The fact that I was blogging and it was so public did have an impact on the decision to come out early - I really didn't want to be seen publicly 'giving up'. But after a long chat with my mother and wife, I decided to come home earlier than planned. The blog helped me deal with a lot of the negative aspects of the trip - writing about these things always makes them easier to deal with. m Very interesting question.

Do you think that if your trip wasn't so public because of this blog, you'd have left Morocco sooner or later than you did? I’m wondering how having this blog affected your trip.

Do you think that if your trip wasn’t so public because of this blog, you’d have left Morocco sooner or later than you did?

Great to hear from you - good to see you got home from Gibraltar safe and sound - I hope you had a good time with us Brits and our silly habits of buying things in mens toilets! It is very cold here too. Charlotte was very naughty and tried to ride off with the bike - but it was just too big for her ! Email me. Ahhh Philipp!

Thanks very much for the warm comments - I've only just got back online since deciding to come home. It was definately the right decision - I've spent 14 days on the road and that's enough time for one to find their soul! Thanks again :-) m Hey guys!

You can go home anytime you wish but you could regret it. Motorcycling can be a solitary experience, often diluted by the traffic around you, but it’s about yourself and nature, with the motorcycle your key to this secluded freedom. Spending some time alone in a beautiful place creates for me joy. Not ebullient joy, but that quiet joy called inner calm. There is a difference between solitude and loneliness. Loneliness is painful. Solitude is replenishing. This is what I feel when I ride my motorcycle. I know I have someone to return to eventually. This private time, this walk in the woods, is as addictive as the company of any good friends. Best wishes for your journey. It’s just a mind set. You can go home anytime you wish but you could regret it.

It is very impressive to go that way after only 6 weeks planning. Spoke to Patrick yesterday and we both think you have done good. Come home mate don't stay if you not happy.
