Its great to know your back home safely and I am sure life will provide you with another rediculous challange in due course. Use your time back with family and friends wisely.

But i doubt that they realised how hard they would have to try before they finally found something to stop your progress. And when you make your next attempt, i should think they'll shrug and go and find someone smaller, someone their own size, to pick on. Well done, i'm proud to know you. I hope to see you in London before too long. Love and abrazos, Tim x Christina – When the gods have it in mind to thwart you, it is only a matter of time before they find something wicked, unimaginably twisted and ultimately insurmountable to place in your way.

This process has become huge Christina - look at all the people sending you comments. Imagine all the awareness you have created. Well done!

I followed you almost daily and marvelled at your determination and resilience. You are such a powerful, beautiful woman. I am so in awe of the sheer guts and brawn of it. Alone on ice with nothing but Polar bear tracks and cracking ice. You have reached your goal, just shift the goalposts a bit because I think you have stayed the distance and we grant you permission to 'chill' a bit, eat a bit, sleep a bit! hi Darling girl! we just returned from 2 and a half weeks away in New York and Paris and having only access to my Blackberry, I could not follow your last weeks on ice.

Were you concerned that so much more ice had melted into rivers than you'd expected. There was a good article on this the other day by Julitte Jowit in the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/apr/07/arctic-sea-ice-recovers-slightly. Hope you settle back in cosily and swiftly. Amazing challenge. Well done. By the way did you wear those white tights of yours..no, I don't need to know that ;-) Hi Christina,
