Was not joking when I said people here in Vladivostok love their tigers! This man at the motorcycle club said he paid $2000 to have this one permanently printed on his skin! Awesome work I must say.. I might consider that one for myself.. what do ya think.. ? 😉 So it’s another day in the life of Sherri Jo in Russia.. it’s a tough...
These interesting and unexpected experiences keep coming up in Perth.. is it the trip itself, or is it because I am actually in one spot for longer than a sleep in the tent.. So, if you have seen on my Facebook page about the group “Against the Grain”, you will know I met up with these amazing men who are organizing a journey on quad bikes to re-visit...
Well I have to say I had a wonderful time in Perth! I was there for a whole week. I’m glad about that for a few reasons.. When I looked at what I needed to accomplish to get the bike ready for overseas, I knew if I didn’t make it to Perth on the Friday, then everything would be closed Saturday and Sunday, and I would be stressin’..! So...
I made it to Perth! A long time goal achieved, and arriving successfully was a good feeling! Margaret River was very cold in the morning, clocking in at 1 degree when I left.. Like I said earlier, it didn’t do much for me, and I was VERY READY to just get myself to Perth. It was an amazing and exhausting 10 days.. set up as my test run before...
Not much accomplished today… after leaving Walpole, it was all forest. Forest, Forest and more Forest… love love love the fresh air!!! But! Deep dark windy curves all day long!! Very slow way to travel compared to the long straight roads I had gotten used to.. Wanted to check out Margaret River, had heard to much about it...
Up at 5 again.. It takes this long to get everything packed up and on the road again by 8 or 9! (including more visits from fellow campers..) Really nice man Derrick, who had been camping at Bremer Bay since a young boy… I love those stories! Was listening to music on my ipod in the tent this morning, and it was “A Million Miles from...
One thing I love about camping, is I am constantly meeting really nice people! As soon as a turn the engine off, somebody comes over to talk to me, and usually with good advice of where they have been and what I should see.. Here I met a wonderful couple from Germany, Heinrich and Dorothea.. They are traveling around Australia for 6 months. When I...
A hyped up day across the Nullabor… I have heard so much about this Nullabor place.. It’s flat, dry, no trees for days on end.. people die out there.. Make sure you take plenty of spare fuel and water. Out of that amazing Roadhouse dirt patch I camped on at Nundroo and nervously headed into the Nullabor zone.. I noticed while riding through...
Started off from Tina’s house, and went to fill up with fuel. Really had to park my bike at the roadhouse like a moron, just to get the kick stand down. But I got the job done, and got the Air freight express guy to help me hold the bike to get the kick stand back up.. boy did he have a funny story to tell! (As I find nearly every time I stop...
Lots of update catching up to do!! It’s been a lot to get used to, and of coarse no mobile reception across most of the barren country. But now in WA, I can get to work! Well, sort of… I’m still 2 days away from Perth… So! Day 1!! Woke up at 2:45 AM, in my empty house, from sleeping on the floor in my sleeping bag...
