Good to read that you guys are now back on the road/wall again after your series of setbacks. I must admit that I do agree with some of George's sentiments above. I think like George, I tuned out a little during the middle bit - 'we walked/camped/our boots froze' bits ... and like any good fair weather supporter from Sydney I've come back at the end to cheer home the victory! And then kapow! Rocks raining down, some sauce on the cheek, can't walk for fear of rubbing salt into your own wound (bummer), talk of quitting having walked 3 bazillion miles over 7 years and so close to the finish .... great stuff while sitting at my desk at work :) Wow, looks like a good hit!

It looks really sore, but I'm looking forward to telling Asher you are a pirate when you get back and show us that scar. “Jeebers” wasn’t the first word out of my mouth when I saw that photo of you B, but you get the idea.

Hope that all your recent setbacks are behind you now and that you soon start to smell some sea air. Would have liked to pop over and see you at the end , but there are still no direct flights due to the political situation. Love, Robert.

You know, all that other internal foot, appenedix (was it appendix? I can't remember because it was BORING!) stuff was an inconvenience an added a little paint to your canvas, but this is good, this is HOLLYWOOD!. Just the right amount, so no more please. Just think of a couple of things to think of ... you could be like those other British people that passed you ... their book might be exciting but it won't be as looong. Yours, on the other hand will be the Dostoevsky, trials and tribulations, blood, despair, lows and of course the apex, pinnacle, checkered flag, Pavalova and the ultimate ... "please return your seats to their upright position". You could also be at home battleing over water policy in a country without any ... writing about Trevor and Susan's new house and their Charles and Ray Eames chair and their 5,000 litre water tank, traffic on Military Road and widening of the Spit Bridge ... all that stuff is not going anywhere. I'll tell you, before you know it, your photos will be like the ones that people took of each other climbing the Pyramids ... old and irreplaceable ... you won't be able to do it soon. Anyway ... we'll put the party pies back in the freezer, we'll take the fruit and cream off the Pav and put the bladder of fruitilexia wine back in the carton, and we'll send the Toowoomba High Marching Band back to school until you tell us to fire it all up again. Who knows, maybe my little kid will be walking by then and could do the last few kilometres with you.
