It started off a bit rough; delayed flight out of nice, missed connection in Gatwick, missed the last boat once I did make it to guernsey, unexpected hotel stay etc
But I finally made it to The island, packed my belongings and sent them off to be shipped.
I've spent every day this week preparing for the next part in my adventure.
Making sure Melinda is top fit for the trip, organising insurances, fitting a few final items to Melinda, getting my camera cleaned and finally ensuring that I will be fit enough to take on this mammoth feat.
3 months on the road, many thousands of kilometres, nights under the stars, strange and wonderful foods and people.
It will be epic.
I'll also be sure to catch up with a few friends along the way, go to all the parties I can, push my physical, emotional and spiritual limits.
From the glaciers and volcanoes in Iceland to the monkeys of Gibraltar, the German beer to the whisky Of Skye. It just has to be done, and what better person to do it.
I invite you to follow my (mis) adventures.
Laugh because of me or at me, it's all the same to me. Just keep smiling.
I hope our paths will cross sooner or later.
