This is it.

Where have we been? Paying off half a year's rent on Susheel's new internet cafe down on Kovalam beach, India? Probably. No - definitely. I suspect that in all his years he will never have customers like us again. By the way he gripped my hand today with a big smile and the hint of a tear in his eye, I'm pretty sure he came to the same conclusion.

Still, Susheel's off to a good start on his two month old business. Running a 24 hour internet cafe as sole owner and worker must be tough. Seen in that light our imminent arrival in London to find shelter and Work must be considered a piece of cake.

Work? Yes - it's come to that time of our travels many of you have been looking forward to. Rubbing of hands and stomping of feet and hooting can now begin. I know I know - reading these airy musings and hearing about our daily dilemmas (to the beach, or to the restaraunt?) must've been tough and torturous. We loved every minute of it.

We're already receiving emails almost bursting with joy at the fact we have to once again join the ranks of you. Fortunately for us we've built up a strong, healthy appetite to once again join the fray - so London presents just another wonderful opportunity in this big round world. We're busy right now painting signs for our daily London walk: 'Will work for more overtime'. How keen is that?

Speaking of you, this whole weblog journal has been an interesting and very rewarding exercise. You seem to be a number that's grown beyond just our two mums. With no advertising! How's that for smart marketing (gmail eat your heart out).

It's definitely been an experience, and there's so many more words we could write, and so many photos to add to the squareapple collection - but for now it's time to hit reality and focus.

One more night in Bombay and then a flight to the UK. This is it. I'm sure there's some pointers on travel and final comments we'll get round to, but then it's time to shut this shop down. I'm sure volume 2 'The London Experience' will hit the stands sometimes this year - but don't hold your breath.

We've got some Work to do.
