Had a wonderful time meeting up with friends and relatives and seeing some wonderfully exotic places as well as travelling on our own to others. We fed elephants at an elephant orphanage and braved the chaos of road traffic in Sri Lanka, climbed mountains (both by foot and vehicle) in Austria and Switzerland, walked part of Hadrian's Wall in England, were given mind-boggling history lessons re the Highland clearances in Scotland, went to the most northern and southern parts of England and Scotland as well as seeing east and west coasts, took photos of fantastic modern buildings in Paris for our architecture student son, stayed in the Alpine village in Switzerland from where my g.g.father left on his journey to Australia, travelled across the Alps on the Glacier Express to see the Matterhorn, discovered that Pisa is more than just a leaning tower, found other leaning towers in Bologna, did a 10 day Nordic Walking tour in Austria, toured countless churches in Italy and everywhere else, walked past shop windows in Amsterdam where wo/men(?) were showing their 'wares', took a ferry across the North Sea and thousands of photos of all this and more (except for those shop windows vbg) A veritable lifetime of memories but now we're planning a trip to NZ at the end of the year for DBIL's 60th birthday!! (Bee, take note! - will be in touch soon).
