The Advent calendar is in the starting block, Father Christmas in gallery Carrefour's market and we will make ice castles at recess.

Pauline Bertrand and still working on the album Chaz Knapp . it takes time, ok, but it's very, very heavy and your patience will be rewarded in May with an evening ... haha I like mice corner.

Van - Turkey - Freedom of mind

Merhaba,

14158 kms en un peu moins de 14 mois de voyage. Dernier pays, la Turquie. Nous There are back and are very happy! I personally feel freer psychologically and physically without headscarves. The men say hello and I did not need to look down when I walk down the street to avoid eye contact with a man. We are now in Kurdistan, the region most likely to Muslim Turkey and yet it is very different from Iran. People are happy in the street. In short, I will discuss Iran again because I have to say. It is a country worth visiting. The men will appreciate even more!

Our approach end of travel. We have a flight to Istanbul on Dec. 20-Glasgow. Until then, we 7-10 days pedaling feel towards the sea, Adana likely to return later in Istanbul. Here are the mountains and winter. That is why we decided not to go to Armenia or Georgia. Since Rasht, on the Caspian Sea coast, we took a bus to Tabriz and then yesterday, a train before. Fatigue of travel, and yes, it happens ... we did not want to spend a second winter biking. Oceanne more than 3 years, has a great need to be with other children. It's time to go home.

We will of December 20 to 28 in the Rupert family in England. Then from December 28 to January 5 with my parents in Toulouse. This may be a first meeting point for those who are interested in going through the. Tell me, tell me! Then it will be a shift in Stuttgart with my friend Isabelle until 10 January.

We returned to Montreal Monday, January 10. We'd like to see you. We organize a ¨ pizza-beer ¨ (or non-alcoholic drink for Muslims, pregnant women and those who do not like alcohol) is from 17:30 with my friend Dominique in Villeray. We ask you to bring your drink and you order pizza! Despite all the fantastic hospitality we received throughout the trip, we did not take example. Oceanne will also be very happy to play with kids! They are therefore welcome. We are aware it earlier this week, but your portion need not be long. Just a little time to discuss with you all. Contact me me if you want the coordinates of Dominica. This will also allow me to have an idea of the number of people.

you soon!

Iranian dreams and plans

Hi there, I wanted to

Share Our plans and expectations for this adventure of The End That has Given us as a family So Much and have people. We are "still very much 'On Our trip' As It Were Things Have Already Been to put in place for The Return To; The Normal Life! We Thought It Was When We Were getting cold still in Mashad waiting for o money and this was somewhat confirmed on the first couple of days biking when we had rain, cold nights in the tent and having to take refuge for the night in a restaurant as the rain and even stronger wind bashed against the windows. It wasn't fun and after last winter, we were not looking forward to dealing with it again especially with a young girl who needs to play outside. Then, it all changed. Sun, for ten days and more encounting. I hope it doesen't change as we're meant to be in the wettest region of Iran, the Caspian sea coast. We are currently in Nowshahr and will be heading towards Ramsar and Rasht tomorrow. Biking was expected to take less of an importance since Mashad but we kind of got a second wind after the money story and then the weather. It's never exactly easy with mountains and wind sometimes but neither is it hugely difficult. I realised that although our luggage is pushing 70 kg's each, the entire bike with trailer for each of us means the entire contraption that we pull is up to a 100 kg's each. This shows what a great machine the bicycle is and how anybody can get out and do this with a child or even two and just stop perhaps only thinking about it. Doesen't have to be a huge trip, doesen't have to be expensive either. Back to the plans, don't want to get too much into a role of expert because that is not the message.

After Rasht we will spend some time in Tabriz shopping and spending some time as tourists before heading into Turkish Kurdistan where we will bike our last kilometres hence closing the circle of our trip and route which will end up as Edinburgh to Beijing, from two ends! We will be really happy to finish our trip in Turkey and even more happy that we will be flying out of Istanbul as we all love that city. Infact, the country as a whole. The food, the people and the constant tea drinking. It's a bit like Iran without the chador and with beer if you like. I would describe Iran as vice-versa. Funnily enough l am not missing beer here. Treating it as a kind of cleansing operation after too much alcohol in China and Central Asia. We will therefore fly from Istanbul to Glasgow on the 20th of December after some relaxing and perhaps a party over what will probably be our last five days of the journey. Christmas in England and New Year in France before a return to Montreal and work and the future. First priority, a brother or sister for Oceanne! If anybody has plans to meet up in any of those places including Istanbul then please let me know, so that l can arrange things in advance. I am of course really excited to see any of you! I am also, l will warn you, expecting a beer or two, any drink infact, in exchange! I passed 14,000 km's ridden today pulling that weight l mentioned earlier so l am obviously in buoyant mood.

Much love, Rupert, Dorothee and Oceanne
