Cycling 130-150 km every day has its price, and often I’m just too knackered to bring out the electronic equipment and get myself updated on the laptop. After dinner I simply fade out, around 8-9PM. Power’s out and sleep is the only thing I can muster really.
But nothing (no experience, thought, i.e) is wasted here – it all ends up in my hand written diary.
Am looking forward to some anonymous big city days in Lima. Without the bike that – most likely along with the colour of my hair – attracts shit loads of attention everywhere. Especially in the smaller village everyone wants to chat and hear my story. It sounds pretty harmless, I know, but it gives me nothing (apart from irritation) and being treated as if I was made of some bulletproof, inhuman material (and not flesh and blood like anyone around) just isn’t the ideal basis for a proper conversation.
This is not just 15 minutes of fame. It’s 24 hours a day of annoying, unoriginal questions that ruin my concentration and focus when all I want to do is keep cycling…
On this day..
