Day Nine - The End 5月7日

金曜日の夕方も楽しかった、日田町の居酒屋一幸の家族と客様ありがとう!!!
今度の週末まで募金が集まります。十万円以上集まりたい‼
今まで九州一周ママチャリチャレンジが終わりました、皆様は本当に、本当にありがとうございました‼
最後の日は日田市から佐賀市まで、全てには810km以上出来ました‼
Thanks to everybody for all of their donations and much-needed support along the way.
It has been a long, arduous trip over countless mountains and hills, across many rivers, through long valleys and past several watering holes.
We met many fantastic people on our travails, and were lucky enough to have so many wonderful people and pets waiting for us back here in Saga! I will go into more depth on our thanks in another blog tomorrow.
In the meantime, our donation boxes will continue to be on display until next weekend and James is still able to receive donations on his paypal account. We are hoping to smash through the 100000yen barrier that we set ourselves at the beginning of this process.
The final day itself was rather easy after we got the last mountain out of the way. Leaving Oita behind we soon re-entered Fukuoka Prefecture and the lovely city of Ukiha. From then on it was flat and smooth until Kurume City. After stopping off for a bite we made swift progress back into Saga Prefecture and from then on into Saga City itself. Thanks to "Manager" Moxon and "Beerboy" Anderson for meeting us at the station and listening to us waffle on about our troubles while the adrenalin was still pumping!
We all had a great night last night, thank you to Nanbu Yakitori for all the sushi and fine booze.
Hopefully the final tally and tale will be printed in a future edition of the Saga City newspaper. Please continue to check this blog for further info on the money raised etcetc
I will be uploading photos from our crazy journey as soon as my crappy laptop stops pissing me about. Final stats will also be published soon, but we managed about 810kms or so overall and are very tired.
Thank you everyone, we love you. Thank you Kyushu for showing us mercy, you mountainous, windy bitch from Hell.
Gareth and James
