This morning went up to the top of Effiel Tower ( 11.50 eur) for a bird's eye view of 360° on the city . Paris is such a big and beautiful city with the Seine River flowing in the center. Guess I will have a tough time to ride out of it. This were my 2nd trip to Paris, the 1st on an upright bike but was on train from Strasbourg to Paris . This time around has more ohmmm....On a recumbent!Found the way on bike to the Malaysian Embassy in Paris but was rather disappointed the office was closed due to Deepavali holiday. Will be leaving to Calais tomorrow.

Hello Brater,

WOW...BRAVO BRAVO.." MENG BOLEH ", we are speechless, the smiles said it all. We are all delighted that you have at last completed your extraordinary achievement of mission accomplished in such a short 210 days. Your achievements should be emulated or accorded the same status as our recent astronout's travelling to space. We at ttkS are so PROUDDDDD....of you, just imagined that a Malaysian can completed such a feat / mission with his own will power and self determination..... we can only say....WOW...cheers brater..

The photos also reminded me of my previous trip to the Eiffel Tower few years ago. The tower structures are so extraordinary and magnificience that it reflected the same attitudes and will power of " Meng Boleh " in all TTKs eyes.

We at TTKs will definitely give you a big welcome home party soon. Will you be probably reaching KLIA on the 30th Nov or 1st Dec ? Your flight nos, arrival time, etc. Please update us soon yah.

Meanwhile, have a pleasant journey from Paris to London, safe ride to you buddy and see you soon....

Three cheers to you....
Vincent & all TTKs back home

祝明兄完成壮举

明兄美梦天下溜,
亚欧遍地卧骑游;
见过艾菲意未尽,
犹访笨钟听其璆。


卧骑- 躺卧铁骑也。

斟酌推敲后稍作修改

明兄美梦天下溜,
亚欧遍地卧骑游;
攀高艾菲意未尽,
犹访笨钟赏其璆.

*******************
楼上说的“引你为傲”是“引以为傲”
或是“以你为傲”吧。
