We passed the 6000 km mark in the tiny village of Glumac, Serbia (however in Sarajevo, Bosnia our bike computers mysteriously added about 50 or 60 kilometres after a short pedal around town, so we’ve let go of accuracy a little for this post). We found a free camp spot down the road and behind train tracks shortly after this photo, asking permission from an old woman carrying water from the river to her garden at the end of a hot afternoon.

Make sure you turn off ‘smell-o-vision’ and put away your ‘real-life-touch’ pads if you’re viewing this from the future. This photo documents 3000 kilometres in the saddle, taken on 21st May in Val de Chavagne, France just before the second downpour of the afternoon. – Posted by Emma

Here is the first milestone photo, taken 10th April 2010 along the coast heading towards a campsite just outside San Sebastian, Spain. – Posted by Emma

Here is the second in our 1000km milestone photos. This one was taken on 28th April 2010 as we cycled between Taulis and St Marsal in France.

After speeding across the flat argenes alongside the Po river we have made it to 4000 kilometres very quickly. This photo was taken on 03 June as we headed East towards Sassoleone through the Appennino hills, climbing just outside Bisano. Unlike the previous 1000km mark on this occasion we weren’t stinky.

We’ve been going a bit slower lately because of the “so hot it cooks your banana in your panniers” summer heat, so this 1000 kilometres sort of crept up on us. After a breakfast of fresh melon, muesli and yoghurt in Novalja (a town on the island of Pag in Croatia), the bicycle computer clicked over to 5000 kilometres as we were taking one last look at the waterfront after early morning espressos. – Posted by Emma

Well done team … enjoying your updates … hope that the Kiwi is enjoying the trip … lets hope the summer temperatures start to drop off a bit … safe travels, Bruce and Judy
Hi guys, another big milestone , how many more miles do you expect to ride? It sounds like you’ve really settled into your adventure. Lily has just rolled over for the first time, isn’t she clever! lots of love
Bruce and Judy – we’ve pulled the kiwi out to educate children a few times already but are fearful of it getting too much road dust, so its not permenantly glued on. Will send photos of panniers with the stickers though, they look awesome!
Andrea – we think we’ve got another 1000 or so to Istanbul where we’ll stop to repair many broken electronic things (!) before heading on in 2011. If Lily is doing rolly-polys (ie head over feet) we’re very impressed indeed
