In Need of a Makeover

We walked past a giant mirror today and got a real good look at ourselves. Yikes! While we aren’t feeling at all tired of travelling, we’re looking pretty ragged; 8 months of cycling, camping etc have definitely taken its toll:

  • Our clothes are faded, tattered, stained and shabby.

  • We have the oddest tans imaginable (think bike shorts, socks, cycling jerseys, cycling gloves and sunglasses).
  • We are covered in mosquito bites and/or heat rashes (or at least what we are telling ourselves are heat rashes 8O ).

  • Our skin is dry and flakey.

  • Spiros needs a haircut. (I won’t even bother going into the situation with my hair).

  • We’re carrying raggedy, stained backpacks with forks and spoons sticking out of the pockets.

  • We can usually be found sitting on steps or some park bench eating our 18th pastry of the day or a bowl of cereal. (For some reason, eating cereal in public seems to raise quite a few eyebrows).

We’re definitely looking a lot like a “before picture”. Spiros has decided he wants a new “Young and fresh” look. :D In other words, we’re in desperate need of a makeover…or at the very least a really, really good scrub-down…with a fire-hose or something along those lines.
