As we’re nearing the end of the trip
Awww... can you go somewhere else and continue to send us pics please? :D

No gracias, I have no idea how we’ll readjust back to life in London (the idea of getting a job is not pleasant) but we’re both ready to come home and sleep in the same bed for consecutive nights.
About 3 or 4 months ago the novelty of being away and travelling plateaued. We’re still loving tour life but now it sits in balance with the thought of coming home and looking forward to everything we have back in London.
A never ending trip does not appeal, I think 18 months would have been the sweet spot for us.

Back to Alaska?

We took a week and a half off the bikes over Christmas we left Mendoza for another week of grinding through the arid desert until we finally hit Patagonia. Almost instantly the amount of greenery and water has gone from 0 to 100 and the landscapes are varied and interesting again. Amazing scenery combined with some slightly easier riding and resupply has made it feel like a holiday again. The weather has been warmer than normal and there have been countless opportunities to have a quick dip in one of the hundreds of crystal clear rivers. As we’re nearing the end of the trip and our energy levels are running low it’s been a very welcome change to have some easier days on the bike without having to worry about so much.
Next stop - the Carretera Austral!
