Other travellers
When travelling by bike in unusual locations as we are doing, one is dependant on a number of sources for information. Apart from the usual ones, this is also an informal network that exists among travellers. Some share their travel experience on websites like ours, these are the pages of travellers whom we have met or whose pages have been useful to us.
