Sadly our mission is now complete.
We loaded the bike into the container at Felixstowe.
Had an argument wth bloke thats ships the bikes, who is a complete tosser. If you ever want to ship a bike anywhere I would strongly reccomend not using this comany. Dave Milligan is a complete wanker and will never see another cent from me the lying, obnoxious prick that he is. He can do as his company name suggests and get routed.
(postscript: We were routed around further by this moron when the bike got back to Brisbane. Use him at your peril)
We then caught the train into London and the tube onto Morden where we are couchsurfing with Pete & torsten.
We have spent the last few days doing all the usual touristy things around london like the London eye, Thames river cruise, Open top bus tour, Hampden castle etc etc. I won't bore you with all the details suffice to say we have had a great time and huge thanks to Pete & Torsten for taking us in.
London eye veiw.
Sam got on famously with Henry the 8th at Hampton castle. He really liked her raincoat apparently.
The Jack the ripper walking tour was great.
The guise was brilliant and really passionate about the story of Jack the Ripper.
Our bus tour got caught up in the mayhem of the Harry Potter premier at Trafalgar Square.
We had a geat dinner at an Italian resturant (like we havnt had enough Italian food) with Pete & Torsten then headed home.
This morning we fly out on our QANTAS A380 (dont worry we are taking our helmets as carry on to be safe)
It has been an amazing 7 weeks and the trip of a lifetime. We have done some amazing things and met some awesome people, many of which will now remain lifelong freinds. To anyone that we met or came across or met on this trip reads this, we thank you for making our holiday so memorable. Everyone has been fantastic. We hope you have enjoyed following our adventure and as always welcome your comments, emails or questions at any time.
See ya
Guy & Sam x

Aah geez mate, thanks, that was awesome.
You'll have to get one of those foot-washing thingies installed at home.
Don't know what page it was, but that pic of Buzz and you in the little hats was pure class! You're such a dag.
Looking forward to a boring little ride with you all somewhere around SEQ.
Pete.
