To FrederictonBrad and Treena From Charlottetown PEI, to here in Fredericton has been our most consistent biking of the trip. We are consisitently biking 100km day after day, and are now giving ourselves a break. Today is the first day we have had off since we started cycling again from Stephenville. From Charlottetown we rode 60km to the Confederation Bridge. Bikes are not allowed on the bridge, so we had to be shuttled across. There is a toll booth, cameras, traffic workers who think they are cops, its not one of those things where you can just go for it. It is also 12, or maybe 20 km long. We stopped for snacks after the shuttle. and biked another 50 km to where we camped. We had 2 more hugely rewarding days to follow. The first ... read more

These early morning flights are killers. Leaving Anchorage like leaving darwin at 2 in the morning. We have had such an emotional sendoff: sad to leave Lisa who has been such a fantastic host, elated to have just seen bears and not only one but four, must local local would never have such an experience; sad again because we have come to the end of our Alaskan adventure so jam packed with heart stopping moments and as Maree said " I have never had such a sustained good time in my entire life"; but once again prepared for new challenges and more adventures.

Answer their questions. My ... read more

Hello everyone, Well I am back to work in the Yukon, in a small town called Faro. There is about 400 people living here. It's a pretty quiet little town compared to other communities I've worked in, and I mean quiet, like nobody is out and about after 9 pm, nobody. Luckily, I'm a loner and don't really care. I've been so busy travelling over the past 6 months, it's kind of nice to have a place to unpack and some time to reflect on my recent adventures. Of course it's also good to have an income again. Faro is a 5 hour drive northeast of Whitehorse. It used to be a busy mining town back in the 70s, so there are all these abandoned buildings around town, which looks kind of depressing, but makes ... read more
