THE HOMECOMING: (Bend, Oregon, USA)



WE MADE IT!! …we came through Death Valley, and onwards to Yosemite Valley, and did the final leg past Crater Lake National Park to finally arrive in Bend. Population 80,997. We enjoyed a triumphant entry into Neko's hometown and timed our arrival as a surprise for USA Mother's day. We have cycled several hundred miles, climbed over mountains, overcome some demons, suffered some chafing, and now need a bath. We've met great people and seen some of the most beautiful places on the planet.

We didn't get to see Sequoia National Park as they were snowed in, so we made a special effort and another 6000 ft climb to get up to some giant Sequoia trees in Yosemite. It's been an epic trip - hard work, and wonderful. It sounds like an episode of Monkey. 

We are still hoping to raise a bit more money from our cycle ride for the Salvation Army in Greece. It's not too late. It goes towards the work with the homeless and human trafficking in troubled Greece - Please do sponsor us at the link on this page!
