First time I went to Asturias in the 80th by bike I also passed the Pyrenees and there was snow on the Port de Envalira 2411m in August, but just 2 cm on the road. I enjoyed the jouney very much….
Later I made some trips there with the RGS

Here in the UK they have finally realised that the vaccines may protect you but don't stop you catching or spreading the virus. There is now no way of stopping the spread so it's going to be back to normal, protect the vulnerable and keep your fingers crossed. This has been coming out in the past few days and is likely to be the path everyone has to follow in the end. It's now obvious vaccine passports don't protect anyone and so hopefully we can start living again without the constant threat of lockdowns.

Corona is not over yet.
After a good development in Germany, the statistic-cards are turning red again in the federal states, where there have already been holidays. Many people are simply not sensible and cautious.
From May 2023 we plan to drive a Toyota HZJ78 (Bush Taxi) for 9-12 months from Germany to eastern Mongolia and back again.
With the current development, I estimate the chance at 45% that we can make the trip as planned. The effects in the poorer countries will be seen for another 3-5 years.
The developments in Afghanistan also make planning more difficult. Originally we wanted to drive the Pamir Highway, which runs right along the Afghan border.
Maybe we will have to take a Ro-Ro-ship and switch to e.g. Iceland + Canada. We will see .....

Great pic!@ Ah, memories - I cycled up that monster about 4 years ago. Pic taken in last few switchbacks to the top, ne c'est pas? You are really feeling it by that stage!
Yep. Suddenly in that corner, two desirable tanned young ladies, one with a camera and the other with a sign giving the address of their shop.
Can't resist.

If the yellow peril was parked outside that shop it'd be a calendar shot.

What a minute! ................... I think Mo visited that restaurant on the Flying Kangaroo.
Look close, he left his mark on the door, and an Aussie flag too!
