The battle is lost, but not the war.

Hi guys,

It's been a gruelling time and after the orthopedic advising rest for 3 weeks, I don't think it is worth going on in this fashion. Even if I decided to go on, it would not be the same kind of travel experience, so I have decided to come back to Australia. This will not be the end of my travels as I am sure I will have many more in the years to come, but I have taken my first step, which could be said to be the hardest.

Thanks to all the people who read and enjoyed the blog! I feel I have let you down, but this is the best course of action at this point for me :/

Regards,
Steve
