Organisation by Bernd Tesch. To answer this question exactly is difficult because this changes many times in the earlier years. I never could read a publication about this. Have you seen one? The countries that were in the world in now in are Peter Forwood informed me that there are countries in 3 categories in the world according to Rand McNally atlas.
There are totally independent countries at all. The German leading book "Fischer Alamach " says: The idea to move with power of others is very old. The question was only how? So people tried many ways: The earth is one of nine big planets of the sun. Possibly out of change of gravity in the universe it was caused that dust attracted each other at first to smaller parts which are getting bigger and bigger.
Finally becoming big rocks which attracted each other to big planets. Most of them were attracted by the biggest part which is the sun. The nine planets could escape somehow the gravity of the sun and started to circle around the sun. If this came by meteroits from other planets or developed came up, is not proved so far. The very well known French writer Jules wrote the phantastic novel Roman in which Phileas Fogg won the bed to circle the world in 80 days. This novel became very famous and was translated in many languages.

Read Kindle Store Reviews - bolstergroup. Auf den Spuren der Traveller German Edition. At least you will never have seen such a huge collection of information in internet or literature. I went to Australia in First discovery of the Australian landscape and the harshness of the sun in the bush. My friend made the mistake to wear shorts one day. Next one he was so burnt he could not climb on the bike! Luckily I was not so foolish, even in those days, to ride a motorcycle wearing shorts! From Cairns we went inland as far as Charleville where we got stuck a few days due to a flood.
Resumed the trip through a grasshopers cloud then past giant termite mounds. Hit a bull on the road before reaching Darwin. Got lost between Mt Isa and the Birdsville track. Down the Birdsville track to Adelaide and on to Melbourne where we arrived after one year of traveling. In those days the roads were still dirt!
Finding our way back to the Birdsville track thanks to a ranch owner! Getting lost between Mt Isa and the Birdsville track! France - India - Singapore - Australia. Went back from Australia to France by boat in We toured Europe on both bikes. Then I crashed mine on a roundabout by a foggy night. Worked in a banque, bought another Suzuki GT In we shipped back the and decided to go back overland with the Got enough 2 stroke oil to last me the trip and we left France in April We had snow in Italy, snow in Greece and even snow in Turkey.
Istambul is a great place. We travelled east through Cappadocia, a beautiful part of Turkey with stunning landscapes. We were warned by travellers than further east kids were pretty rough, asking for cigarettes and throwing stones at vehicles.

Soon we got the treatment. Having been warned, each time I saw kids waving by the roadside. I would slow down to first gear, put my blinkers and pretend to stop, but instead I would give full throttle and charge at them. They scattered and by the time they threw their stones I was out of reach. Went to court, did not said a word and won the case! The driver not only had to pay for the repair but also to lodge us in his house until it was ready!
Then it was Afghanistan. Broke down before Kandahar. Got a lift in town where the local mechanice had to manufacture new shaft bearing himself. Meanwhile we had tea and haschich everyday until the bike was ready. Great country and great people. Through the Kyber pass to Pakistan then to India. Down to Madras where we shipped to Singapore and shipped again to Perth.
Got to Perth in time, the hand made bearing had done their jobs. They were replaced by original ones and we rode across the Nullarbor now all bitumen to Melbourne. We did a grand tour of Mexico then went to Belice. Got stuck for 2 weeks in Belice City thanks to the flood. Eventually we managed to ride and waddle through to reach the border with Guatemala. At the border I checked the oil. Gosh it was a paste! So I changed it before we continued through mud to Tikal Took us more than one hour for the last 4 km.
People there got excited. They were stuck since 10 days and thought the road was reopened. But when they saw our bikes covered in mud they just sigh! But Tikal was just worse the trouble. More mud was waiting for us before geaching Guatemala City. Went to Antigua, Lake Atitlan, etc. In town we were many times accosted by groups of tough people thinking we were American but we always talked our way out and often had drink with them once they understood their mistake.
