I began my healthy adventures in 1972 traveling all over the world by bike. Today I am 69 years old and still going strong. It is never to late to live a healthy active life and be your own healthy adventurer.
To level the ground, Herbert produced a little shovel and even a hammer. Over the cleared area he spread a tarp and then pitched his tent that was three times larger than mine. Then with the light from his headlamp he made the inside homey. While he cooked a soup over a burner, he offered me a seat cushion and we listened to the news in German on his short wave radio. That to me was traveling in style.
I said good-bye shortly after daybreak. Since he rode faster than I, I hoped we would meet again. I left messages here and there for him, but alas we never reconnected. – It rained when I arrived in Katherine, after Alice Springs the largest community en route. I gathered information at the well-equipped Tourist Bureau. After restocking food supplies at a modern shopping center, I embarked on a promising side trip to the Katherine Gorge in the Nitmiluk National Park. By changing direction I not only had to face the rain but also strong headwinds for the next 30 km. To be continued…
Peace, joy and health,
Hans
