Well guys as the famous saying goes "All good things must come to an end" but we are not classing this as the end but more like a new beginning for us. After 18 aeroplanes, (2 left) 1 helicopter, 33 trains, 48 buses, 42 boats, 2 camels, 1 elephant, 1 bamboo raft, 1 tractor inner tube, 1 paraglider, 2 pairs of weary feet and thousands of tuk tuks and rickshaws we are on the verge of returning to the UK for the first time in 364 days.
