I am in heaven! Life on the road is amazing. Again, I am not sure how I will manage to summarize the last few days, they are all so full of happy moments and encounters. I am now in Tok after 5 more days of cycling. I have to take it easy, my knees can’t take long days and everyday I wonder if it’s going to be the last one.
