The End of the Road


After travelling for almost a year, over ten countries and 30,000km, by bus, train, boat, hitchhiking, motorbike, tuk-tuk, and our own worn-out two feet, we can safely say that we have learnt one thing. Despite our effort and enthusiasm, we are infact terrible travellers. We are forever lost, disorganised, losing things, unable to make decisions, unsure of ourselves, or where to go. If we can survive such a journey, it is definate proof that almost anyone can do the same, and probably even more.

So at the end of it all, a massive thankyou, to everyone that helped us to make it across the continent in one piece. The greatest surprise of our trip was the amount of people who went out of their way to welcome us into their homes, or to show us something of their lives. So thanks to all of those whose paths we crossed and to those who became good friends. And of course, xiexie to our pengyou in China for making our time in Kunming hen hao.
