En Bicicleta por el mundo - Cycling the World

Around the end of July, in Berlin, I met fellow cycle traveller Tom Kevill-Davies, also known as the Hungry Cyclist.

His book about his two and a half years journey through the Americas in search of the perfect meal is a delightful read for anyone who loves food and/or cycle-touring.  His latest adventure lead Tom to Asia where he traveled the length of the Mekong river looking for new recipes, good food and local produce.

I could not resist to get in touch with him after I stumbled upon a flyer anouncing one of his talks in Berlin - a day later we took off on a bike-ride around the city in search for delicacies like the famous Curry-Wurst...
While having desert at the Kleine Eiszeit ice-cream parlour in Prenzlauer Berg we had a moment to spare for a short interview.

Podcast interview with the Hungry Cyclist (11mins 22 sec).

Rather tired I sit on my cousins couch which is to be my bed for the next two weeks. Just did not feel like camping another night just kilometers out of Berlin, so I pushed hard and after over 10 hours riding and 190 kilometers rolled through the Brandenburg Gate.

The next days I shall spend meeting old and new friends, goind out with my cousin and his girl-friend, exploring the cycle-paths in and around Berlin, seeing the sight I have not seen yet and having lots of rest and even more ice-cream.
