That's it, it's the last week ... Monday, October 5, we leave the Paris region. But who is this new roommate for the last week? It’s Régis, Thomas’s childhood friend! It's great to be with a boyfriend, it's a bit of a party and it keeps us from thinking too much about the end that is approaching.

Our return to France gives us a first return shock. After a year in a bubble where we only catch snippets of what is being said, finding your mother tongue everywhere around you is a bit harsh ...

That's it, THIS IS THE END. For real, we are going to go home, to settle into a normal life. Before that, we're going to party! We will cross the finish line on October 10, 2015.

We spent 12 days in Istanbul. Basically, we were planning to spend just a week there, but we were faster than we had calculated. Finally, we are very happy with this good break. It allowed us to make a good point and rest... before starting season 2 of our adventure: Asia!

Le suspens est à son comble, vous devez vous demander où nous en sommes, si nous sommes encore entiers. Mais commençons par le début ! Dimanche matin, le grand départ ! Après une dernière bonne douche chaude, nous nous préparons, nous et nos fidèles destriers. Verdic : 40,7kg pour mon vélo et 45,0kg pour son vélo (on s’attendais à pire 🙂 ). Départ de la maison rue Montplaisir vers 9h45 comme prévu. L’équipe du départ est là : Christian et Nicole (les parents de Thomas), Émilie (la soeur),…
