Going solo

We have now cycled for about a month and a half and covered a distance of 2000 km in NSW. Seen so many nice places and meet many lovely people along the road. And had many nice mornings where we waked up to the sounds of the birds. We have both enjoyed it and it has been a fantastic travel so far. Seen so much and experience so much. But the cycling has also been tough sometimes cycling on steep gravel roads. But we have both showed that we can do it.

Now were are in Maitland and are heading for Canberra via Bathurst. Then the Australian alps. Our original plan meant that we would be out cycling for about 1-2 years. It's a long time and also mean that we can't do anything else during that time. We have been talking about what to do after we finished the cycling and we have some ideas of what we want to do.

Phim has been studying for the last three years and are really keen on getting back to work. It has not been an easy decision but we have decided that she will stop cycling now and go back to Thailand. There the plan is to do research for our own business and start a small café.  

We are both eager to have something of our own and this is something that feels really interesting. When she go to Thailand I can focus on the cycling and when finished I hopefully can join a already started business. This mean that we save a lot of time.

But it will feel strange, we've shared all trip so far and will feel really strange continuing alone. Will certainly feel very lonely and quiet. Hopefully it's just for the beginning. Had some rest days now and will start cycling towards Bathurst tomorrow. The positive thing with going alone mean easier planning and just stop whenever you want etc. But also heavier bike as I also need to carry all food now. 

Hopefully the cycling will be very inspiring because need some motivation boost right now :)
