To be continued

Due to unforseen circumstances I have been recalled to work, I am saddened but I will return and do the trip from scratch again (that's a great excuse to meet up with people again).  

I am sad about returning, but it has been a great adventure and challenge thus far even if only half way round.  I will return :-)  Thankyou for everyones help, I am sorry if some people feel let down but I will finish this trip!
