The End

We have now got over our jet lag and have had time to reflect on our nine weeks away.  We disagree about Egypt, but agree that there is more to Australia than Sydney and that there is so much more to see.  We have liked the developing countries, e.g Cambodia, Vietnam, PNG and loved our overland trips through India and China.  It is far too hard to pick a 'best of' but there are many countries we would love to revisit. 

We made friends and hope that these may be life-long. We opened and broadened our minds incredibly and can only conclude that the whole trip has been life-enhancing.  Ashley says that were he to 'pop his clogs' tomorrow, he will die happier for his recent travels and the experiences gained.

We are using a US website to print our blog in a hard cover format - for the coffee table!  There was a space to fill with our comments, but we chose to find a suitable quote about travel instead.  I think it sums up our feelings.

 “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Mark Twain
