Homeward Bound

So I am posting this from Lisbon Airport in Portugal. Our flight from Rio was smooth and we arrived here at 5am Lisbon time (1am body clock time). I Michael slept about 3 hours, Helen not much. Our flight to Manchester looks on time so soon we will be back in the UK.

As we say goodbye to Brazil, I attach a video of highlights since Chile.

Over the last 8 months we have visited 17 countries and slept in 89 different accommodations. We have travelled 10,400km by bus, 9,500km by car, 800km by boat and 600km walking. We even travelled 5km by horse, 6km by cable car, 9km by canoe!

Obviously mixed feelings. Really happy to get back to see friends and family who we have missed so much. And looking forward to the simple things like own bed, shower, drinkable water from tap and western toilets, But also mindful of adjustments to make with Michael returning to a challenging job in less than a week and Helen starting a new challenge in her Masters.

Thanks for following our trip and look forward to seeing you all soon! Big Hugs.Read more
