Александр Мумжиу: на велосипеде по Гималаям
23 December 2000

Hello my friends,

I am in London, waiting for the plane home. My trip is finished. I started it exactly 3 months ago. There is a saying, you cannot have your cake and eat it in the same time (or something like this). In my last trip I ate several of my life long dream. I was at the roof of the world, Tibet; I stayed in the used be forbidden city Lhasa, I saw Potala. I saw Himalayas and rode bike to the Everest base camp; made half of Annapurna circle; have seen Nepal and India. Pictures in our imagination are usually exceed the reality. But I should say that Everest, Taj Mahal and Potala exceeded my expectations. The problem is I do not have these dreams anymore, I ate them.
It is possible to travel for health reason. A rush of adrenaline washed away all diseases which start to grow in your body during the normal quiet life, especially if you are not so young. Running after the train which carried away your belongings produces more adrenaline then running on a treadmill. But travel for health alone would be boring. Some people asked me, where will be my next trip. I do not know, my major goals has been achieved... Does anybody has any suggestions?

In conclusion I would like to thank all of you for reading my Travel Notes, and especially these who reply on them. I also would like to thank Vladimir Kelman and Channell Wasson for publishing my notes on ledorub.poxod.com and www.bromptonbike.com.
 

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU

        THE END.
