Hello

Australia to UK (80 kms OS)

Sep 02, 2011

Well our travel time was just short of 24hours from Australia to the UK with a couple of hours break in Kuala Lumper and then a strong tail wind landing us 25minutes early at 5.25am this morning at Heathrow. From there we took the Underground to Kings Cross St Pancras station passing through a number of Monopoly board stations along the way then on to Faversham where we met up with Gareth at the Bike Shop and after a lot of reorganising luggage and bike bits and changing into our bike gear we headed off to Marshside near Canterbury. It was a tonic to see my little bike looking a lot better than I left it after the accident in France last year except for some significant scrape marks on the exhaust where it slid down the motorway.

It’s been a nice balmy day here today and after we stowed our cases we headed off for a short ride to get a few groceries and do a little exploring. Back home now and are looking forward to a good tramp along the lanes before we head to the local pub for dinner then bed.

Not sure how often I will update the blog. It will depend on where I get WIFI service and how committed I am but even if it is loaded sporadically I will keep track of the days so if you want to check out particular legs of the trip it should be easy enough to do so. Can’t believe the adventure has begun!



At home at St Kilda
