Hi all... Here it is -our FINAL blog!
Last time we wrote we had just arrived in London -which ended up being great! We only had 4 days there and they were all jam packed!
We did buckingham palace (and happenned to arrive just as they did their changing of the guards drama -which was just slightly over done), then trafalgar square (where t…
After 16 months in a casual relationship with the typical pro's and con's that a casual position entails (e.g. high pay, uncertain hours and no holidays), Greg and Ann have decided to step it up a notch and take the challenge of a 2 month trial: permanent part-time... in Europe!
Can they work as a team as they traverse 11 cheese producing nations, 6 time zones and 10 languages? Will Ann be more able to decide what to eat when the menu is in another language? Will Greg leave his Pa…

Hi Ann and Greg, Just came on here to wish you a happy birthday Greg. Hope you had a really nice day and that you felt spoilt! Hope that you are still enjoying your trip. You probably have mixed feelings - excited to be coming home but also a bit sad that it is ending. But you will always have the memories. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Time has flown..you will probably think that I am huge now! Love Liz

Hi Ann & Greg
Am back at work but have a little time so though I would say hello.
Mum was up practically watching your flight arrive in Wales last night. I had updates like " They are due to arrive in 20 Minutes". then excitedly " They have touched down". This was after having a look at the B&B cottage and surrounds (the one before Dublin), and then Mum even found Joan and Colins house on Google Earth. I do not know what mum is going to do for entertainment when you are back!!
Have shown your photos to some at work today and they all want to trade places with you.
Keep safe, well and happy.
Love Dad

Hi Ann & Greg,
Great photos again. Ann I'm proud of you - lost and not worried - now you're in the holiday spirit. I have noticed a certain trend with the photos Ann has the biggest smiles in the markets and almost ALL the photos of Greg involve food or drink. Glad you had a good New Year celebration. Have fun in Sweden. Missing you heaps.
Love from Mum

I wonder if the pics of fireworks I saw in Copenhagen were right near where you were. It was funny seeing the Abba photo - but was it fun? All your photos are awesome, I am very impressed that you take the time to blog and put photos on this site. Good job :) You look as though you are having a blast. Keep having fun and looking forward to some more tales of Ann and Greg.

Happy New Year 2008! Had a look at some photos of fireworks in Copenhagen, looked nice. Have you seen Princess Mary or the Royal Fam? Lots of love Liz

Hi
We are currently in the south of this beautiful land. It is 41 in Adelaide today and we have a fantastic ( for you very hot ) 29. Trish had a great little wine and cheese do last night and was still cleaning up from it when we rang her at 11:30.
We are having a great time here hope you ar both still well and have a great New Year. We will think of you as we overlook the waters of Encounter Bay and the midnight fireworks from Victor
Love Mum and Dad

Hi Ann & Greg,
You certainly seem to have had fun on Mt Pilates I can almost hear Ann's screams from here! What is it with camera batteries - they always pack up when there's good stuff to take and your miles from the hotel - I was looking forward to an action shot of Ann in the taboggan!
Hope you get to Copenhagen easier than Lucerne. Missing you both Heaps! Love Mum

Hope you are enjoying yourselves now in Heidelberg. Here there is a heat wave - 38 degrees today and next week still looks like it is going to be hot. I want your cold weather! Get this, New Year's Eve is going to be max 43 they are forecasting......not good.For New Years we are going to my parents for pancakes and croquettes (little balls of meat pretty much) - Dutch tradition. Should be fun. I have to work the next day but we should be pretty quiet. Well, look forward to hearing from you soon. Love reading about what you are doing and can't wait for more pics. Keep on having fun :) Lots of hugs and lots of love to you both. Missing you heaps and heaps, particularly noticing it on Christmas Day but it was special to talk to you.

Hey you two travellers!I have been reading all your posts and am now thoroughly jealous of all your travels in exotic lands. As such I have decided to post a list of all the things you missed out on here just to return the favour!What you missed out on this Christmas1.A box of refrigerated Jatz Biscuits2.Auntie Pauline's scrumptious cheesy thingos (someone should really give them a name one of these days)3.A Christmas Eve rendition John Lennon's of 'War is Over' by the Antioch Music Mob4.A complete retelling of the 'Christmas on the Green' performance with visual aids5.An over indulgence of Ham and Turkey6.A good number of alcoholic beverages7.A Boxing Day Hangover8...I would continue, but I can tell you are already fuming and ruling the day you ever miss another family Christmas. Lucky b******s. See you soon! :P

Hi Ann and Greg,
Hope you had a great Christmas- lunch on top of a Mountain sounds lovely!
I am finally relaxing after Christmas - was far too busy shopping and cooking for Christmas lunch for just 6 people!
Hope you're having lots of fun (don't stress - getting lost can be fun!) and eating lots of yummy things. I will want to see the food diary when you get back!
Love Anisha.
