a2b – Crotos, “This trip of ours is over!!!”

Vasilios Mesitides and Danae Tezapsidis [and hopefully the rest of the team] arrived in Being in time for the opening of the Olympic Games. That much I know from a comment entered on their blog by someone signing himself as Steven who met them on the 8.8.8. I was hoping there would be a final chapter and a few more photos to fill in the space between Luoyang and Beijing but it seems that may not happen as they have now arrived and are busy cycling around to see the sights, and who can blame them. However they have entered a comment, entitled ‘This trip of ours is over!!!’, on the blog which brings everything to close.

Dear Friends,

After 170 days of cycling we have finally reached Beijing… We are full of beautiful memories and have shared lots of experiences with people we have met on our way despite occasional hardships we have already forgotten.

We will continue to ride around Beijing and get in touch with more people during our last few days in China. We didn’t come here to see the Olympic Games even though we believe in the Olympic ideals and have tried to promote peace and cross-cultural communication all around as much as we could.

We wish to thank everyone who accompanied us on our wonderful voyage and hope to meet again in person somewhere in this tiny world!

Cycling is our way of approaching the world around us, and we are not planning on giving it up.
So, you may find us riding around somewhere in the near future (but after we take care of some unfinished things)…

Peace!
