That's all, folks!

Our bikes on their way to Samosir Island, North Sumatra.

Happy New Year! We're very happy to be home.

In Bali over Christmas we decided to give that 'relaxation' thing a try (as recommended by several of you) and we rather enjoyed it. Highlights included diving amongst five huge manta rays. This is our penultimate blog entry; a final one will followed at a later date, aimed at cyclists interested in following our route.

Don't forget to check Flickr for our latest pictures.
