Just a few days before I leave for Italy to meet Matteo and finalize the last details for our departure. The tension is rising. At this point the only thing left to do is to ride the bikes east and leave the planning behind. My visas are all done except for the Turkmenistan one which I will pick up in Ankara (Turkey) or Baku in Azerbaijan. Matteo is still waiting for his visa from Azerbaijan. Following is a list of necessary stuff, among others, we will bring with us:
Motorcycle Gear | Boots |
Rain coat | Waterproof Bags |
I pod | Computer |
Video and Cameras | GPS |
Maps | Frying Pan |
Purifier for water | 2nd set of tires |
International Driver License | Additional 5 lt Gas Jerry Cans |
Teapot | Plates and cutlery |
Stove | Tent |
Termo rest | Sleeping bag |
Medicines | Camping light |
Gloves | Sun Glasses |
Electrical adaptors | Waterproof socks |
