apart from the head wind there is really nothing to disturb the mind out here.

I love it!
