Can't think of words to finish this all off. Thought we’d turn to the wise words of 2 of our favourite authors on this trip for the final words. Think they sum it all up better than we ever could:

From ’Two Lives’, a fantastic book by Vikram Seth…

Behind every door on every ordinary street, in every hut in every ordinary village,
On this middling planet of a trivial star,
Such riches are to be found.
The strange journeys we undertake on our earthly pilgrimage,
The joy or pain we taste or confer,
The chance events that cleave us together, or apart,
What a complex trace they leave:
So personal as to be almost incommunicable,
So fugitive as to be almost irrecoverable.
Yet seeing through a glass, however darkly,
Is to be less blind.
