The world is a small place. On Saturday 2nd September we completed our bike ride around it – and so closed the final gap on the map we’ve been updating for the last eleven months. We have now officially cycled round the world – it’s a great feeling.

France – we’re sorry for taking you for granted.

Because you live next door and have always been there, we’ve never appreciated how brilliant you actually are – and how lucky we are to have you by our side.

“What’s been the scariest moment of the trip so far?” It’s one of our most frequently asked questions.

Until now it’s probably been the nut incident, or any number of traffic moments, but both were eclipsed last week at a hotel in Kanpur.

It was like being at war.

Midnight thunder banged and crashed around the surrounding hills like bombs exploding, getting ever closer and louder.

We’re on the home stretch now – Athens to London. From one of Europe’s greatest cities to another seems a fitting last lap to finish our trip. Athens is an open-air museum – everywhere you turn there’s an ancient monument, or temple.

Exciting news for our readers… we’re engaged!

No jokes this time – here is the proof!
