We are now back on our steamer after such a wonderful time in Vietnam - the food, the people, the scenery. A perfect place to people watch! We are now on our way to Borneo. Tomorrow we will be hanging out with the orangutans!
Tonight on the dancefloor and back by popular demand is Jon Bon Jovi. More ice cold Prosecco served on the verandah for when you need cooling off!
Yesterday we didn't do as well as we had predicted and we have yet to reach our target of 501kms. This is to do with the number of travellers not the number of kms. Last week we had 10 more travellers. Lets hope they rejoin the challenge very soon. And if you know of any one that should join the challenge - please point them in my direction.
Today I stepped up to the challenge. I am motivated by all of you and your achievements whilst dealing with what life throws at you. Rather than putting off doing my chores until the weekend, I walked from Whitehall to Chancery Lane to go to the bank. It wasn't raining that much when I started and I was wearing the wrong shoes. It was bucketing on the way back to the office and my wrong shoes were getting wet Then when I left the office to go home, I had to walk to Hyde Park to get the first bus. An extra 30 mins. In all, my kms for today were 10.16kms. So pleased with that number
How is everyone else doing?
Happy Travels everyone

Wow Lizzie; brilliant number considering the weather.
The thunder and lightning played havoc with the dogs nerves this morning but still managed 8.3km (wed) even with squelching trainers as I forgot my wellies and the park was like waking through a river.
We both had a nice warm bath when got home and clocked up more steps by having the ironing pile to do at one end of the room and the ironed stuff at the other; soon adds up when u get one piece at a time and have 3 weeks worth lol 😆
Hi. 6.4k for today. Shop stomping again tomorrow. Must admit I'm cheating a bit by buying 4 pints of milk instead of the usual 6! If I carry 6 pints each time I may end up with arms like an orangutan!
9.95km, if wind resistance added anything to the distance it would be double!! At points it was a battle to make any headway at all, would not have carried on if not doing the challenge!!
My kms for Weds 27th Jan 4.6km, I have set myself a challenge to do more km today on the cross-trainer later. I'll report my km for Thursday later this evening.
10000 steps or 7.05k for yesterday. I suspect the FitBit may have jammed on 10000 steps as I felt it vibrate and still carried on walking afterwards but I'll just go with the figure.
Is it okay to just join in?? I've only started this week and been walking Monday Wednesday and today, planning to keep to those three days of the week.
I am usually a stationary sort of person who does no exercise, I have around 6stone to lose!! So I've been driving to the cycle track and the walking for 1hr, I timed 30minites then turned back. Turns out it's a decent distance and so I'm going to stick to that and throw in some light jogging at intervals, like me own couch to 5K because I find the app too intense at the moment.
Anyway according to my Fitbit on Wednesday I walked 5.8km and 7452steps in 54 minutes and the total across the day was 10070, which shows that outside of planned walks I move very little (desk based job)!!
Glad to have found this thread as hoping it will help motivate me to keep going!
