What followed was a ruthless clean-out, a long walk across London carrying donation bags, and the realisation that after more than 200 days on the road, we're finally getting better at travelling lighter.

A comfortable bed, French toast for breakfast, a ruthless gear cull, a father-son pub stop, and a magical night at Matilda the Musical. Day 201 was a reminder that long-term travel often involves balancing practical decisions with unforgettable experiences.

A rainy day in London didn’t stop us from exploring Buckingham Palace, watching the King’s Guard, visiting the famous Hamleys toy store, enjoying traditional British pies and mash, and soaking up more of one of the world’s great cities before our next adventure begins in Mexico.
