We originally met Tom & Nico in Spain then in Morocco, after which they headed West to South America, as we turned Eastwards. Little did we know that our paths would cross again, but they did, so we spent a weekend catching up and dishing out our tales of life on a bike in the other direction. At time of writing, they're headed back through Europe now and should soon be home after nearly two years on the saddle. Well done lads. Find out more about their story at www.world2gather.com

From The Car Connection (http://www.thecarconnection.com/review/1036492_2010-honda-element) -
The 2010 Honda Element still makes a style statement that's unlike any other. Even for those who don't think the Element is attractive, it's hard to argue with the beauty of its stark functionality.
Most reviewers appreciate the Honda Element for its high-utility form, though it's tough to single out particular details. The 2010 Honda Element falls somewhere between the small crossover/SUV/minivan segments and boasts an upright, boxy shape. Last year the Element received a slight styling refresh, from which Car and Driver observes, "Honda has retooled its Maytag-square Element to be more urban-hipster chic, with a lower ride height, bigger wheels, and body-color bumpers." Motor Trend reviewers note that "the most obvious change to the 2009 Honda Element is right up front, where the grille has been restyled to mimic Honda's new bold chrome ring look first seen on the redesigned 2009 Honda Pilot," although they are thankful that, "other than the fresh nose, the Element's easily recognizable look and shape remains."
Though the new styling elements are relatively minor, Autoblog finds them significant enough to report that "the new Element is certainly an improvement over the outgoing model, at least in the looks category." Edmunds declared that the Honda 2009 Element "remains one of the most distinctive and useful shapes on the road," and TheCarConnection.com's editors agree.
Slight styling changes were made to the Honda Element's interior for 2009, and those carry over for 2010. Changes are basically limited to slightly different trims, materials, and switchgear, though the basic interior design remains the same. Most reviewers appreciate the Element's style inside, as ConsumerGuide praises the "simple, convenient climate and audio controls." Autoblog reports that "the Element's interior includes new color combos, titanium-look accents, and switchgear designs," while Cars.com notes the availability of "a new three-compartment overhead storage unit" on the EX and SC trims. The only major complaint regarding the interior comes from ConsumerGuide, which points out that the "hooded gauges are hard to see in some light conditions, and are partly obscured for tall drivers by the steering wheel."
Conclusion
Not everyone will agree that the 2010 Honda Element is good-looking, but style-conscious shoppers with an eye for utility will like what they see.
I'll be carrying kit for two people over the next few months. The steering is very heavy compared to my usual setup - this is the first time I've used front panniers.
Still shooting out of the moving tuk tuk, here is another one of those hard working trishaws. Only here, the driver appears much younger and he is running on empty. We spotted scores of these trishaws in the old city areas in Amritsar. These chaps lead a pretty tough life. And although using their services does earn them a living, for me personally at least, the idea of another human being busting his butt to pedal me around congested city streets and up steeply sloping roads somehow does not gel with me. I'm by no means light, and some of these chaps are pretty frail. (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)

At the time, the back of this truck summed up our feelings about India pretty well, as there really is a great country in there somewhere, but to discover it, you have to see past a load of everything else.
