I'm back from recent usual travels to and from Frankfurt/Bonn and Cornwall - not quite as exotic as yours (I have been checking the blogs and your amazing schedule) .. but thought of you as I finally made it to Rome proper for a long weekend .. and loved it, my german is improving!! Work finally settled down for the moment (20% redundancies) but have survived.. so pressing on until told otherwise! Looking forward to your return.. S

Annabel & Martin Hey guys I've finally been able to access your blog - couldn't get onto it at work! We've just spent about an hour looking through everything - looks like you have been having a fantastic time - love your blog Annelise when Nige was feeling too crap to do it!!!! Nige - what an amazing job you've done - great to see where you guys have been. Martin and I both wish we were there - looks like loads of good eating!! So impressed with all you have been doing, particularly the kayak and the glacier Annelise!! Sooooo looking forward to seeing you when you get back - its been really quiet here and I reckon my alcohol consumption has halfed without you here!! All is fine with us - look forward to seeing you on 8th May Annelise xxxxxx
