We can hardly believe it. 5 months ago today we left Manchester and haven’t stopped moving since. It’s an odd coincidence that on that first day of our adventure we spent the night on a ferry crossing the North Sea to the Eurasian continent and tonight we’ll be sleeping in a junk on the South China Sea (Ha Long bay) at the far eastern end of the same land mass. We have had an amazing time but it really feels like we are just getting warmed up. Our little 10kg packs are holding up just fine and their contents have been adequate (to be honest we have hardly been into the bottom two thirds of those packs since leaving Mongolia). We are both in good health except for minor colds and distractions. This traveling business is hard work and we are in need a ‘long weekend’ off – that’s what Thailand is about in about a month or so.

Then there’s my V. You would think that spending 24 hours a day together for that long would leave one of us wanting to drown the other in the nearest bucket, but you would be wrong. It is amazing to travel with her. A match that is perfect. Bring on the next 5 months I say 🙂

Love you rexie. x
