- His original plan was to ride back through the same route, but now with the baking heat rising every day, he has dropped the idea on friends' advice and will fly to Austria in a day or two.
- While on top a mountain in Oman, he was struggling to find a place to sleep, as Franz does not ride at night.
- He says that he was amazed at the mountainous topography of Oman and driving though the terrain is a delightful and adventurous experience.
