The diary of a Scot in Amsterdam

(while travelling through Europe and Asia by bicycle)

The end

Well, we have made it.

After nine months, almost to the day, 16 000 kilometres (10 000 miles), and eight countries, we have arrived in Hong Kong. It’s the end of the road, the finishing line, and the conclusion to about the most exciting, eye-opening, and bizarre episode of my life.

There’s too much to think about right now, too many things to organise, and no space to do it in the frantic, overheated insanity of this most overwhelming, energetic, and capitalistic city. When I have returned to my senses, I will write something here. But for now, it is time to stop cycling, relax a little, and slowly return to normality. Although what that is exactly is very hard to define at present.

    I just noticed the little thingy under your map saying ‘click here to collapse’. Made me giggle.

    Thank you Chris for your blog. You’re a great author. Every few week I gave prints to Astrid’s colleagues at the organic market, who where just as eager to read your stories as I was.

    Congrats to both of you!
    Eventhough haven’t read all the episodes but only the end, I promise to fill the gaps before we meet and ask loads of questions!
    All the best,
    Loads of kisses,
    Demi
