We're done! - Blogabond

That's it, finished! We hit San Diego last night and stayed in our tent on a bit of concrete ambitiously advertised as a campsite by its owners just south of the city. Then this morning, after getting exactly no sleep for the second night in a row (its about a hundred degrees here, which doesn't translate well to camping), we did the final 10 Miles down to the border.

About 2900km (a bit over 1800 Miles) covered in total - not a bad effort, we hope you'll agree. We finished up the ride celebrating with a warm can of Bud at 11am whilst taking photos of ourselves in the middle of a road under a big sign saying Mexico - expect we'll get those up on here soon.

Now its 5 days of not cycling and not camping in San Diego, starting with 4th July fireworks tonight. With any luck by the time we get back to England next week we'll both be able to sit down without wincing in pain.

It's been amazing - thanks to everyone who has emailed or commented on the blog - sorry its not been updated more often and that we lost the first one (which, irritatingly, re-appeared a couple of days ago). See you all in a few days...
