Last evening, the group had a meeting over cocktail (special Odyssey brew) before we went out for dinner. After the meeting, most of the group went to Raffles Hotel's Long Bar for drinks (to celebrate the end or to drown the sorrow, I don't know which) before going across the road to Chijmes for dinner.
Everyone got a little bonus (USD115 each) from distribution of the remaining kitty money. We spent something like USD53,000 over the past six months for accommodation, food and optional activities. Other interesting statistics: we travelled 28,200km in the six months; out of 22 participants started from London on 12th April 2009, 14 arrived in Singapore as a group; only two (Monica and David) would make it to Darwin and the most expensive hotel was in Baku, Azerbaijan (USD65/head, plus other charges in US$'s).
Last night, Le and I said good-bye to the group as we were starting to disperse soon. The expedition basically concluded today (9th Oct 2009). Richard actually flew out last evening
and Monica and David were flying out tonight.
Le and I left Singapore this morning to venture off in our own way. A group was heading for Borneo in about three days. The rest were finding their way home or continue their travel elsewhere.
It was difficult to say good-bye after six months travelling together. Here are some photos taken at our last group meeting.
