After leaving Andrews Airport Parking, we only stopped once for coffee at Maccas Caboolture. We were home by 2:30am. Although it is the longest cycle tour we have done, it seemed very short. An indication that it went very well, which it did. After securing the vehicle and brushing our teeth, we climbed into bed and slept. We didn't shower because we had turned the HWS off while we were away and therefore had no hot water.
We got up about 8:30am, had breakfast then began the unpacking process. After all the clothes had been unpacked Wendy put them through the machine on a long wash cycle and then onto the line, while Greg was uncovering the solar panels for the HWS.
While the washing was drying, we had lunch then another little rest, obviously it was jetlag, but it didn't seem too bad this time. Some more tidying up, taking the washing off the line and putting it back in the cupboard for the next trip followed.
We will do a complete wrap-up, lessons learned, etc in due course, but here are a few stats:
- the trip was 87 days long
- stayed at 36 hotels and 37 rooms
- hotels ranged from 2* to 5*, and some were not even graded
- rode on six Euro Velo routes, through six countries, for ~2,500km
The kangaroos looked after the place and are still very relaxed. The yard looked pretty good.
