So that’s it. The adventure is over 🙁

[Christchurch, New Zealand] It’s our last official ‘On the Road’ post !

After saying goodbye to our friends we boarded a plane at Christchurch airport heading for Singapore and then on to Johannesburg. All-in-all 30 hours of travel and then we still have to get down to Durban !

It’s been a truly amazing adventure. It will take a while for it all to sink in and I’m sure well be very busy getting back into the real world of work and bills. Once we’re settled down I’ll see what I can do about writing an epilogue and polishing up the blog a little so it can be a reference for others and a nostalgic website for us to visit.

Just a few quick stats while we’re thinking about it (for sure there will be more added later);

• 285 Days – that’s just over 9 months !
• 290 ‘On the Road’ Posts… that’s a lot of thumb taps on an iPhone!
• 270 odd comments from friends and family. Thank you ALL
• 17 Countries – if you include the UK, Myanmar, Hong Kong and Australia 🙂
• 10 000+ (30GB) photos taken… with 4 cameras (oops). It’s going to take a while to go through those !
• 4GB of pretty bad video clips
• 1256 Expenses captured by V into our expense sheet. Most of them correct 🙂
• AND a lot of Pounds, Euros, Roubles, Tugrik, Yuan, Kip, Dong, Riels, Baht, Ringgits and Dollars spent

No idea when we’ll be updating the blog. Technically I guess we are still ‘travelling’ until we buy a house, sign a lease or get jobs. So one last THANK YOU to all the wonderful people we met on the way and those that followed us on our trek.

Signing off for now… Simon and Vicki
