Bike Hippies: February 2013
http://bikehippies.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Assorted adventures, cycling and otherwise. Monday, February 25, 2013. We hired bikes in Hoi An and rode through some beautiful countryside to to the beach, which was clean, sandy and full of Vietnamese families enjoying their weekend. We spent a couple of afternoons there chilling out, reading, drinking cold drinks and eating tasty seafood. It's crazy, you need eyes in the front, back and both sides of your head at all times but I survived! I learned a lot anyway - it was well worth getting up hideously...

Bike Hippies: Bunny rampage
http://bikehippies.com/2015/04/bunny-rampage.html
Assorted adventures, cycling and otherwise. Wednesday, April 15, 2015. We took a detour to Hiroshima when we left Kobe. We only had a couple of hours there, but we both wanted to visit ground zero and the peace park and it was well worth a visit. The atomic bomb dome building was covered in scaffolding but understandably a lot of work goes into preserving its state (they are now looking into retrofitting seismic protection. And it is an eerie sight nonetheless. Next morning Dgym was feeling a little bett...

Bike Hippies: October 2009
http://bikehippies.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Assorted adventures, cycling and otherwise. Thursday, October 29, 2009. Saturday September 6th - Luxembourg. I awoke to hotel breakfast at 7am, which was a huge and very tasty feast of pastries, breads, jams, yoghurt, two poached eggs, assorted charcuterie, orange juice and tea. I left absolutely stuffed. I headed out of Malmedy towards St Vith and it quickly became clear it was one of those. After St Vith the N-road I was following got a lot busier and there was no cycle path. I took the turn off to...

Bike Hippies: January 2011
http://bikehippies.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Assorted adventures, cycling and otherwise. Friday, January 28, 2011. We were super excited about being back in Thailand and being able to visit that most traditional of cultural establishments, 7-11, which is filled with all our favourite tasty stuff like purple taro bread, 5 baht bags of coffee sweets and weird little pots of mysterious coconutty desserts. However, it still took us about three days to realise that there was one just around the corner from our hotel in Nong Khai. If you're visiting Thai...

Bike Hippies: More Tokyo
http://bikehippies.com/2015/04/more-tokyo.html
Assorted adventures, cycling and otherwise. Thursday, April 16, 2015. Our time on bunny island sadly came to an end, and so too would our whole trip quite soon - we bullet trained back to Tokyo and checked into a capsule hotel. Normally capsules are gender segregated (in fact, many are men only) - I wanted to try one, Dgym wasn't so keen until I found a special one that offers couples' capsules.

Bike Hippies: February 2012
http://bikehippies.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Assorted adventures, cycling and otherwise. Wednesday, February 29, 2012. And then it got busy. The border crossing was another round of intense questioning, but again proof of departure made the process easier. Welcome to America, enjoy your visit, but don't stay. Nervous, but a few litters of kittens later and it was looking a lot better and had not melted, success! Wednesday, February 15, 2012. We were planning on getting away for a winter holiday anyway but when our friends invited us to their weddin...

Bike Hippies: Kobe
http://bikehippies.com/2015/04/kobe.html
Assorted adventures, cycling and otherwise. Monday, April 13, 2015. We spent a few days in Kobe. I only knew two things about Kobe before we got there - it had a big earthquake in 1995, and is famous for its beef. It's a lively city, and seemed busier than anywhere else we've been here, including Tokyo. We took a day trip to Kyoto which was cold. We got fed up and uncomfortable quite quickly, so took the next exit and found a path alongside the shrine, through the bamboo forest - which was incredibly pre...

Assorted adventures, cycling and otherwise. Wednesday, January 30, 2013. A selection of some of the food we've had so far. You'll need to click 'i' to see the descriptions). No fried bugs yet. I saw some, but restrained myself. We just can't stay away. We've been in Bangkok for the past few days - having left behind a freezing snowy UK, we have been easing our way into the 30°C heat and getting stuck into some yummy Thai food.
