Around noon I have an appointment with the company that will send my motorcycle to Kuala Lumpur by cargo plane. I have been in contact with a young guy who works for the company via Whatsapp for some time now. I am therefore somewhat surprised that an older man walks into the guesthouse where I am staying….

I want to leave early today because I have a long drive ahead of me. In terms of navigation, it will be a piece of cake, because there is only one road, 200 km long, through the mountains from Pokhara to Kathmandu.

Fog is also predicted for the next cold morning, so I decide not to visit the Taj Mahal early in the morning, but in the afternoon. It's the weekend and extremely busy at the entrance. The building in front of the entrance is already very nice, but when I walk under it and see the Taj Mahal in the…

According to DHL's track and trace code, my new credit card is with the local carrier, but the dates of all steps show that it is the airport. So that will take a while and I will fill my days with walking, sitting in the sun, washing the engine and everything I no longer need…

I'm going to celebrate New Year's Eve at Tourist Pension in Nawalghar, the place where I was so well taken care of when I was sick and where my packages would arrive. But things don't go quite as planned with the packages, unfortunately. Due to an error at the credit card company, my new card was not sent until Dec 28….
