And so the end is near...the last leg is our final flight back up to Manchester and completes our 8 month journey around the world!  There are engineering works at the moment between Manchester Airport and Preston, so we ended our travels in the manner to which we have become accustomed - on a bus!  Fortunately it only took an hour and the M6 wasn't too busy - that would have been a nightmare!  It was really great to see our Mums and Dads and start catching up with family and friends after all this time.  Now we have to start getting our heads round job hunting, then flat hunting and getting used to normality.

We feel so lucky to have been on a trip of a lifetime, we've been to some beautiful and spectacular places, had some incredible experiences and met some fantastic people.  We've also enjoyed sharing some of what we've done with our nearest and dearest through writing this and hope you've liked hearing about our adventures.

It's impossible not to start thinking about where to go next, from places that are right on our doorstep to more exotic (and expensive) destinations. Meanwhile we'll bore you lot with our stories and eight months of photos, which are already being compiled into a thrilling several hour long slide show!!  Something for you to look forward to...
