Spring Cleaning: German singing boys

Beautiful doors, they're everywhere in this part of the worldThey tell us Samarqand is a beautiful city but it’s pouring rain outside and how can you see all the ancient buildings when the heavens are open and water is falling from the skies with full force? There was nothing for it but to do a bit of spring cleaning instead and for us this meant digging out all those things we’ve wanted to share with you but haven’t. Why haven’t we? Well, you know, it’s complicated. So much to do on a world bicycle tour, so little time! Anyway, finally we found the time and here you are, a spring present from us.

Our interview with six German fellows (correction: five Germans and one Lebanese, listen to the show and you may understand) who we met carrying guitars at the Iranian-Turkmenistan border. They’re hitching to Mongolia and singing along the way and they were kind enough to sing a song for us.

And as a bonus, take a look at the site of Michel, a French guy who’s staying in our hotel in Samarqand. He’s going around the world on a recumbent tricycle and his motto is one we can really identify with: don’t dream about your life, live your dream.

    My husband and I are totally enjoying your trip! Thanks so much for sharing. I cannot travel w/o bringing stuff home, so I wondered if you are able to send home treasures for when you someday decide to have a house. This thought occured to me when I started drooling over those rugs in Uzbekistan! Oh, btw, if you can, could you post a samsa recipe on the Zaar?

    Hey Guys!! I’m so happy to read your posts and know that you’re having an amazing time. Central Asia must be a great place and it seems like the people are very hospitable.

    How are your bikes holding up? The rim?

    After I saw you in Aleppo I had a awesome ride south to Jordan, with a brief sidetrip to Lebanon. I spent a few days riding with Margrit and Pius, a Swiss couple who said they had met you somewhere in Syria. http://www.joergersvelotour.ch/index_en.html

    I’m now planning to return to the Middle East to teach English. But if I can find another person crazy enough to cycle and freecamp with me..well, I guess I’ll do that!!

    Good luck to you and thanks for documenting your experiences.

    Take Care,

    Tyson

    This blog is definitely rather handy since I’m at the moment creating an internet floral website – although I am only starting out therefore it’s really fairly small, nothing like this site. Can link to a few of the posts here as they are quite. Thanks much. Zoey Olsen

    I simply desired to thank you very much once again. I am not sure the things that I would’ve used without the actual points revealed by you regarding that situation. Certainly was the alarming issue in my circumstances, but spending time with a new skilled form you handled it forced me to jump over gladness. I am just grateful for your help as well as pray you are aware of a powerful job you’re carrying out educating others by way of a web site. Probably you haven’t encountered all of us.

    I wish to express some thanks to the writer just for bailing me out of this particular setting. As a result of scouting throughout the search engines and meeting methods which are not helpful, I was thinking my entire life was done. Living devoid of the approaches to the problems you’ve sorted out as a result of your entire article is a critical case, as well as the kind that could have adversely affected my entire career if I had not noticed your site. Your actual training and kindness in maneuvering all things was excellent. I am not sure what I would have done if I hadn’t come upon such a stuff like this. It’s possible to at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time very much for the reliable and result oriented guide. I will not hesitate to suggest the website to any person who needs and wants counselling about this issue.
