Touring is thirsty work!.
2603k’s down and plenty of side trips on the Intestates 40, 41, 81 and 270. We’re sticking to the story that we’re not lost only site seeing. We visited the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum, which the best museum we’ve seen so far. Otherwise not a lot to see along this stretch of road. It’s also …
A good day travelling today from Missouri to Oklahoma via Kansas. We ended up on part of the very original road today, only a single lane and very rough and potholes. We opted to turn around and bypass it. Only downside to the day was my GoPro mount breaking and the camera sailing off along …
Today seemed like a really long ride, it was through some beautiful country though. We visited Meramec Caverns and did the tour. Got the shirt and souvenirs as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwf2oCLwl-c&t=2s Stopped for lunch at the Missouri Hick BBQ, their pulled pork sandwich is delicious.

It was a beautiful sunny morning that greeted us at the Best Western in Countryside, Illinois. We were awake early and to say we were excited is an understatement. We ventured downstairs to sample our first motel breakfast in the U.S.A. Some of the items on the menu were unusual compared to our normal breakfast …
The day had arrived for our trip to the USA to ride Route 66. This trip had been in the planning for a long time and it was to celebrate a mate’s 50th birthday. We were keen to travel and go to the airport early, I was fortunate enough to be a Gold member with …
This visit to Sydney was the first time we would be staying in Sydney for a few days. We stayed in The Rocks district in Sydney. From Circular Quay, the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and so many places to have a cold beverage makes it a great place to spend a few days unwinding. …
