[My journey in 2009-10]
Since April in 2009, I have started of Great journey(The name of my bike as follows: kenya-greatjourney.blogspot.com) traveling by bicycle from Istanbul. The first three months, I had so fast and very very fine traveling!! I was all the way up to Tallinn, Estonia and then to take a ferry to Helsinki, Finland. In Finland, I got a problem for my knee even after that I could possible to travel by bicycle a little bit slower than before. About one and half month passed from Helsinki I was standing on the northernmost point in Europe as well as North cape. I kept riding on my bike from North cape in order to got warm in south. Do you know what will happen in northern Scandinavian in late Sep.? I got snow just before Lofoten islands and I thought it might be impossible to travel by bicycle except for changing my tire for the winter one. Then, I took a flight to Oslo.
From Oslo I started to keep going down to Copenhagen through Stockholm. However I didn't know about the climate autumn in Scandinavian which was a lot of rain. I was so depressed about the weather and quite tired traveling by. Finally, I decided to take a flight to Amsterdam. From AMS, I took trains and finally I got to Past in the Christ mas. Through winter, I was in Paris to learn French and then I back home last February. It was ten months through great journey.
