our lovely cycling trip has, unfortunately, come to an end. i am back in australia, rob is in china, and paul is in sierra leone (i think!). obviously we needed some space. there are very few continents big enough for the three of us. after almost getting lost on our last day of cycling (actually pushing our bikes through sand), we arrived in tanzania, ate some seafood, and beelined (sans velo) to arusha to watch some elephants rub their butts up against some trees. after fulfilling that fantasy, we headed to kenya to watch some lions tearing chunks of meat of an unfortunate zebra, and hang out with a friendly, but short, masai warrior named kios. rob and i farewelled paul, who went off to uganda, then i farewelled rob. i ate two great ethiopian meals, got a a big plane, rode agross the island of mauritius twice (once along the coast and once through the mountains), hopped on another big plane that luckily landed in sydney, unluckily before i had the opportunity to get any sleep. i might keep blogging in another spot. please check our photos one last time to savour the flavour of africa. it has been great, thanks for staying in touch. xo
