Day 98 - Paris

Our final day and while we could have done something culturally significant we thought why the he'll start know and headed for Disneyland instead !

Kev at Disneyland !
The visit was almost over before it started as KH who'd indicated he was well versed in roller coasters having ridden the big dipper at Luna Park some 30 years ago, decided to tackle Space Mtn 2 first up. This coaster corkscrews, loops and generally hurtles around a track at breakneck speed in the dark! KH survived just, going within 5 seconds of losing his breakfast and decided that 1 ride on the aptly named "Vomitron" was 1 ride too many !

A gentler effort on Buzz Light Year, a ride where players are armed with laser guns and shoot at creatures with targets scored KH 3000 pts impressive sounding until compared with self 95,000 the 3 year old girl in front of us 4,500 and her Dad 250,000. KH has promised to get his eyes chceked when back in OZ !

It was certainly a fun way to finish up over 4 months away from home a journey that has had so many amazing moments and an abundance of incredible scenery !

Despite it's moments cycle touring is definitely thereaputic for the soul and highly recommended - roll on the next adventure !

To Kev thx mate for being great company and a great friend - this guy loves his cycling and his effort to ride over 5000 kms with a few near death experiences ( not counting tge ones where i threatened him) was amazing !

To Viv and Linton our dear friends thx guys we love you !

To sis who added to her OS resume by joining us in France love to you also!

To everyone who has communicated by blog and by email thx so much for making us feel close to home !

We head back a little wiser and certainly humble at having had this remarkable life opportunity !

Ps -

You'll know when were back in Melbourne as you'll hear 2 old dudes
singing Disney's It's a Small World After all - can't get the damned song out of our heads!!!

Best wishes to all Mike & Kev
