Last night was rather bittersweet for me. While watching the final installment of Long Way Down, I found myself both incredibly pleased, dare I say joyous, when Charley and Ewan finally made it to Capetown and just a little bit sad that the journey was now over. (And my hopes of to seeing Ewan's bare ass on television again were now completely squashed.) This episode was by far the best yet. There was a romantical Man Love montage of some of Ewan and Charley's most tender moments, a surprise visit from Ewan's mom, and tearful goodbyes from between Ewan and his wife after Eve joined the boys for 7 days on the road. (And yes, Charley did get jealous. Very jealous.)

I have to say, I was incredibly impressed with Eve McGregor's confidence on her bike, and determination to not slow down Charley and Ewan. I half expected her just to be this wimpy little thing that was only a long for the ride so she could monitor what her husband was doing and to be a general pain in the ass. However, she couldn't have been anymore the opposite. Petite, wise and lovely, Eve was gracious and kind with all the people she met, and you could tell that the Road Team genuinely loved her, and were glad to have her on board.

While both Charley and I were incredibly jealous of Ewan and Eve's connection and obvious for eachother, you can't help be be touched when you hear that the reason she wanted to come along was that so she could just have a "taste" of what Ewan was going through. Girlfriend even learned how to ride a motorcycle. There's a short montage of Eve falling over time and time again whilst they plowed through the sand, and each time she just popped up like a trooper, unlike me, who would have cursed and cried and given up.

I think the best part of this episode (if not the entire series) was that Charley and Ewan finally seemed to be in tune with Africa and with the trip. They were no longer fighting the time constraints or the mileage, and were just embracing where they were and what they were doing.

When the Road Team finally made it to Cape Town they were joined by hundreds of other South African motorcyclists who caravaned down to their final stopping point with them. There were Man Hugs and it was just all around an excellent moment filled with accomplishment and relief. I certainly hope the boys do another trip. Maybe Long Way Up? Long Way Diagonally? Long Way Pentagonal? Ah, whatever the call it and wherever they go, I'm sure it will be brilliant.

Well done, Long Way Down. Until next time...
