Round-up and Farewell

The journey is over, and I am now safely back home, settling in to my own house, and catching up with the friends and family who I had begun to miss a lot in recent weeks. It's difficult to reflect back on the whole of the trip, as the different sections have been so different. Staying in hostels in western, english-speaking countries, finding my way around bustling asian cities, discovering unspoilt beaches in New Zealand and Thailand, being looked after for ten days on the sort of hiking holiday I am used to, experiencing luxury on the train across Canada, and the absence of luxury on the train through India, tedium in airport departure lounges and thrills over the Grand Canyon, being stunned by the contrasting man-made beauty of the temples of Bangkok and natural beauty of the Blue Mountains.

I hope now to be able to use some of my experiences in the book I plan to write.

My first priority now the laundry is done and the post is sorted, is to start earning some money again. I sent off an application to an extras agency today!

Thank you to all of you who have kept me company with emails along my way.

I have added some photos to the last few entries and I'll sign off by adding a few more here which deserve an airing and which I didn't find room for earlier.
Here are the Brooklyn Bridge and the CN Tower in Toronto - more pics on a separate entry.
