Over 2,000km into their attempt to cycle around the world, Mark and Ellie bid a fond farewell to Germany, experience a travesty on the crisps front, and extend a fine how-do-you-do to the cakes of Vienna. They also share a story that never made it into their newsletter.

Week 5: As plain as the nose on your face

Mark and Ellie are cycling around the world. Join their adventure as they share weekly diary updates from the road. Bears, typhoons, camels drinking each other's wee, and lots of crisps; this podcast is much more than a cycling diary. The ups are hilly, the lows are swampy, but for every puncture there's a patch.
