Yes
Hear! We did it! We have crossed the completely virtual 0 meridian. Without any significant damage or loss of common sense.
Although. It was a virtual great moment. We saw the real GPS receiver slowly walking back in the East to virtual moment zero. This moment lasted a very short time - a beat - and then the meter started to rise again. West. What a virtual experience. Crossing all those meridians during our journey, we didn't cry out once. And we also celebrated this one really quietly. The 0 meridian. Green wich. The cradle of timekeeping. My goodness that I get to experience it (again). The past 8,000 miles have not been in vain. It was a long way but we really got there.
On the menu today:
Mixed pasta with a sauce of onions, peppers and a pot of chicken, champion cream sauce from Australia. (With 70% Australian products in it! Yes! Yes!
With added half a chorizo sausage. (How do you actually pronounce that? Chorizo).
No soup beforehand (shame). No dessert. (It's a pity).
Spotted wildlife, less than 4%.
PS on the way back we will virtually cross the 0 meridian again. Real!
Greetings Mark and Ton
