After a whirlwind and often seemingly impossible week we are off! For anyone planning their wedding a note of warning: Do not plan your wedding and then leave for a six month cycling trip across the world the week following the big event, as well as preparing the apartment for a renter. It has sanity and health hazards that are slightly unpredictable and may lead to zombie states and incomprehensible attempts at speaking. We knew it was going to be hectic, but this exceeded our expectations and now we are on the verge of departure and ready to fall out of our socks out of tiredness. That beach hut does sound nice right now!
First we fly to Chengdu, China on a night flight, stay there for one night and then on to Lhasa, Tibet where we (thankfully!) have to acclimatize for three days before heading to higher altitudes. Acclimatization sounds like heaven right now because to us it means sleep!
The picture on the right is what our living room looked like as we were packing (and this is just a small part of the apartment, which when taking a 360 degree view looked as if the whole place had thrown up on itself). Lia, Maggie and Reinier stopped bye to say goodbye and decided it was necessary to post this with our first blog, because this is where it all starts.
