Goodbye Western world – it’s been a pleasure.

The next time we’ll be on a bike will be navigating the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, and the next English speaking country we’ll be in will be … England in eight months time.

Aside from being adrift in the South Pacific Ocean – or in outer space – we are currently as far away from home as we can possibly be.

Dunedin, a city in the south of New Zealand, is officially the furthest city in the world from London where we left four months ago.

How many natural disasters have you slept through?

Katie’s running total is now two. The first was when we were stupidly camping in Storm Katie in March 2016 – our tent was on the verge of being blown off the ground in 100 kph winds but Katie still got a good eight and a half hours.

We were discussing the other day, what we would say if we were hauled up to give testimony in court. We’re under cross-examination, the lawyer asks us: “Where were you on December 22nd 2016?”

The answer is… we weren’t there. We didn’t have it.  We literally didn’t exist on that day.
