On MY world tour, my ship capsized, I got caught in a burning skyscraper, aliens vivisected my riding companion, a giant gorilla ran off with my girlfriend, and my bike was crushed by the ice in the Waddell Sea. Oh, and it rained a little one day in Wisconsin.
But seriously, Roughstuff, I'm envious, somewhat proving that "Most people who tour are partly in it for the adventure."
