Oh wow that's extraordinary!! We've been watching a chic on Youtube - she's from Belgium, and she is riding a motorbike across India currently. Making us want to change our whole plans, except it's a bit hard to drive from Australia through the stans these days and we don't want to drive through China. Maybe we'll end up there one day in our Land Rover anyway. :)
Forgive me, maybe I did know - I just have a terrible memory perhaps.
