Jinji Sadan

Its been crazy 2 weeks, not moving with the bike but my mind feel very busy.

Preparing my self and the right “ground” for Orly, the blind lady that is joining me in the next 2 weeks on a tandem bike with an escort car. A friend that volunteer to help us on the escort car canceled his joining 2 weeks before the arrival of Orly and I needed to push myself and see how we going to do that.

In the last 3 months I counted on him and 2 weeks before he got cold feet cant deal with big project and from the lemons in life I will try to make a good lemonade.

At list I was in a good place with amazing friends around me.

great time with omri and jacky

In the city of Adelaide I had one of the most happiest  meeting in my journey, a good friend,omri, from the army time is working here toghter with his wife,adi,and hid brother,Jacky, live here and invited me (6 months ago) to be a part of the family as long as I needed.

We didn’t talk too much in the last 10years but we always knew whats going on with each other and between good friends from the army or the childhood friends there is a bond that its hard to descarivedbut you can imagine.

After dealing with long deserts ,bad weather and lonely moments I forgot how is it to feel “like home” that I got friends around me all the day and we can lough about the past, the future and the present.

adi making good food for all the family... thank you!

I am not used to be in one place for a long time but I had amazing friends that understand my needs and know that my mind work in a different way.

good to have you here in this world my good friend

The food was great and we had really great time together and I was so happy to have them in this time of the journey because I earn this meeting and it also push me for the future.

In Adelaide I meet the small and warm Jewish community in the city and they help me as much as they can with the big project that we about to do.

When you need help you see how great people can be.

meeting with the kids in the Jewish school

People that don’t know Orly came to my presentation and helped as with money that we need in order to make this kind of a project.

A friend of Orly from Israel,asaf, will join us and its great because he knows her and her needs but its more money that coming from Orly pocket and I try to help as much as I can.

AMAZING DAPHNE

Daphne,an Israeli that working with the Jewish community her helped me a lot with her I knew that everything will be OK.

Actually I don’t have time to write you more about this weeks because Orly landed and tomorrow we start to cycle the great ocean road -1200 km from Adelaide to Melbourne where many people will join us in this amazing moments.

Wow, cycling with a blind lady for 2 weeks! Its going to be huge adventure and I hope that Orly will also dream with my open eyes.

around the world

I got a spoiled eye but Yangshuo surprise me.

This is not a traveler blog it’s a journey diary. Usually I am not telling people where to go, I believe that people need to listen to the hearts and then they will see the places or the people that they always dream of, but in this case I will tell you that you HAVE to see the crust mountains of the small city yangshuo in the area of Guilin city in south china.

I waited long time to meet William Lu a friend of my family and this was magic time. William has a great hostel and café (7th heaven) and his wife, Linda, has a cooking class in her restaurant (cloud 9) so I got a “vip” treatment…

my man william lu

Eating good and try to rest my mind from the deserts of china before planning New Zealand and Australia. William is a guy that always smiles he gives you energy in his words and wisdom and I was so happy that he could show me this amazing place.

with william and cristina

It’s always nice to meet travelers and to feel “normal” again, to joke about the challenges that the chine’s people give you.

Its no secret that china took everything that I got, physically but more mentally and that’s why I got her just to clear my mind.

Article about me in bejing news paper in English.

It’s a different china when you are traveling in touristy place and to look at the people when you are not thinking about how cold is it or “how the hell I am going to cross this desert” it’s a different sight when you look a at a view point when you resting and don’t need to think (yet) where I need to put my tent. I see different things when my eye is resting, I have more time to be with the locals to eat there food and for some time not to be on the costume of jinji cycling around the world with out people asking all the time where and when I am going and all the usual questions that I can answer from my sleep already.

A girl that I meet in Chengdu, Miri, came to visit me and we had amazing time. We rent a tandem bicycle(Emuna needs to rest…) and for once in my life some one helps me to push the bike… Actually she wasn’t that good in paddling she were busy taking photos and asking me all the time “do you understand how amazing this place?” It’s always nice to be in this kind of places but if you can share it with someone its nicer.

pushing the bike and Miri

That’s the end of china and the end of Asia and I already miss her I had a flight to Australia but I could not believe that I am leaving this continent, I will not write now a continent summary I will wait for the right time and usually when I fly on a simple plane I can understand what I did with amazing bicycle.

start to plan the future

Before I finish I want to share with you what I learned in the last week even in the most beautiful places on earth you could still meet much more beautiful people then there surroundings.

The eye forgets but the heart will always remember.

Roei jinji sadan All ready got to Australia!
