Dave awesome post!
Libby and Mike I know you are already on your way home but just wanted to say safe journey! The blog has really kept us captivated the whole time and the only I thing that can be better will be seeing you and hearing about it in person! I am on my way home from Zurich this evening and also looking forward to getting back to England though my travels seem minute in comparison to yours! Looking forward to the final update and arranging a catch up to hear all about it properly. All our love xxxxx

Libby and Mike Hello! Sorry it's been so long since I've been in touch - I am also currently on my travels, but not for leisure - I'm on a summer school all about climate change and am currently in London. I left Birmingham on 4th July and was in Paris for a fortnight (where it was very warm!) and I've been in London for a fortnight and will head to Zurich on Saturday for another fortnight. So I'll finally be back in England on 13th August which I think is a day before you arrive back if I remember rightly?! Sounds like you are still having a fabulous time and getting to see so much! We are so looking forward to hearing all about it when you return, we definitely have to try and sort out a day to come down to London and visit you so we can see all the pictures and hear about it properly. Mike is still working hard but luckiily he was able to get to Paris and London for a weekend in each so it was great to see him and do lots of sightseeing! Well I'd better head off as it will soon be dinner time here and I have to go and do washing before I eat (the joys of being in student accommodation and having to use a laundry!). Will keep up with all the next installments in Zurich All our love, Libby and Mike xxxxx
