The end of an epic journey… and the next adventure!

We had one last night out in the funky city of KK which is so cool that Jen and Debbie are still there now catching their breaths from this epic journey and maybe recovering from our final night.

A night to be remembered, we started with drinks on the deck with a sunset that played ball giving the appropriate end to this add-on-Odyssey. Next, a few doors down we sat down to dinner and then back to the loft for drinks and dancing on the balcony. Heading off to “Bed” which sounds sensible if it hadn’t been the name of the club just down the road…

The topic for the evening was mostly dominated by the time gone past. Hard to comprehend everything we had been through we discussed the highs and the lows, the people and woes. What a trip!

I’ll say again this has been an amazing adventure, made by the people and the places we visit. Good byes are hard at the end and must be said. Dehydration from deserts and altitude were replaced with tears that night as the final bell rung for the end of the biggest overland route in the world.

Thanks again to everybody, not just the Borneo bunch who joined us for the 21-day add-on.

Extra thanks to Robin who lent a hand packing the truck up in Melaka.

Cher and I are now holed up in a hotel in Kuala Lumpur finishing the final bits and getting the truck ready for shipping back to the UK where it will be made race ready for the next incredible trip from London to OZ.

We will be running the Africa trip next year. Back to our home country and familiar surrounding it’s bound to be another epic adventure to heart of the dark continent.
