Back in Germany I collect my creditcard from the dead mailbox and continue cycling through the beautiful network of bikelanes towards the northwest of Europe. I have an appointment for a Sikhi Camp.  Uhuuuu. 

In the Czech Republic are many beautiful nature places, but also Karlsberg, a historic town and known for its healing water. People go around the town to drink from the several healing spring waters.  Even Goethe was a fan boy and wrote a poem to this place. 

The Bodensee is really beautiful.  Here you can see  the Wasserburg Castle from the Painters corner. Far behind there are the mountains of Switzerland.  But the local traffic jam of tourist cyclists hit me fully unexpected.  Haha. In this mess I was nearly overrun by a crazy E-bike grandpa, because he did not controlled the bike. The bike just flowed with a Zombie driver. Because of that, I made a new route planning. Maybe I will come back to this area in winter, out of season and complete my route to Liechtenstein. So I cycled to Czech Republic,  a very interesting country too. 

After Switzerland I followed the Rhine river for a while and visited the Rheinfall of Schaffhausen on the german side. Yeah. 

Switzerland has a lot of everything.  More Mountains,  more fairytale places, more beautiful towns, more historical places. Yes. I like it  

France is really a beautiful country.  They have most beautiful small towns with lots of art sculptures and flowers at every corner. 

Finally, my bank fully blocked my credit card and sent a new one to a dead mailbox.  So I have to go back to Europe  to solve that problem. After arriving in Madrid, I enjoy the ride through Spain and the beauty of the nature. To live on my bicycle and sleep in my little tent at stunning places. Live is good. 

There are not much people here in South America. That's great, but I have a money problem. My credit card is no longer working in the ATM Machines  and the distances from one Kiosk to the next are around 100 km. And they want cash, when I want to buy water and food. So yes, I have to find a solution. 

Nature is always beautiful.  I meet the Lamas. How cute they are. Just watching me. Haha

My idea is to cross the Pino Hachado Pass to Chile, but I m late in the season. So there is really strong wind and snow, that the Government close the road in front of my nose. I m directly at the border, but I m not allowed to continue,  because many accidents already happened in this mountains. So I have to turn around and leave that area. But its ok. I don't want to blow down by the wind and die somewhere in the mountains.  

Back in Argentina I cycle to Cordoba and from there to Patagonia. Its incredibly beautiful outdoors. One night, a mountain lion comes to visit me at my tent. I wake up, because he is angry.  But I know, what cats are doing, when there is something interesting under a blanket or in a bush. So I dont move, because I don't wanna give any reason to attack me. In the informations I read later, that they are usually not attacking people. Only sometimes some cyclists.. haha.  Yes I know. Other people are in their cars here in this area.. 

In Uruguay you can see the Gauchos at work. Usually cows and horses are together in the graslands. 

Outdoors in Uruguay. I love to spend time by my own. Sitting alone in tent,  watching the animals around. Fortunately only some cows came for dinner last night. I think, this colorful snakes here are also very beautiful,  but its good, that they avoid my place. So after sunset with a good Daal Pasta in the belly, I can enjoy the coziness in nature for sleep. 

Yeah, 1 person from Bolivia, 1 person from Chile, 1 person from Germany.  All on fully loaded travel bicycles, meeting on the road in Brazil. Haha

Uhuu since many years, I m dreaming to see the Iguazu Cataratas with my own eyes. Its amazing. I m happy and thanksful that I have the opportunity to come here on my bicycle. 

Its hilly in Paraguay. I m cycling all directions in all weather conditions.  The air is very humid and hot and the roads are like rollercoaster.  Every day lots of uphills and downhills. The Iguazu Waterfalls are near. 

In Paraguay just after bordercrossing I got a puncture.  But I always carry my tools and parts to repair the bike and ride on. 

In a small town somewhere in Santa Fe district Argentina. 25 years ago I owned the same Bully in exactly colours in Germany.  I loved that. 

I like that little Motor Bike. It has 2 chains and 2 sprocket sets. Haha. One for the motor and one for the leg machine. It even has some V-brakes.  And its very well locked at that place in a small town somewhere in Santa Fe district Argentina. 

