Se plimba omu’ linistit seara, sta gura casca langa un templu jain, mic si pierdut printre stradute, si 2 minute mai tarziu se trezeste rapit si adus cu forta (zambetelor) la un chai de casa. Cam asa am fost noi deturnati acum 2 seri. Am aterizat pe nepusa masa (la propriu, din fericire) in casa unui cuplu de localnici: el profesor, ea asistenta medicala, cu doi copii frumosi si putin rusinati.
Ne-am simtit minunat :D. Era extraordinara bucuria lor de a primi oaspeti in casa lor. Si asa ne-am facut noi prieteni :).
I look like a regular person. I live like a regular person. I even speak like a regular person (sometimes). But my inner core is made from the souls of the past nomads. I wander, I get lost, very often I get sidetracked. But I never stray too far from my nomadic core. It is who I am. I’m always looking to get past borders, limits and “no, you should not”s or “you should”s. I’m always searching, always longing, even though I know there is no end, there is no final answer. But all my quests are taking me closer to my own people: you, the other nomads of this world. And I’m always grateful when I get to meet you. You, the nomads of this world, are the fabric of true life. A shared story, a shared cup of tea or stale piece of bread from last month, a smile or just a simple welcome, a shared dream – this is what travelling is all about for me.
Welcome to my world – welcome to my fantasy.
Turns out riding a bike above 2.000 meters anywhere in the North hemisphere it's not a good idea in January, even if you're close to the Equator. The "eternal spring" moto of the Canarias applies only to the coastal areas, not to the Teide national park...That being said, we survived to tell the tale, which is good. But the clouds, the rain, the very pissed-off wind, the sleet and the around zero degrees Celsius will stick to my muscle memory forever - will never forget today's monumental shivering. The meteo said it's supposed to be a "feels like" 1 degree C, when stationary. If you ride a bike, you get a bonus of ~-10 degrees C - that's when it's a dry weather. If you add fog, rain and wind, thimgs get very interesting very fast.Anyhow, though I'll not do it ever again if I can help it, I regret nothing. Nada :D.#adventure#tenerife #canarias #rideday#getofftheratrace#teide#nature#royalenfield#royalenfieldinterceptor650 #twisties #clouds#rain#rainyday #horizontalrain#freezingcold#nofilter#tenerifeisland #teidenationalpark ...

Finally back on the saddle and higher than the clouds. Full day of riding after waking up at 6:30AM and 2 hours of bus tranzit over the twistiest comute ever. But well worth it: the RE Interceptor is a blast. Fun to ride, plenty of character and joy. Still have to work on my clutch technique as my left hand is completely numb after of the twistie roads we have tested today.Teide is amazing, but cold as... you name it. Tomorrow I'll pack all my clothes, the kitchen sink and the entire wardrobe, just to be sure :).#adventure#tenerife#Canarias#rideday#getofftheratrace#teide#nature#royalenfield#royalenfieldinterceptor650#Twisties#aboveclouds...

Not really a fan of Dubai, but this is more like it. Nice city tour, get in touch with the locals, get to see all the famous places yet at the precise time when it's not too crowded.Kudos Red Bull, this is a good one :D. ... See MoreSee Less
