kelevra

Nu promit inca, mai am de clarificat ceva. In principiu ma tenteaza. Km estimativ? Cazare undeva? sau e dintr-o buca'?

Clar! La intoarcere poate ne vedem pe undeva la un pahar de povesti. Cu totii!

Problema a fost rezolvata. Mi-am luat echipament de munte de la Himalaya (goretex, 3 straturi ), si o sa=mi iau protectiile peste. Halleluya! Cria, cu siguranta mai vorbim .

Merci mult. Eu am reusit sa iau o zi de concediu si plec de vineri. Ne vedem acolo!

Scuze daca ma repet, dar am spus undeva ca e sfarsitul musonului, in New Delhi sunt vreo 40 de grade in medie, cam ploua, si ajung la 5602 m, unde sunt cateva grade minus noaptea? Ca de-aia sunt asa in pana de idei.... Bonus: e sezon de febra Dengue, deci trebuie sa ma feresc si de tantari.

E scris pe undeva? Poate ma lipesc si eu de voi.

Errrr, nu chiar. N-am reusit niciodata sa-mi iau concediu asa mult. Dar exista intotdeauna o "prima data", nu? Mesaj completat Va multumesc pentru sfaturile de pana acum. Credeti ca puteti sa-mi dati idei si cam ce gen de echipament sa iau cu mine? Am combinezon de piele, si geaca textila, ghete inalte ghete scurte, manusi de piele (3 variante, cu fara protectii, iarna vara), genunchiere si armura. Astea doua din urma pica, n-am loc in bagaje de ele. Astept idei si sugestii. Multam.

Cred ca vin si eu.

La anu' mai spre iarna planuiesc o Patagonia. Daca ma intorc din India. Biletul pana in Buenos Aires este 860 de euro, apoi este o cursa interna spre Bariloche (27 de dolari), apoi cu motociclete de teren (Honda XR 400) se ajunge in Puerto Madryn, de unde e cursa interna pana in Buenos Aires (tot in jur de 30 de dolari). Pretul e undeva la 2000 de dolari de caciula, ei asigura tot, inclusiv echipament si saci de dormit. Nu am detalii despre perioada, pentru ca inca nu m-am hotarat exact. http://www.dirtbikespatagonia.com/main.html Daca mai sunt doritori va rog sa-mi dati un semn pe PM. Am atasat si documentul cu info. Mesaj completat Nimerica? Mesaj completat Resusucitez topicul, deoarece incep sa caut oferte. Acum ca s-a dovedit ca nu glumesc ( ), poate ma luati in serios si va ganditi la Patagonia. Perioada va fi undeva sfarsit de decembrie, inceput de ianuarie 2010-2011.

N-am plecat inca, plec pe 25 septembrie

Cea mai stupida faza care mi s-a intamplat pana acum. Spun stupida, pentru ca dansurile irlandeze in fata motorului executate cu gratie de caini si pisici pe la Cocarjatii Cotiturii nu se compara in prostie cu acelasi diafan balet executat de un om in toata firea pe un bulevard din centrul Bucurestiului. Cu 3 benzi. Gol (in acea secunda). Cu trecere de pietoni 20 m mai incolo. Revenind: azi am iesit prima data in viata mea fara armura, doar cu cotiere (genunchiere, manusi si casca obligatorii si bai difolt). In primii 500 de m: caine, bou dat cu spatele pana la jumatea strazii, blonda tipicacare nu se uita in oglinda din dreapta si schimba banda. Ma rog, astea subtireanu, se putea si mai rau (o portiera deschisa in fata m-ar fi coafat mai finutz). Fac stanga pe Basarabiei, plecand prima de la semafor, merg pe banda 2 (pe prima niste masini pe avarii). Merg vreo 50 de m, cand vad un nene hotarat sa treaca strada. Il claxonez lejer, sigura ca se va opri. Ei bine, nu. Claxonul icneste a "acusha ma ard, nebuno". Nea Ciumafaie canci. NICI NU A SCHITAT GESTUL SA SE UITE. Merge impasibil, dar incepe un fel de balet a la pisatu' boului. Moment in care realizez ca e unul din acele momente cosmice, cand Shoemaker-Levi intalneste Jupiter in mod inexorabil. Ma uitam, calculand traiectorii, fara sa-mi dau seama pe unde dreaq sa ocolesc idiotu (toate aceste manevre fiind acompaniate de schimbat antaia si franat cu spatele, sa fim intelesi). Hotarasc ca prin spate e cel mai logic, bushesc ghidonul spre dreapta, mobra are suficienta viteza si contravireaza maiestuos spre stanga dar NU! Bipedul misterios se opreste brusc si, FARA SA SE UITE face un pas in spate. Moment in care m-am urcat pe frana spate si am apelat cu incredere si la sora ei cu doua discuri. Roata mea spate a hotarat brusc ca a merge in linie e prea banal, si ca ar putea incerca sa faca o spirala sau ceva. Deja simteam pietonii de pe margine fosnind pungile de popcorn si asezand mai bine ochelarii 3d pe nas, asteptand infrigurati sa ma tavalesc si sa fac si retardu popice. Nu stiu cum l-am evitat, dar, miraculos, am reusit. Cea mai mare bucurie a mea a fost ca n-apucasem sa inchid viziera, asa incat a auzit toate alinturile pe care i le-am servit. Stupid to the maxx.

Pai pune mana si strange-i. La anu' planuiesc o Patagonia mica.

