the last post

hi , i´m not entirely sure anyone is reading this so i will be brief.

10 days ago i made it to Rio , and unfortunately alone, andy and wei ling are still on their bikes but have taken a longer route to rio so will be there in a few more weeks.

i guess this blog does not really capture the scope of a trip on a bike for one year, all the highs and of course the obvious lows ........ i.e ¨breaking up¨ with my traveling companians.

i just finshed filling up my fifth notebook with my musings of the trip and unbelievely i have written something like 600 pages in the last year and to be quite honest i think the only person who will read it is my dad and even then only because he can speed read ........ and maybe me when i am an old man( or at least an older man).


new york was in fact so long ago that it feels like a different trip altogether, i have been spending my evening retracing the route and trying to send an email to everyone that looked after us on the trip , and not surprizingly that list is very long and of course the majority i have no way to contact, so really this is the only way i have to say thank-you to all those people who hosted us, who fed us , gave us directions and didn´t hit us on the roads,

a great trip with ups and downs .

now i am in guatemala and trying to learn spanish ,

and i will be home for christmas
