A few final words from soggy Southbank after our 2018 Odyssey.
After such an ‘action packed', amazing journey blogging all the way, there is actually little left to say. Except “let’s do it again!” And also thanks to Wild Earth Travel who offers exciting destinations, to Sundowners Overland who have taken us to remote exciting places, and especially to our wonderful travel manager Bev Edwards who pulls all our wacky plans together and makes them work.
Four weeks back home and we have just about cleared the travel debris. We are now left with the enjoyable task of sorting photos, putting together a few slideshows and basically ‘chewing our cud’ - it has been a deliciously rich feast!
I came home with close to 6000 pix and who knows how many Lindsay has. And while I am on numbers, would you believe on our journey Melbourne, Beijing to Dublin through 10 countries we traveled over 22,000 Km including 1300 on the high seas and 5500 in a campervan around Scotland and Ireland. The rest? Through deserts, valleys and over mountains .... and more. An absolutely wonder-filled adventure.
We cannot wait to get back on the road again next year. Where to? North to the Arctic Circle travelling overland via North America as much as land will allow (then back again in the opposite direction).
In the meantime we have a date with a live volcano in the South Pacific and we hope to get some outback dust in our hair after that. Life is pretty good!
We start our Arctic expedition in Longyearbyen, Spitzbergen. In summer so maybe a little less ice!! But we are taking our woollies nevertheless.
