		<description><![CDATA[Where tectonic plates collide, the kingdom of Bhutan soars.   Rising up above the Indian plains, the land of the thunder dragon begins as dramatically as it stands.   A land shrouded in mystery, closed to the world for years, only recently has Bhutan started opening its wide wooden doors to the world. There have been many people aid [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was a joyful event to reach the Geermu – Lhasa highway.  I could have kissed the smooth asphalt.  We&#8217;d spent the last week cycling alone in a vast plateau that appeared to never end.  The day before reaching the highway we managed to set up camp moments before a thunderstorm front rolled through.  During [...]]]></description>

In the valleys, I pushed my bike across the gravelly river beds and usually ended up giving Ruby (the bike) and myself a bath at the same time.  Fortunately, with the airtight panniers, the bike could float across if need be but, being the middle of the dry season [...]]]></description>

Hannah, Gemma and I had a quiet Christmas at Hannah&#8217;s place in the middle of the city.  I spent most of Christmas Day with Ruby (the bike) cleaning, repairing and doing scheduled maintenance on the Rohloff [...]]]></description>

Getting there was going to blow the budget for the week, but I figured that if I could camp on the island then it would be okay. The next ferry wasn&#8217;t until morning [...]]]></description>
