1.The first podcast is ready and out!

They should now come out every 2 weeks and follow our travels over the 3 month period!

2. So far we have been on the road for 52 days.

3.We have ridden through 6 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey!)

4. We plan on riding through Greece, Albania, Croatia and Slovenia on the way back for sure, maybe Italy and Switzerland? Maybe back through Austria straight to Germany? Who knows???

5.I have found out Youtube is blocked in Turkey! (So I cant actually see the podcast, I just had a friend send me the embedding code.) :P

6. I have now driven 7692 kilometers on Betty to date on this trip!

The day we started:

Now she has almost 24000!

7.So far we have been able to stick to our budget of 30 Euros a day each (with gas)

8.Gas is between 1.80 and 1.90 in EUROS per LITRE here in Turkey. Ouch!

9. I have taken shelter in a random monastery during a thunder and lightening storm for the night! (and woke the monk up to do so)

10.We made it to our destination of Mt. Nemrut and it was even better than I had expected it to be.

11.Myself and Patrick are still friends. ;)

12.This is my first big trip, and I passed my test one week before we hit the road.

13. There is no way this is my last trip, as it has been amazing!!!
