After a lot of difficulties at the port trying to find a Customs official, apparently there are only 3 in the Devon & Cornwall area! Eventually 2 came to our assistance, unfortunately they were useless as they'd never seen similar paperwork before, but after just over an hour our forms for the bikes were stamped and we were on our way!
We are now all back home safely and the whole adventure was a great success. Not all went smoothly, what with the difficulties at Rosso, police fines and the heat getting to my bike at one point, but it's all those things combined together that make the experience
We went prepared for anything but in the end apart from sleeping outside one night at the port we never camped once
The total milage was 6563 miles in 24 days including all rest days. Its hard to put into words what the experience was like so I'll do you all a favour and not even try, but it has been amazing, we have seen so much that we will never forget
It really was the trip of a lifetime, but hopefully not my last big bike adventure
I definitely could do with a break from riding, the thought of riding up to the British Moto GP in a few weeks is far from my mind..... I think for the first time ever, I might go to Donnington in a car!
Thankyou for reading and all comments along the way were much appreciated (more photos to follow)

Just like you've never been away! Will leave you to rest tonight and call you later tomorrow. Make sure the bikes are nice and clean. Geoff
