So we made it. 15 days. 3900 kilometres. Illness. Accidents. Breakdowns. Incidents. Unbearable cold. Unbearable heat.
We’ve seen it all in the past few weeks. We faced challenges, we overcame them and we had an amazing time through it all.
The ending is bittersweet.
Bitter because we couldn’t have Chris with us all the way to the end. Bitter because we’re saying goodbye to the very close friends we’ve made over the last few weeks. Bitter because our adventure is coming to an end and we’re headed back to the routine reality of our lives. Bitter because we leave the remarkable warmth and kindness of the Indian and Nepali people.
But of course, the sweetness of the trip cannot be understated. Sweet because we faced considerable adversity in completing the journey and we did it. Sweet because we now have lifelong friends who with all their hearts helped us through this race as we helped them. Sweet because we were touched by the the beauty, the culture, the history, and the people of India and Nepal.
We leave this journey having a lifetime of stories to share with our friends and family. Though we didn’t get to update the blog like a daily diary as we had originally intended, we will attempt to update it with anecdotes, stories, photos, video, over the next few weeks. Please be patient and continue to follow us as we attempt to document our entire journey.
Although it’s the end of this short adventure, we all know that life is a journey that never ends. Thanks to all of you for your donations to some fantastic charities, and your hilarious and witty comments, and your overall moral support. It means the world.
NAMASTE!
Sincerely,
Chris, Seema, and Rommy (Tuk Tuk Goose)
