All good things come to an end

Well, after four months travelling globe it is time to go home. It has been a trip of a lifetime and we have loved every second of it. It's hard to pinpoint our favourite place as each was totally different from the other and together they have made for an adventure we will never forget.

For those of you who have been bored by the long-winded stories, here is our trip reduced to numbers:

Total flights: 16
Kilometers flown: 49,529km (1.2 laps of the planet!)
Kilometers driven ourselves: 7500km
Oceans swam in: Atlantic, Pacific (incl. Tasman), Indian/Andaman
Books read: 33
Hottest temperature: 47 degrees celsius (Rio)
Coldest temperature: 10 degrees celsius (at night in New Zealand)
Rainy days: 7
Suncream used: 1.5ltr (and about the same amount of mosquito repellent!)
Number of B&Bs/Hotels/Hostels: 29 (incl. 6 weeks in the camper)
Best accommodation: Boipeba, Brazil
Worst accommodation: Newcastle, Australia
Time spent writing this blog and uploading photos: 1.9 days

We think everybody should go on a trip like this at least once in their lives. Who knows, we might be able to do it again sometime! But in the meantime it is back to reality for us. The job market awaits us, but hopefully the memories of our trip will make it easier to bear. At least we will have some nice desktop backgrounds and screen-savers to remember it by. First things first though...there are still a few weeks of the ski season left so let's see how many days skiing we can fit in!

Adeus, Sawadee Krap...until next time, as a wise lady once told us: You have to come back to go away again.
