European Adventure 2017
All good things come to an end and this is the end for this most wonderful trip. It is raining today and is supposed to do the same for tomorrow as we head to the airport - I guess better that way than full sun and hot weather calling us to stay! We are hoping to catch up with Ryan tonight to say goodbye to him but while we wait we have been doing a bit of a tally of some of the things which may be of interest. Kms travelled. 11909km Average kms per day in van. 145km over 82 days Fuel costs. NZ$4583.00 (29 fuel ups) Countries visited. 5 Motorhome accommodation. $1427.00 Average daily accomm cost. $17.40 Views on the blog this month. 550 Views over all. 2396 Increased kilos around the waist. Not saying! Number of scones consumed. Heaps Number of wet days. Less than a handful Wing mirrors lost. 3 contacts - no fatalities Memories, experiences. PRICELESS Would do again?? DEFINITELY Thanks so much to all friends and family in the UK who have made this trip a trip of a lifetime which we will never forget and those at home ....we are looking forward to seeing you all again - especially the grandies. see you soon!

Jane I'm so sorry to see you go...... What am I to look forward to reading now. I have really enjoyed your blog, it's been lovely to see places through your eyes. So glad you have had such a good time, hope to see you again soon. Have a safe journey back, I'm sure leaving will be bitter sweet, but celebrations will be the order of the day when you get back. Thanks for sharing your holiday with us. God bless, love jane xx
Dave A. Wow, such a fantastic trip. Sad to leave Ryan again too but great that you've been able to catch up with so many others. See you back down under soon. Love D.
Zs safe travelling home. See you soon
Jo Kidd So glad you enjoyed reading it Jane as I certainly enjoyed writing it. We will flick over the pages and bring back many happy memories for years to come. See you next time. X
John & Jane It was fantastic to see you both again - great company! Perhaps a reciprocal visiting arrangement on alternate years? We'll be sad to see you leave. I would have loved to come to see you safely on your way, but the practicalities make it impossible. Jo; could you please text me your flight No and departure time (BST) and I'll see if I can see your departure on FlightRadar24. Have a safe and comfortable return journey, and convey our best wishes to the Kiwis - especially aunty Mary! Until the next time... xx
Bex This blog entry seemed to cause a sudden sandstorm of grit to fly into my eyes... It's been fantastic having you both over here and to be able to meet up with you so frequently. We'll definitely be seeing you again before too long :) Safe journey home where I am sure you have been greatly missed. Xx
Rose & Bill good to have you back in the real world WHITEBAITING it will be hard to settle back into a normal life structure again. thanks for the blog I think you should write a travel book as we found the stories most informative.
