We’ve seen Petra millions of times - starting wi We’ve seen Petra millions of times - starting with Tintin comic books and Indiana Jones movies, and ending with a flood of Instagram images in various sizes and shapes. Yet nothing compares to seeing it in real life. There’s a certain kind of magic in being so close to something so ancient, beautiful and eternal. For those who visited Petra, did you feel those goosebumps too? @visitjordan
Seen on the road. Yesterday, we arrived at our fi Seen on the road. Yesterday, we arrived at our finish point in Jordan - Aqaba. First, it’s astonishing, and a little bit scary, how quickly this month has flown by. It was intense, yet somehow felt like a single moment. It will dedinitely take some time to untangle all our mixed feelings as unlike other cycling trips, this one was NOT a relaxing or meditative experience. There’s a lot to process, but for now, the plan is to find a laundry and then stay in bed for a day or two.
Two weeks on the road, and every day we think that Two weeks on the road, and every day we think that nothing can beat what we've seen today. An amazingly beautiful country. A small dump of the last week's pictures (although feels like ten years), featuring the Dead Sea, King's Highway and Dana Reserve. #visitjordan
A small dump of videos taken over these ten days. A small dump of videos taken over these ten days. Nothing in common with our expectations, loads of unforseen difficulties, a lot of flexibility and adaptation needed. But that's the essence of traveling, isn't it?
Here is our January, 1. First a huge humiliating Here is our January, 1. First a huge humiliating process of repacking our tandem (how can you repack a tandem - will you ask. by removing its seats and pedals, scotching them in a trash bag and paying for extra luggage) because it was 37kg instead of the 32 authorized by the shittiest air company ever. paying for the additional kilos was not an option. Then a wrong adress given by our airbnb host, two hours freezing outside (did you know how cold Amman can be in January ?), another taxi for errr 2 meter box only to discover… that our room was already given to someone else. Never in my life did I rage out on a stranger like I did yesterday. At least we got our room and our 12 hours sleep. Let the GOOD part of the journey begin.
I can’t believe it, but it looks like it’s fin I can’t believe it, but it looks like it’s finally happening! After years of dreaming, one failed attempt to bring it to life (thanks, Covid), and months of planning, we are embarking on the most ambitious cycling trip we’ve done so far: From Amman to Dubai on a tandem bicycle. 5000 km. 100+ days on the road. That’s the plan, but if it takes longer, we won’t mind too much. Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE – this is a much-expanded and reimagined version of our original project. Not exactly typical cycling destinations, but then again, we’ve never been particularly reasonable people. Our departure is scheduled for the 1st of January – which means in just under three weeks. Am I panicking? Yes, I am! Right now, we’re busying ourselves with the final preparations and eating all the Christmas food to build up a bigger fat reserve. Once the holidays are over, we hope to bring you some nice outdoorsy content from the desert, mountains, and valleys. We’re not even sure ourselves what landscapes lie ahead! In the meantime, when there is a spare moment, we’ll share updates on our preparation process in the stories. We hope you’ll follow along and support us on this unique adventure. 🚲🚲
