Done and Dusted


I've arrived! After about 4 months and over 7000km on the bike i've finally made it to Muscat.

The last stretch actually turned out to be one of the toughest - 8 days cycling through strong headwinds and the incredibly monotonous Omani desert with precious little shade.
Oman is quite different from the other arab countries i've visited. It's instantly cleaner, more developed - wealthier i guess but still the locals seem as kind and friendly as ever.
It's not quite hit home yet exactly what i've done or even why i've done it but it's good to be here. Post match analysis to follow...

Congratulations - it has certainly been interesting to follow your adventure as it unfolded.

I'm looking forward to hearing all about it when you get back to Hilldrop Cres.
