The journey so far...
Well i am on me way to India on me moto, the start was interesting trying to get me visa's for Iran, Pakistan and India.
I arrived at the Iranian Embassy in Dublin with forms filled out me passport and cash gave them all over to Dorlois at the desk, she takes them off comes back again and says sorry your passport is too badly damaged to issue a visa, told her that I travel by moto and it was only rain damaged but there was nothing she could do. So flew down to the passport office in Dublin told them me problem but they said i needed a long birth cert to get a new passport so phoned me wee bro in Belfast and asked him to find out wat time the place closed at in Belfast to get a long cert, he said they can do a new cert in an hour but I have to be there by 14:30 it was 12:45 in Dublin, but with the love off God got it and flew back down to Dublin. So next morning back top passport office told them me story and God bless them gave me a new passport in two days, so back to Iranian Embassy Dorlois was surprised to see me so soon asked me to take a seat and an hour later i had me visa for Iran 60 days. So now straight over to Pakistan Embassy there visa took 6 days and is for 3 months got then to Indian embassy it took 6 days as well pick it up 20 sept I left Ireland on the 23 sept. It all works out in the end...
So left Belfast late on Sunday 23 sept for Dublin late as usually got to Dublin at 12:45 was amazed at how many people had turned up ta make sure i was really going .... a wee bit off a ride out and then flew to Rosslare got the Ferry to Cherbourg by the skin off me teeth
Next day arrived in France the sun was out great day riding off the ferry knowing that this was God willing the start of many miles ahead, stayed the night in Domfront great wee village and campsite was only 7.36 euros for two nites, then to the La Chatre and the weather changed started ta piss down very heavy poor visibility, next day to Feurs weather still the same but the day after as i reached the french alps the sun came out heading for Briancon fantastic day.
Next morning up early weather still great when back down the road i rode the day before just because it was that good and then crossed over into Italy. Stay up in the Italian alps at Valle de Chisonne great roads again next morning headed straight across Italy to east coast stayed in Fano up the next morning and travel south to Roseta delgi Abruzzi have stayed here two nights but leave tomorrow morning for Bari and then ferry across to Greece.
