Vietnam Cycle Challenge Postscript

Only four days since we arrived back in Sydney and already the adventure seems an age ago. Got an email from Don last night passing on the limericks he and the lads had written for everyone and got another chuckle from those.

When we left each other, we parted with protestations of keeping in touch and meeting again together at a reunion - I hope both these things happen, as I've shared a very special part of my life with Tony, Lee, Katie, Don, Gumza, Hugh, John, David, Marc, Sue, To, Chris, and Wal. Marc and Sue were staying on, as were Katie and Lee, while Hobbo and Wal were heading off to Hong Kong for the Rugby Sevens. When the rest of us got back to Sydney, the combination of a "full house" at baggage claim and customs, along with places to go and people to see, meant we simply dispersed rather than took our leave from each other.

To anyone reading this blog, if you haven't been to Vietnam, go - what a wonderful country and people; if you haven't done a "road trip", do it. To my friends with whom I shared this special time - thank you!
