They say the world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. Problem is that the world is quite a page-turner, and once you get started it's hard to put it down.
Sowhatsitallaboutthen is a chronicle of my ongoing addiction to travel.
Currently...
Getting ready for my next big trip - a cycle tour across Japan, top to bottom. The plan is to set off in August from the northern tip of Japan and just keep on pedaling south.

Monday, November 27, 2006** Back in Kochi **
Finally settling back down again in Kochi again after more than three months on the road. The big news is that thanks to a lot of really generous people, I've reached my goal of raising 1000 pounds for Lepra - check it out! Actually a little over (still open to donations too, so it's not too late to add a bit more).
My daily blogs are over now, but I've still got a little synopsis, a bunch of thank-you's, a thin red line on a map, and a whole load of photos that I'm going to put up on the site in the next week or so, so don't delete me from your favourites list just yet.
Cheers!
Andrew
