Farewell Odyssey
Thursday, October 14, 2010
The group split in half after the first night in Melaka, 7 went off to Borneo while the rest of us stayed another night before heading to Singapore. It’s been a week of goodbyes including a night at a jazz club in Melaka where Ben was serenaded by the singer… and Simon -"Hey Big Spanda (Spender)"! Almost didn't make it to Singapore when Pete got caught carrying a huge knife through customs, but as usual he managed to blag his way into the country and we celebrated our final night with the "Magnificent 7" in Raffles with a Singapore Sling (no I don't want to mention the cost!) and everyone went their separate ways: Pete is off to South Africa to start his next Odyssey, Dennis is schmoozing with the high rollers in the new Marina Bay Sands Casino before heading home, Heather is staying in Singapore for a few days before heading to Borneo and Indonesia, we're doing the same minus Indonesia while Nick and Joy head for Darwin and - the official end point of the trip.
Here are just a few of our highlights:

We’ve had a blast these past 6 months and want to thank everyone for a great trip and wish them all the best! We’re heading off on our own adventures from here and will be continuing the blog so keep up with us!

A few tips for future Odysseyers:
Bring a Netbook – Wifi is available all over.
Buy a decent sleeping bag and mat, the ones we got worked perfectly (see earlier post)
Don’t bring a shee wee – No one used them this year, waste of money just pee in a bush!
Enjoy – 6 months just flies by!
