Well, this is it. The end is nigh. No more wanderings. In fact, the end has come and gone as I’m now back in good Ol’ Blighty, a hefty £5200 lighter (and that’s not including pre-trip and flight costs), where the only noticeable difference is the badgers that visit our garden have had a baby, and our bathroom is now painted white.

Simon, glad to know that you're back home safe and sound. i have to say that i will definitely miss the little bits of Simon that pop up in my inbox every week or two and I will also miss living vicariously through you as you do all sorts of things i will probably never get to! i've seen and learned a lot and i think you should become a travel writer...in case your next job doesn't work out. hope to talk to you soon!

Why should this be the end???
Hi Simon. Thanks also from your buddy from Aotearoa. Man, I flipped through some of your earlier blogs and only then one realises how much you have seen and experienced. I bet you will have a great time reading all this again yourself!! Great having met you and I reckon your email contact lis is probably as big as the grin you waer when someone asks you: So, what have you been up to lately? .... Little do they know... But hey, just as many have said before me, we enjoyed reading your many updates and now I wonder: why should it stop here? I would like to hear how you like the beginning of your professional life, the antics at work and your personal feelings about clashing with, no doubt, narrow-minded people, who have not had the privilege to do what you have been able to do. Love and Peace, Dude! Heiko