Everything in Argentina is interesting.  I love that country.  The nature is beautiful and the people are super polite. In this large country are very less citizens.  16 people only on 1 square km. In Germany we are 250. Only the mosquitoes are really annoying.  They eat me day and night. They can even attack me on the bike... haha they are tough guys. 

Its now winter in Europe and already a bit cold in tent. So its time for a new continent. I m ready 😀

My new bicycle is running very well. I love that new speed, the new sitting position and the  colour. 

I really enjoy the sunrise at the beaches of Spain. Time for Naam Simran and Nitnem. 

France in autumn is really super duper beautiful. 

Bonjour de France. I feel very welcome by nature and people on this beautiful autumn ride. And yes, the first flat tyres are already done with this bike. After bushcamping I got 4 punctures in the frontwheel and 1 in the rear.  Haha. A few weeks ago I got stopped by a Stick between my spokes and the mudcatcher got a knot.. so now I feel ready to ride out of Europe.  

Camping in the October in Germany has already some cold temperatures.  

Moin from Germany.  Some people go by boat. I ride my bike. 

Moin Moin from Germany.  Here you can see my brand-new bicycle.  Its a randonneur with Shimano 105 gear system. I m very happy to ride with this cycle to the south. 

 After cycling 82.000 km around the world with this bike, its time for a change. 

Beautiful campspot in Denmark.  

Denmark is cool. And my bike really overloaded. It makes some new sounds.

In diffrent countries, they have diffrent dangerous animals. In Sweden its a piggy.  🤩

Yeah, Sweden is just beautiful.  

Hey Ho from Sweden. Country of lakes and wooden houses. I like the nature here, but rain is still chasing me... In the south of Sweden, they have already water problems, because the groundwater is sinking. Imagine! This is Sweden and they have water problems... I was never expecting that, but the climate crisis has own rules. 
So as I arrived in the south of Sweden, with my personal raincloud over my head, people are very happy, that finally rain is coming..

Finland has more saunas than citizens? Not really. Here are around 5,5 million people and only 3,3 million Saunas. Yeah, in fact, the people of Finland are really beautiful.  Maybe because of their lifestyle. 

At this place in Tallinn, Estonia you can write a letter with your sorrows and throw it in the postbox to the Priest, that he can pray for you. For free. 

Estonia has also some castles. I can even try the weapons!, because they are not behind bars. Really interesting.  

Estonia has 1000 bears, and one of them in my near.. haha. Its a beautiful country with small population and large woods. I really love it. 

The freedom statue in Riga is guarded by soldiers at several hours throughout the day. So this is the proof, that I m the early bird with my bike. 

Latvija is really beautiful. This is the Rundale Castle with his beautiful garden. But also the nature around is very beautiful and peaceful. Less than 2 million people are living in this country. 

Uhuuu this horn on my forehead is a mosquito bite. Haha. Thanks god they don't have malaria ore dengue mosquitoes in Latvija. 

In the middle of June I find myself in a hail thunderstorm in Lithuania.. hurr. Its really ice cold and the wind blows me off the bike. 

Lithuania has a lot of interesting skulptures at every corner. This is showing a world traveller. 

The Veloroute R10 around the Baltic sea brings me to beautiful natural places in Poland. 

Juhuu the bordercrossing between Germany and Poland is that simple. No any document checking officers, no police, just a silent crossing point and some tourists. It's my 43th country on my bike tour. 

Back in Germany I cycle the Elbe Radweg to the north and visit my family for a few short days. After hugging them, I follow the Eurovelo to the Baltic sea.

The best thing in the learning process is to practise. So I try my best to learn fast and nice in my beloved Panjab... and enjoy the Sat Sangat. Here you can see the crazy Nihang Singh, showing their skills with their beloved horses. 

Yeah. Its Hola Mohalla. Many Nihang Singh are here in Anandpur Sahib. Everbody has lot of weapons and I enjoy sleeping under the stars, the Gatka, the crazy horseriding and this all celebrations.

I stay in many beautiful and historical Gurudwara Sahibs in the peace and spend precious time with my Guru.

I m undercover on the road, because I want to focus fully on the study. But after short time, I meet some reporters to give funny interviews.. So then everybody knows, that I m here.

Cycling in Panjab is just the most beautiful experience you can have.

Lets go to Panjab to meet my Guru, learn Gurbani, Panjabi and feel the spirit of the holy land.
