The final leg

East Sussex- sept 2nd

We have spent the last week flying through the wind and cold of western europe, driving on 'proper' roads and meeting some great people.

Prague- a lovely weekend with Ants and dad, followed by a press conference at the British embassy

Germany- met Daniel and Susi, who travelled from Bangkok to Germany in their own TT last year; thanks so much guys for looking after us

Belgium- met up with a BBC cameraman and then stayed with Sam and B, who we first met about 6 months ago when we were squeezing people for advice; they treated us like superstars and we had a great night- thank you

France- the tunnel under the sea; French drivers are not much better than the Germans and definitely worse than the Belgians

UK- yes, can you believe it. TT has arrived back in Blighty and we are holed up in a secret location in East sussex, ready for the last 50km tomorrow

So many emotions I cannot really articulate now. However, I feel like a stranger in my own country- WEIRD.

Hopefully see some of you faithful bloggers in Brighton tomorrow. 3.30pm 3rd september, Bartholomew Square
