About to board a plane, I thought I’d say a few words about Australia. The trip around the cost has been awesome, but feels like a holiday as much as anything else. I’ve lived here for a few years, I speak the language, there’s a road infrastructure I understand and a bike shop in most towns. Too easy, as they say around here.

The bike has been faultless and the camping gear excellent. It’s been a good shake down run and I’m happy with my gear. But I’m under no illusions that the rest of the trip will be as simple. Next stop South Korea, where who knows what I’ll find? It’ll be quiet on the blog for a while now the bike is at sea, resuming in July.

A great time all round, but to answer the question. No, we’re not there yet!!
