Really nice! Great art and writing!
I sometimes wonder if I missed out by doing my trip solo. There were definitely times when I wished I had friends with me, but I don't think I have the patience required for group travel. Reading about your friends arguing made me really glad that I was alone on those long, wet, tired days of riding.
Anyways, I'm writing about my solo scooter trip if you're interested.
Sounds great! Traveling alone or with a group both have their own benefits and setbacks, I enjoy being alone as well, lets hear your story!
