A cycle touring photo that was posted on my Twitter account Garry Mcgivern’s Travelsonabike2 on the 20th-November-2011 I was in Bulgaria on my way to Australia when I took the photo.
It’s nearly a month since I left home on my bike ride to Australia. I’m only going to visit my family on the other side of the world! But, in the process, I hope to raise some much-needed money for cancer research. The countries I intend to cycle through once I leave England are France, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, China, Lao, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and then finally cycle across Australia to Brisbane.
Twitter Photo: Not far to Istanbul now, where I’ll rest for a few days
