An Update on Mihai's Progress

As of September 24th, 2013, Mihai is still on the road and slowly making his way up North. I've been checking out his position every few days on his SPOT page, and he's now approaching Venezuela. In a recent brief email exchange, he let me know that so far his plan was to ship his bike from Bogota (Colombia) to Miami, and then to ride north all the way to Montreal. Total distance covered so far? 53 000 km!! And he's not even done.

Since we parted ways in Buenos Aires in May, Mihai has partnered up with Kevin, an American on a KLR 650, and it seems they've been riding together for most of the time. We had briefly met Kevin in Guatemala, and then bumped again into each other in Buenos Aires, where we hung out for a few days.

For an overview of what the guys have been up to, see Kevin's blog

On another note... While in Ushuaia, I had sent a few post cards to family and friends. About 8 weeks later, none of them had made it to destination, and I had pretty much concluded that they got lost somewhere along the way. Well, just recently I received an email from my brother saying that he got his post card. With a few days, I received messages that all the other ones arrived as well. It only took 4 months!! Talk about slow..haha.
