Singapore

#34 - 12.02.2010, Singapore:

It is not a particularly impressive or large bridge, but crossing the Causeway connecting Malaysia and Singapore is nevertheless a very special moment for us. 397 days, 24.018,36 kilometres and 137.388 metres of altitude after leaving our home in the middle of the cold winter last year we have reached our final destination Singapore. It is a strange feeling to have aimed for this destination for more than a year without ever using another means of transport than the bicycle, but now it is clear: from here there is no going further south without the help of fins or wings. We receive a warm welcome from Amy and Mike who are so kind as to take us in on this last stop of our journey while offering a wonderful introduction into life in Singapore. In closing more than a year’s worth of travel experience we encourage everyone who carries a dream similar to ours within to live it - it is the first step that is the hardest, the rest is easy!
