After completing our The Americas adventure we mistakenly believed that we would not undertake any more vehicle based travel outside North America and with that mind set, in 2011 just after OverlandExpo, we purchased a used 2008 Earthroamer. However as plans .... read more
Motorcycle Adventures
In 2015 on our annual return to the US, I Robert, decided to get myself a motorcycle license (my first ever experiences with motos) and a year later (again on our annual return to the US) I bought my first motorcycle a 2011 BMW1200 GS. That same year that motorcycle presented me with a broken leg and thats why we did not return to Europe that year. It was probably inevitable .... click this link to read more.

Motorcycle Adventures Round Australia
On May 16th of this year (2025) I (Rob) set out to ride a motorcycle solo and unsupported around Australia.
I expect the journey will cover 14,000-15,000 km, and and last something like 8 to 12 weeks. The route will be clockwise around the continent from Sydney and will try to largely avoid the coastal regions of the country. To the extent possible this will be an outback expedition.

Journal entry for Saturday 18th Apr, 2026 (day 59, miles 0)
I spent the day still recovering from yesterdays food poisoning episode so did not participate in todays tour. The ship docked at Port Grande in the city of Mindelo on the island of San Vincente one of 10 volcanic islands that make up the country of Cape Verde, located in the central Atlantic Ocean. From Nina's description the town still had an African feel, with lots of dark skinned people wearing wonderful brightly coloured clothes. There was a general more prosperous feel probably coming from the lack of rubbish and better maintained buildings and roadways. A wonderful example of the effort that the island community has put into building things is the top 5 km section of the road to Mount Verde at over 2500ft. This road is made of hand laid flat stones, providing a relative flat driving surface and is in good conditions. However as a passenger trying to take photos from the bus is was extremely bumpy. We could not find out why this construction technique was used as a hot-mix road would have been a lot less work. See the photo labelled "Rocky Road".
