With over half the 25,000+ km under our belts, only 9 nights spent in a not moving bed, and our halftime day fast approaching I thought I'd leave a quick post to make sure you're all getting as much of interest you can from our blog.
Posting every 3 - 7 days, each entry is split into two with a short monologue from me summing up hopefully a balance of boring reports of our progress mixed with notes on our experiences, sights we've seen and people we've met, and then a photo entry which, when you click on it, takes you to the full album of photos - generally 50 or so per posting, captioned as fully as we're able to with the limited internet time we have.
We update the map of our route on the 2 Bridges tab of this site as often as we can showing our route, stopping points we've reached in red and those still awaiting us in blue.
Fund-raising is going along well and we've raised over 3,000 pounds including Gift Aid so far and hope to raise another good amount by the time we reach Sydney. Thanks to all of those of you who have contributed to Doctors of the World, and for those of you who haven't but are enjoying following our progress any donation however large or small would be very much appreciated.
Doctors of the World provides emergency medical disaster relief around the world as well as running ongoing public health projects in both the UK and developing countries. Just 8 pounds funds a malarial treatment. A small sum to potentially save a life. More details on Doctors of the World is on their website:
www.doctorsoftheworld.org.uk/
Donating only takes a minute clicking on the "Donate" link on the right hand side of this page or here. Every penny donated goes straight to the charity.
Lastly, thanks so much to all of you for following us. It means a lot to have your support through this often tiring yet incredible trip, so please keep with us on our second half of the journey south to Sydney.
Rob & Will
