Olivers Travels A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step...

24th May 2008: - Today we arrive home in the UK; emotions are running high as we touch down at Heathrow airport, our twentieth & final flight. Wow that sounds crazy, I still can not believe that we had the chance to do this & we would both do it again at the drop of a hat, just need to win some money first! Joanna & Jessica come running towards us once we walk through the arrivals at Heathrow. Like a scene out of a movie we stop smack bang in the middle of arrivals & have a huge group hug. Our time away has been an experience of a life time & we will both treasure every single minute of it. From the bad, Drew nearly breaking his leg in New Zealand (Sorry did not want to worry anybody at that point in time), to the unforgettable kindness that the people of Nepal expressed. We would like to thank all of the people that we met along the way; you have made our travels very special. It was so good to meet so many like minded people & to exchange travel tips, which we were able to use for the remainder of our travels. Although I think we also received many tips on places that we need to visit in the future! Lastly we would like to thank all of our family & friends back home in the UK. Thank-you for reading this blog & putting up with my awful spelling & grammar (I was never that good at English). You were all very supportive when we told you that we were heading off for a year & you remained supportive whilst we were away. THANK-YOU X
