After a very hectic last couple of weeks in Brisbane Eliza and I are finally on our way. I had most of my hair cut off about a week ago. I am really happy with the change and it will be much easier to manage when on the road. Dan gave me a hand to sort out my bicycle on Tuesday - we changed the tyres over and bought a new rear rack, changed the pedals, installed a wired bicycle computer (I can now track my distance and speed) and a few other things.
Eliza arrived thursday afternoon. We spent Friday doing last minute shopping at the bike shop and camping stores before spending a stressful 3 hours trying to get our bikes into boxes. In out excitement we placed everything into the boxes before we taped up the bottom of the box. We realised this when we lifted full box up to weigh it and everything threatened to fall out the bottom.
Saturday was a very busy final cleanup at the house and then family dinner. We left under the cover of darkness this morning and are now hanging out in Seoul airport. Eliza is currently watching Korean TV shows which seem as ridiculous as Japanese TV shows and contemplating purchasing kiwi juice. She is also rocking her bright yellow Broken Hill Slagfest T-Shirt.
We have a tentative plan to make our way to the Gobi desert for the first few days in Mongolia whilst my arm finishes healing up. It is getting better but the chance of breaking it again and causing a lot more damage is quite high if I fall off my bike before 6 weeks is up.
