Goodbye Africa

Accra, Ghana. 8220 miles

So this is it. This is the last blog entry from Africa as we fly back to London tonight.
For the first time since Fez, we are gan Capall/sans cheval/without horse.

On Monday the bike was emptied of fuel and oil, strapped to a pallet and put in the hold of a London-bound cargo plane.
We hope!
From there we take the final road trip back across the UK to the boat for Ireland.
Is there any point in us hoping for 35 degrees when we get there?

It has been an amazing experience and we both love that our understanding of this massive continent has been marginally improved.
We've had some challenges, some adventures and plenty of fun but overall we have to say that the trip was easy.
The people here made it so.

Thank you to everyone who followed our trip and to everyone who gave comments and encouragement. We appreciated everything and had many a laugh at various comments and e-mails you sent.

We'll do a wrap-up e-mail when we get back home.
Bye.
