People are amazing. If you have some time, and I recommend that you find some time for this, read about the first circumnavigation of the globe under only human powered means.

This was done with legs, hands and heart. A brief synopsis of his journey.

• Lewis crossed the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in a wooden pedal boat.
• He roller bladed across North America. Struck by a driver in Pueblo, Colorado, he spent nine months recovering from two broken legs, returning to the trek in May 1996.
• He kayaked from Australia to Singapore.
• He biked from Singapore to the Himalayas.
• He hiked through the Himalayas.
• He pedaloed from Mumbai, India crossing the Indian Ocean to Djibouti.
• He then planned to travel through Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, the Middle East before reaching Europe[2] — however, he encountered a problem in Sudan. The Egyptian authorities would not let him pass through their waters, and when his visa for Sudan ran out he was left with an “impossible decision”.[3] He attempted to kayak across Lake Nasser to Abu Simbel but was arrested on suspicion of spying. He was released but the Egyptian authorities forbade him from mountain-biking the 178 mile journey to Aswan.

In July 2007, he reached Syria and then crossed Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Austria, Germany, and Belgium before returning to London on 6 October 2007
