So much has happened since my last blog I do not even know where to start so I will go back to the hotel that reluctantly let me stay. Since I was so panicked about my visa situation and the hotel not wanting me to stay I could hardly sleep that night. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom slipped flat on my backside and hit my head on the wall HARD. I saw starts but did not pass out or throw up. I sat there for a minute and then put my hand to the back of my head and it was wet. FRACK I’ve split my head open I turn the light on grab a towel and there is seems to be a whole hell of a lot of blood pouring out the back of my head. My heart just stops, this hotel already don’t want me there and I do not want to draw attention to myself, what to do….I wet the towel and hold it to my head and it seems like ages but the bleeding eventually stopped. I decide I am not concussed and need to “man up” and reassess the situation. SO I go to sleep and the world seems brighter in the morning. I have a huge lump on the back of my head and can feel a small cut and scab where it slit but am now absolute sure it will be fine…wussy girl. Time to leave the hotel and head back out on Dizzy. I am in Chita and am going to try get as close to Irkutsk as possible so want to cover about 750km today.

Hi!

Two wheels, six continents, zero regrets. I’ve chased horizons across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and parts of Africa — sometimes on a bike, sometimes on foot with a pack and a bad sense of direction. Welcome to the road!

I created this blog for my friends and family to follow my adventures. I am however no author or influencer, my spelling (British) and grammar are not great so enter at your own risk!
