That’s roughly three times around the Earth, or a third of the way to the moon.

Number of Night Buses: 12

Number of Night Trains: 5

Malaysia to Singapore, and Tangier to Marrakech in Morocco. They were rather comfortable and a much nicer way to travel than the night bus (you get a bit more sleep, and it’s a lot more comfortable).

Number of times Takeshi was asked if he wanted illegal drugs in Morocco: 10

This was actually rather amusing – we’re not exactly sure why he was such a popular target to ask though. Portugal was definitely the hot spot in terms of total number of times; however, honourable mentions also go to Portugal (9) and Nepal.

I’ll admit, I had a bit of a problem with taking photos. I thought I’d slow down more after a while, and yes that did happen a bit, but I still took a lot more photos than I anticipated. Would have been better if I had kept up to date with sorting and editing photos while we were on the road a bit better too…
