how to start…
Every trip has it start, this one was not much different.
While ago we decided that we are going to travel to the East with our friends , Anna and Piotr.
But Beginning of this trip was kind of complicated or more like a bit different Why?
Because before he can hit the road we have to attend one wedding,
You would say it:
That is Great !!!
Yeap, of course, I love to get drunk and misbehave at weddings to…. but this time that supposed to be our own wedding!!!
So first we have to organize place and few people who want to celebrate this day with us.
Both my lady and I are originally from South -East of Poland so we decided to have the party there.
So when wedding idea arrived at the stage we were sure that this is going be a great beginning of our trip, especially because wedding in mountains means two days of extensive drinking of spirits.
We then talked with our son Jakub who did not have anything against our month parental absence, and of course that have nothing to do with the fact that at this stage he was just 8 months old, so he confirmed that he is OK to stay with his grandparents.
Anna and Piotr's son was a bit older so negotiation was a bit more complicated....
Then we emailed few other friends who confirmed that they are going be there as well
So we set wedding date for 27/07/2013 and beginning of trip for 28/07/2013
Do not worries, this is trip rapport but hard to write about trip itself without mentioning events preceding it!!!

The trip:
We want to reach Tajikistan.
Bikes: one small gs 650 with hard luggage ridden by Anna, one big Gs 1200 Adv with hard luggage ridden by Piotr and mighty Xrv 750 with soft luggage ridden by me and Diana.
Plan was to ride there on our bikes, through all these countries and to experience the road and everything related this
,
Paperwork:
Sorting out Russian and Kazakh visas were not to complicated, so we just hired a middleman who forwarded our paperwork and money to Embassy in Germany and then to Russian in Krakow.
So that was sorted out in one month.
Then we just get insurances and more likely that was all.
All maps and navigation we loaded in our smartphones, no more expensive GPS devices needed.
We decide to start our ride in Poland just on Ukraine's border then ride through Ukraine to Russia and then Kazakhstan and Kirgizia and then Tajikistan and then we see what next, we said.
Just a few pictures so u can taste...
