Bye bye SEAsia....
... and hello South America.
That's assuming they will let me on the plane with only a one-way ticket, hopefully my boxed bicycle and proof of funds will be enough to persuade them.
After two years n seven months cycling around these parts I am ready for a change. Then plan , as long as funds last, is: Arrive Colombia Wednesday evening, three months Colombia although that can be extended for another 90 days, then Ecuador for the same amount of time with a lot of chilling and hopefully not spending too much, after six months I will get a cash flow injection and then Peru, Boliva and Paraguay.
And tips n info appreciated as always.
Cheers
Adam

Don't share banknotes, too much hep about, and avoid starting sentences with "Your mother...."
Enjoy, old fella.

And in Argetina don’t mention Thatcher, Belgrano, Goose Green, Harrier Jets or Falklands.

Thanks for sharing your travels around these parts and all the pics, etc. Maybe one bored afternoon you'd like to write a longer piece for us
Good luck in South America -- I'm sure you'll have a blast. Colombia is wonderful and of course a lot safer than it used to be, and Peruvian food is some of my favorite in the world.
Hopefully you'll still post from there. I'm sure people will enjoy hearing how it's going, and your pics/perspectives from there. As things are changing rapidly here, I know a few are looking towards that part of the world for a potential move.
¡Hasta luego chico! ¡Buena suerte!

You havent been over to the dark side with touring on a bike until you've cycled through Dusty Manipur & Nagaland mate. A combination of dust, potholes, gravel, cobblestones, narrow roads, hills, army check points and crazy driving.
It changed me.
Just sayin...
I've always fancied Chilie for some reason.
Think i'm of to Bangladesh for some partying soon (without the bikes)

In Bogota after a marathon 48 hour journey.
I had absolutely no problems entering Colombia on a one way ticket, none at all. Further proof that Dipshit knows fuck all about anything. Did have a problem leaving Bali tho as insisted I had to apply for an electronic visa for the US . Ended up sitting on the floor applying for it using my tab and the airport wifi which was useless. Nearly missed my first flight coz of the delay in completing the form and was never asked again about it not even in JFK.
