Their blog states:
At 10.15 this morning the Journey of Hope reached its destination at Land's End, the southern-most extremity of the South Island.
Xaver and Oliver have cycled more than 3300 kilometres to raise awareness about polio and to raise funds for Rotary's global PolioPlus campaign.Both say the achievement creates a mixture of feelings - elation at having finished but also a sense of loss now that the daily focus has been removed.Invercargill Mayor, Tim Shadbolt, was on hand at Bluff to mark the completion of the journey.
Xaver and Oliver have a few days of activity planned in the South Island before they both head off to resume their 'normal' lives.
