GO FOR IT...how fantastic that you are so close. Forget those 5 million others on the track and enjoy this last bit. Look forward to hearing again in a few days...
Hey kiddos , what an achievement to only have 100 kms to go,,,,whoooooeeee. Poor John, no eyesight to read ...what time do you have to read anyway? Your footpaths have been varied .if not cow poo cornfields, rocky gorges and rounded stones. The ankles must be strong to take that.Budgens due Hong Kong today...their tripping just about over. Saw Emmeline in Melb, looks good. pity we didn't have time to see the unit or take her with some baggage to it on sat before we caught the plane home. Emailed Rich to wish him luck with exams but his address must be wrong as it was returned...must get from you again sometime. Keep up your new adventures....your mates did well but wooses not sleep on the floor....sorry guys.....Keep having new experiences...Much love Enjoy.
Poor blind Johnnie!! Tell him he is not alone. Mark keeps moving things that he is trying to read, suggesting the light is bad. He has finally admitted he 'may' have to get glasses when he gets back.
Well you will have to do those final 100 km now. There is no escaping to us in Europe any more. We left London with no hassle and arrived in Hong Kong with some hassle. (an hr in the taxi queue.... 29C and 100% humidity)
Sue arrives here tomorrow early for a couple of nights and then we all leave on the same midnight flight home on the 29th. She is hoping to get some clothes made. Maybe I will too, but not sure I can handle another round of fittings with a HK tailor.
Possibly once you get to London you will still be keen to do lots of walking. Now that you are such an expert and so fit!!!!
We are looking forward to getting back and seeing Emmeline's new home. I am sure she will have it set up and looking loved and lived in, within days of unpacking all her precious things.
Enjoy your last days of walking and remember to stop and enjoy the small moments.
Take care and much love