Pentru IngerAlbastru: Scuze daca s-a inteles cumva ca m-am ofuscat sau ceva in genul. Aia cu bemveu si japoneza s-a vrut o gluma. Am apreciat intentia ta de a ma ajuta. Si-ti multumesc. Pentru Marius: eu m-am hotarat acu vreo saptamana si ceva. Am cautat bilete de avion si cand cautam pe net sa vad ce-as putea sa vad am dat de turul cu trotineta. Am scris, am primit raspuns, am dat cu banu si gata. Banu' adica am platit biletu cu salariul si acu fac fuamea, si am platit avansul excursiei cu banii stransi pentru Dereu' de 3 jumate (sa-i fie tarana usoara). Restul de bani...ma descurc eu pana in septembrie.

Ce am postat eu este un filmuletz cu imagini din traseul ales de mine. Eu am contactat toate firmele care ofera asa ceva, i-am rugat sa-mi trimita oferte si am ales cea mai buna oferta. Am avut o varianta si mai ieftina, dar nu aveam pe nimeni cu mine intre nodurile traseului. Nu am riscat chiar asa mult pentru 300 de euro cat era diferenta. Ce am ales eu ca varianta imi ofera un jeep care merge in spatele meu cu bagajele si un mecanic. Mesaj completat Nu ma pot abtine sa nu observ similitutinea intre ce scrie aici si un BMW, si ce vreau eu sa fac si o japonezana.

Uite si traseul complet : (Pt Inger Albastru: despre ce echipa vorbesti tu acolo? Stii ceva ce eu nu stiu? Adica ar fi minunat sa fie cum zici tu, dar din cate stiu eu, o sa fiu doar eu si un jip cu bagajele si un mecanic intr-insul.)

It was during Akbar's period that Agra became the center of art, culture and commerce and learning. This trend reached its height when Shah Jahan became the ruler. In the Mid 16th century and earlier 17th century Agra witnessed a frenzied building activity and it was during this time when the symbol of love Taj Mahal was built. The buildings made during this era were purely in the contemporary Mughal style and of very high quality. The same is still reflected in whatever monuments remain in Agra . The narrow lanes of Agra filled with aroma of Mughlai cuisine, the craftsman who are busy in crating master pieces with their skill all remind of the Mughal royalty which this city had once experienced. Today whatever remains, has become a major tourist attraction which has taken Agra again to the heights of glory but this time as a major tourist destination of India . Proceed for sightseeing. TAJ MAHAL one of the Seven Wonders of the World was built by Shah Jahan in 1631 AD and was completed in 1651AD. Taj Mahal - The symbol of Love was built in the memory of Mumtaz Mahal (Shah Jahan' s second Wife). AGRA FORT Built by the famed Mughal emperor Akbar in 1565 AD, the fort is predominantly of red sandstone. Ensconced within is the picture perfect Pearl Mosque, which is a major tourist attraction. Day 13 (9th Oct / Fri) : Departure Early Morning drop you at International airport to catch the flight for next destination,

Multumesc de incurajari, mai fratilor! Musonul se termina pe 15 sept (aprox), de mancat stiu cum mananca, m-am imprietenit cu o familie de medici din Bombay printr-una din peregrinarile mele. Mi-au dat prajiturele de la ei intr-o zi. Rosul nu era colorant, era boia de ardei iute. Vaccinurile sunt facute, imi iau dexametazona cu mine pentru altitudine si deocamdata fac 80-100 de bazine de 3 ori pe saptamana pentru policitemie, pana reusesc sa ma lipesc de o hiperbara ( o sa ajung la 5602 m, cel mai inalt drum practicabil cu motocicleta din lume, zic ei). Mobra am vazut-o, am analizat, preconizez multiple vanatai si eventual ceva mici fracturi. Sunt medic, daca se indoaie ceva stim sa punem la loc. Cat despre conditii de gazare, am o idee vaga. Nu-s fitzoasa, dorm si-n cap, si-n aer liber, de obicei ma spal cu apa rece, nu-s friguroasa si am mancat de toate ( de la viermi mopane in Africa, la carne de cangur in Australia). Pe principiul "daca nu se zbate verde si nu are iz de putresceina" e comestibil. Da, e 3000, dar 3000 de dolari pentru 2 persoane. Pentru o persoana e 2450 de dolari, ceea ce inseamna 1720 de euro. Biletul de avion l-am luat la oferta cu 460 de euro. Hai ca nu-i dracul chiar asa de negru. Ce poate sa mi se intample?

la anu planuiesc asta: http://www.horizonte-tours.com/motorcycle/tour_extreme.html Oricum, inca nu ma avant sa postez forum nou, sa vad intai cum ma intorc din India, poate mi se ia

O idee buna. Merci.

Imi trebuie o casca M spre S, si echipament pt mine (172 cm 56 de kile). Problema ar mai fi si faptul ca ce-am probat ma supara la bust (nu radeti, e nasol - nu bustul, lol). Nu gasesc ceva special pentru fete, trebuie sa fie pe undeva. Multumesc anticipat. Tasha.

Am intrebat intai printre cunoscuti. N-a vrut nimeni. Am zis ca ar fi frumos sa intreb si aici, poate vrea cineva. E in jur de 2000 de euro cu totul (avion, motor, papa, gazare) , asigura mecanic si jeep satelit. 13 zile, Royal Enfield Bullet Electra 500 cc (deci pornire la boton, nu la manivela). Cu cat suntem mai multi, cu atat e mai ieftin. Eu merg oricum, mi-am platit deja tot, viza pe 15 august. Pentru info suplimentare astept pm. Tasha.
