Good point re. the camera - i'll find a way of carrying it! It'll either be a case of taking a small point and shoot or my dslr with 50mm prime so it's light.
That was just a bit under 3 weeks. But I wasnt "on the road" every day. In a number of small cities I'd spend 2 nights, which allowed me to explore things in detail. I could ride around town unloaded, and then walk here and there. Some of my riding days were short.

I used the Lonely Planet guide to find cheap hotels. I've heard L.P. has upscaled a bit since then, so I dont know if it helps find bottom-end accommodations anymore. Maybe I'm wrong about that. Beware of Sunday. Lots of stuff is closed.

Camera for absolute sure. Point and shoot so you can whip it out without a big hassle.
