Hi Guys,
To be honest the halfway point of my journey was actually 8 days ago on the 4th of June, but you're going to have to forgive me as I'm on holidays and everything is running on cruise control. The first half of the trip has been a blast, despite a few casualties, namely I have worn out the seat of my pants and had to replace them, but I had been wearing them for 135 days straight (between washes of course), so they definitely earned their keep. I have also blown a plugger on one of my thongs (I haven't replaced them yet, I just wear them around the hostels and without warning they will give way and chaos ensues, followed by some polite curse words) and my left boot has worn itself a hole in the leather. However aside from some of my gear letting me down, the holiday thus far has been a great success, I have found a nice balance between rest, relaxation and raucous fun. Thank you all for joining me vicariously through my travel posts and especial thanks to all of you who have taken the time to email with compliments on, and stories of how much you're all enjoying the pictures. I look forward to a back end of even more fun as I spend my last month in the USA and head to Europe and beyond,
Stay well all
David
