Thanks Sabrina
I didn’t know that about the GP circuit!
So now I have 3 more questions.
1) Is the GP circuit open for the public on the 10th of September?
2) Is it permissible to take a motorcycle pillion on either Nordschleiffe or the GP circuit? And,
3) Can you please tell me how to find the ticket booth. I believe it is near the circuit entrance?
We are looking forward to arriving there on the 9th and will be sure to say hello if you are there.
Thank you.
Terry and Janelle

All on track and the timer is ticking
Well so far everything is coming together really well.
We've locked all this away...
Nights of 2nd and 3rd September at Camden Lock in London.
Then up to Royston to pick up the bike and 2 nights at Chequers, Royston.
On the 6th we ride to Hull and catch the ferry across to Belgium, landing at Zeebrugge around 7am.
Then we've booked the 7th and 8th at this place just near Bruge.
On the 8th we'll be heading down to the Menin Gate Ceremony which should be a real highlight.
From Bruge we have 3 or 4 days to make our way to Berlin for my birthday.
So all locked in and paid for.
We think booking any further in advance might just start locking us into timings we'd prefer to leave flexible.
Anyway, 47 days to go, and things are starting to get exciting.
Watch this space.
Cheers T&J

From the Qantas Club Lounge at Heathrow
The timer says 40 days, 14 hours and 6 minutes since we lifted off from Canberra way back on the 1st of September.
And although this trip turned out so very different to the one we had planned, we still had an amazing adventure. But now it's almost over. We're very sad to be leaving all the familiar sights. Paul and Alan's lovely apartment and your infallible hospitality really did become such a wonderful home, and indeed a genuine sanctuary. The canal, the long boats, the walk to the shops near Paddington Station, Westbourne Terrace, the pretty blue bridge, Bake and Spice breakfast bar at Maida Vale, the pub on the corner... and so so very much more. All strong memories that will stay with us forever.
So we stopped and took some photos of Warwick Avenue Station in the pouring rain as we walked up the stairs for the final time today. Then the last of the pack up, warm genuine hugs all round, before a taxi picked us up in the pouring rain and took over an hour to drive to the airport. Fixed price thank god.
We'll board the A380 in a couple of hours for 22 hours in a cocoon. A stop over in Dubai for 2 hours after an 8 hour flight, then land in Sydney 14 hours later. Short stop in Mascot, then onto Canberra landing at 9.15 Sunday morning EDST.
But as sad as we are to be leaving, winding up our adventure of a lifetime, although as it turned out nothing like we planned, we're also looking forward to seeing everyone at home again. We know we've been missed, and we've missed you too, and it's right, and it's good, and now is the time.
This blog isn't finished yet. There's a lot of things still needed in here, but for now, the adventure has to come to an end. Thank you for following us. Your comments, your emails and your thoughts along the way.
Some of you we'll see very soon, others not for some time. But we love and appreciate you all.
So for now, and for the last time from London, goodbye and goodnight and see you on the other side.
Janelle and Terry.

So, our last day here.
We plan to do the same breakfast we did on our first morning in London. Buy a coffee and fruit yogurt and go sit quietly by the canal to just take it all in. Although it doesn't look like the weather will be as kind. It's wet and freezing outside now. Looks like London is showing us it's true side at the end.
Then upon an inspiration, we'll take the Tube over to Camden for a wander around, before back here, grab all the luggage, say a fond and sad farewell as we walk slowly back to Paddington Station and the Heathrow Express.
Here's a couple of songs that you might want to listen to. Not suggesting we share the sentiments exactly, they're just really timely right now.
No explanation necessary.

Only 2 more sleeps...
Tomorrow is our last full day here before our appointment with Heathrow on Friday evening.
Going to see "Once" at the Pheonix theatre on the West End, have dinner with Paul and Alan and then, well find a nice way to see off our holiday together.
Goodnight from Little Venice.

What a way to say farewell to Paris.
Indulge me on this one if you will...
At no time during this entire 6 week adventure have we actually gone out to a club or pub at night, except for a meal, and then we've never really stayed. We've walked around a lot at night, but never done anything more.
So while walking through some Paris back streets yesterday we came across a couple of jazz/blues clubs, and decided that we might just drop into one of them for a drink and some live music. So about 10.30 last night we did just that.
They call it the "Tennessee Jazz Club", a dark almost empty bar on street level, with an intriguing stairway heading down to the basement where the unmistakable sound of live music wafted up to us. Why the hell not? So we wandered down for a look.
A small room, more like a cave really, about 20 people of all ages, a small bar in the corner, and a guy on stage playing acoustic guitar and singing in English. Then I noticed a few other guitars around the place, and it took me about 5 minutes to nut it out and talk to the organiser.
So, only half a drink later, I found myself on the stage, borrowed guitar, appreciative audience, and with the earlier singer lending his voice, we banged out a pretty good rendition of John Lennon's Imagine, followed by Under the Milky Way, Hotel California and then, of course Wish You Were Here, which I even sang for as the audience sang along.
What can I say! I haven't picked up a guitar for a month, so it was a bit rough, but even so, how many co-incidences came together for that to happen.
Our last night in Paris, playing a mini gig in a random bar, in a random back street, with a borrowed guitar and an appreciative random audience.
Seriously, how much more perfect could it have been?
