It is with mixed feelings that I sign off the blog.
It has been a truly amazing experience to be away from work for 100 days. I feel very privilidged to have been given this time off. Thanks Auckland Grammar School, it is appreciated.
We have hopefully made the most of it, if not too bad it is too late now.
I hope the boys remeber it for the rest of their lives but realise that much will be jogged as a memory from the blog.
The highlights are many almost too many to list.
Personally I loved Paris more than Rome but the italian food was a highlight it must be said. The fryingpan full of seafood rissotto and the Gnocci was amazing.
Croatia was an amazing unspoilt, laid back place that we loved the most probably. Bol on the island of Brac was amazing. The degustation meal we had in Korcula was amazing along with the SANDY beach. (where was it).
Finland was amazing, just beautiful, espeically the archipeligo. I will go back but in the winter to get the contrast.
Wales was fantastic as I got to meet up with Friends and Family which beats places in my opinion anyday (though places are good too).
Thanks to everyone who fed us, let us stay at their homes and showed us great hospitality without you I would be forced to sell a kidney on the Russian black market. Eilian.
We have had a fabulous, once in a lifetime trip that has been made so much richer because of all the time spent with such wonderful people and the great times that we had with you all. We are now back to reality and yet appreciate even more the richness of life and making the most of everyday. You are all welcome to visit us in our little paridise on the other side of the world!
Take care, have fun and we hope to see you all sooner rather than later!
Anna
PS - thanks to Eilian for all the organisation, running around, booking, speaking other languages and doing the blog most days! Your rock.
