I made it back to Australia today. Woohooo!! It's nice to be back and be able to stop for a little while, even if I am not quite home yet. I have transferred all of my photos to the computer and the next thing in line to do is to unpack and do some washing. Getting through Customs today was a breeze, much different from my last experience of Customs in Melbourne, which was off a flight from Hong Kong at Chinese New Year!!

The photo I have put up is from our guest house in Chiang Khong in Thailand. Chiang Khong is a border town between Laos and Thailand, and we spent our first night here before heading across the border and then up the Mekong on a slow boat to Pak Beng.

I will write up a detailed account of the trip but for now I need to get some domestic things sorted :)

The ride was awesome! It felt great to get off the bikes at the end of it and see what we had achieved. I counted up my training kilometres before I left and realised that in the two months of riding I hadn't done much more than the total we did in six days in Laos... and there were definitely a lot more hills on the roads we just travelled on.