From Salvador to Honduras then Nicaragua also in civil war. In Granada we spent a good hour before convincing a young guy armed with a machine gun that we were not yankees and had nothing to do with them. Reluctantly he let us go but it was touch and go. Costa Rica was a relief then we rode to Panama through a deluge. From Panama we flew the bikes to Quito. Went down to Guayaquil where an earthquake shook us out of bed in the middle of the night. No damage for us or the bikes. Left Guayaquil for Peru, rode down the coast then up the Andes to Huaraz fantastic scenery down to the coast again and to Lima.
It was still the wet season and the dirt road was mud. It was slow going with lots of falls. The brakes were blocked by the mud so sometimes the falls were voultary, to avoid a greater fall down the Andes! But we reached Cuzco where Patrick's Honda packed up. No parts in town nor in Lima neither in Bolivia. A general bought his bike so we split. Patrick continued by bus and I still with my Suzuki which was working perfectly.
So we met at prearranged places. In La Paz Bolivia we saw that we could not go much further because money. So we started the trip back to Mexico. From there Patrick went back to Canada. I stayed a bout a year in Mexico, working in a hotel then sold the bike which had developed some problems and with the money went back by bus or hitchiking to Bolivia. Then flew back to Australia on the last day of my visa. In fact the whole trip. The scary moment in Nicaragua. Bought various bikes then the greatest of them all in In I decided it was time to shake the cobwebs from the Public Service.
I flew Ozzie my bike to L. We'll ride together till Guadalajara. They then turn back and I keep going on through Mexico, Belice , Guatemala now the road to Tikal is paved! In Antigua met Ralf and Petra at the Post office. Then I go down to Lake Atitlan, a gem. Panama I fly the bike to Quito in Equador , then myself to Quito! Ozzie is not there! Bastard have not send it yet. After a week of furious calls they eventually send it.
Unfortunately the volcano in Quito start to erupt. Flight are diverted to Guayaquil. Another week pass and Ozzie is still stuck in Guayaquil. I pack up, catch the night bus to Guayaquil and go to the airport. I start the paper works to clear the bike it's 09h00 when I see 4 people coming in, helmet in hands. So we all clear our bikes together and are out by 16h I go back to Quito with everybody than Renate. Gino and I decide to travel together, Petra and Ralf being faster.
Up to m, crossing the Chilian border at m and down in Arica Chile in km of descent. Mark and I go to Uruguay. Mark leaves from Montevideo to England. Ozzie and I take a river boat to Manaus and back on the road to Caracas in Venezuela from where we fly to London. I'm afraid i've been a bit long but it's easy to get carried away They were both life-enhancing and life changing.
Drove to east coast of USA, where we embarked on a Yugoslav freighter that was scheduled to go to Tangier, Morocco in 9 days. It actually went to Marseille in 37 days. From there we travelled to Spain, crossed at Algcerias to Tangier, Morocco, travelled through that country for about one month, then through Algeria to Tunisia, there we took a ferry which went to Naples, Italy.
Cross the Italian peninsula, and from Brindisi took another ferry to Corfu, Greece. Then another ferry to Athens, and finally another ferry to Haifa, Israel. We had friends living in Jerusalem, so spent some time there, and sold the bike to a Canadian couple and flew back. The religiosity of India, the scenery in Kashmir, Varanasi for the rituals of the Hindu religion. The people we met, both fellow travellers and natives; some remarkable experiences. Being unable to leave Kabul, Afghanistan, because they had a coup d'etat, tossing out King Mohammed who is back now, after the US incursion.
Borders were closed, and it is VERY difficult to stay healthy in Afghanistan - getting clean food and water is very dicey. On the first trip, the BMW had California plate; this would have been difficult in some countries at that time starting with Turkey.
Getting the new bike in Germany, and acquiring a "carnet de passage" from the Deutche Automobil Club, and having a registration book in several languages, was a great help. These trips were taken after Barbara and I had travelled together from California up to British Columbia via the coast route, highway.
Intends to take another long trip like this in a couple of years. In an additional letter I found out that Barbara and Doughlas did not marry. In Doughlas met only some Aussies in Yugoslavia, and a German chap in Afghanistan who was on his way back home from Nepal by bike. In the eastern 40 miles or so of Turkey on the GT road were gravel; other than that, it was all paved roads - some a lot better than others, obviously.
