01/10/08 - 14,554 miles later.

Wow!!! We're finished!!! Back to London in one piece. What a feeling
of satisfaction, sadness, joy, reality check, relief. You name the
emotion - its probably in there somewhere.

I think its a sure sign that we had seen enough of this great
continent and were ready to finish when we arrived at the ferry
terminal 3 hours early. That was alright though, we got put on an
earlier crossing meaning we didn't get round to spending our remaining
Euro's or stocking up on wine, gifts or chocolate:-(

A rather rocky crossing (didn't matter to me cause I was still feeling
dizzy and woozy before we got on the boat anyway), then a fantastic
view of the White Cliffs as we came into Dover and back to England!!

Marea adapted to driving on the left and got us home in record time
(poor Pat) where Marea's brother Liam has kindly put us up until the
23rd when its time to head back to New Zealand, and back to the real
world - a job!!

In that time hopefully we will be able to sell the van and see
everyone who is still over here. First job - to turn the van upside
down and give it a good clean!!

For those who have managed to follow this blog all the way through -
well done to you! Sorry if we've managed to put you to sleep with all
our tales of walks, mountains and driving. Don't worry, you won't be
getting any more day by day accounts.

But watch this space - there will be a special edition.... sooner
rather than later!!
