Journey of a Lifetime...
As we said before, an amazing journey. Stories for a lifetime! We passed many times over the last couple of years. Would have loved to grab a beer. Thanks for all the great stories. You must be exhausted, but I still sensed a little bit of curiosity when you described places you would like to see someday. Best of luck in your "new" life and we hope to read more eventually!

Welcome home!
Welcome back to Auckland! Give yourself time to digest it all, that was one hell of a trip you went on. Hopefully this good weather hangs around for a while for you, and best of luck in making the decision where to call home for the next couple of years.

Home at last
You have obviously had heaps of adventures...heaps of highlights, Derek. I have thoroughly enjoyed the ride...vicariously but still a blast. Enjoy the rest...enjoy the itchy feet...pining to be back on the road.

Are you OK?
Did you find out what was causing you pain on that last day? I'm figuring you recovered or else we wouldn't have had this post. I was expecting an entry detailing your trip to the emergency room, or some such. Being sick while traveling sucks, and I'm hoping that whatever ailed you is now a thing of the past.

Yes, I'm fine
Haha, thanks so much for your concern - yes, I am fine. I went to see a doctor as soon as I got home and by then I was much better already. He said it was some sort of infection but it cleared pretty quickly. As of now I have a clean bill of health!

Incredible!
Wow, man! I am so impressed. You did it. This is the most insane journey I have ever read on Travelblog or even heard of anywhere. Move over Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta, you have company. Fantastic and I can't wait for your recap blogs. Congratulations and welcome home....you deserve a rest for sure!

Catching waves
There is something magnetic in photographing surfers catching waves...then there is where they do so. Lombok is your one of them. Well done!

Yum!
I can vouch for Matsuyo and Yoshinoya. I ate at Matsuyo several times in Tokyo, and Yoshinoya in Singapore. Both offer a pretty good meal for not a lot of money.

Wow...
I don’t even know where my ancestral village/town is; I doubt my parents know either. Kudos to you for making this journey.

Fake Venice
This photo looks exactly like ones I took of the Villaggio Mall in Doha, Qatar. Color scheme, bricks, bridge, boats, etc. A little weird....

How amazing that you got to meet distant family! Definitely brings a better and different feel to the place you visit.

Chungking Mansions
You are braver than I am. I walked into Chungking Mansions and walked right out. Scary place, if for no other reason than the open tangle of electric wires that you just know aren't up to code. That was about ten years ago, though, so maybe it's cleaned up a bit.

Hi, Most of you will have been directed here by me - if so, thanks for coming. If not, thanks for coming anyway. I am Derek - a Kiwi who in June 2007, set off on a 4 1/2 month sortie around Europe via the USA, and set up this blog so that friends, family and randoms could keep track of where I had been to, and of the shenanigans I inevitably got up to. The trip inspired me to keep travelling and directly following it, I spent the next seven years living in London, which was a fantastic base from which to continue my travels and thus the travelling continued unaba... full info
