Well its finally happening, we're sitting in an internet cafe in Singapore on route to Nepal. We're at the internet cafe because our hotel wanted to charge us $27 for internet access, $1 at an internet cafe sounds much better to me.

We spent the day at the zoo today. It's very impressive, the favourite was definately the polar bear.

Our farewell tour around the North Island went well, we covered 2216 km over ten days but had a great time with family. We returned home to pack up the house. We were a little supprised how easily it fitted into a 3x3m storage unit with space to spare. So if anyone in New Plymouth is looking for somewhere to store some stuff get in touch we're happy to sub-let a couple of cubic meters!

Anyway time's about to run out, we're very excited about finally reaching Nepal.

God Bless
