    Defender (LizzbyBus) journey around the world ends (David/Jane from UK)

    We had David and Jane stay with us for a while when they were travelling in Australia, and I see they have just finished driving around the world!

    Quite a good news article on Canadian (?) TV. The reporter asked what they had learned, and David said "I've learned to become a Land Rover mechanic" which I thought was quite funny

    Here's the news clip:

    (Can't work out how to embed the clip - you'll have to click on the link....)

    It's a small world, we met them about 3 days into their adventure at a French campsite. David was crawling around under their Defender covered in transferbox oil, after the rear seal failed

    After 5 years on the road I can see a few changes in their Defender. Photo was taken at said campsite.



    Their blog is here www.lizzybus.com

    Kelvo - can you tell me how you got the YouTube video to embed? I tried all sorts of things, but only ended up with a link.

    I was impressed by how little they carried with them. I think Jane only had 2 changes of clothes! My missus takes more than that for a weekend in Melbourne in a 5 star hotel

    Cheers

    Paste the link, then remove the "s" from the https leaving it as http://xxx....

    If you can still edit your post above, you should be able to still have it embed.

    It seems there is more than one way. I used the 'Inset link' button and pasted the full youtube link in there, but Judo's way is quicker
