OUR ROADTRIP INDEX Well, we talked about this trip for a long while, then we travelled the dream and made it happen for a long while too (14mths total). Now all thats left to do is update this journal, iron out the mistakes and make it useful to other aspiring travellers who are planning a similar route. More importantly this travelblog is a great source of amusement for both Tilly and I to reminisce over for years to come. Memories are a wonderful thing full of imagery, sounds and smells that can take you right back to anywhere in your time! Check out our last blog and video diary surprise return (its and absolute corker). Please feel free to add a comment to our journal, it would be great to hear from you.
