Well even the best laid plans can sometimes go belly-up… Due to rapidly dwindling finances, following a still unsettled dispute with one of our suppliers which has left us over a thousand quid out of pocket, we have reluctantly decided to postpone the Canadian leg of our trip. We are also now a month late for our original plan of crossing Australia – due to a miscalculation of the distance we had to cover! The initial calculation of ‘2500kms’ which we arrogantly thought we could comfortably cross in two months was in fact more like 4500 kms! Sedef swears to Nic that she is much better in accounting than map-reading! :p
The misjudgement of timing means that even if if we had the funds we would be hitting winter months as we traverse Canada – another 4500kms+, and with the Rockies in between…
Sydney: our initial goal is now in sight and almost a year to the day in reaching! That we did plan well… We will be flying back to London on 27 July – the day our Aussie visas expire!
We are in no means finished with our circumnavigation plan – we will simply return at a future date to complete the rest of the tour!
