Since we left you we have returned Black Betty and started getting Kim sorted in London. We've been flat hunting, job hunting and just generally hunting for anything that resembles a life.
We thought we would finish this blog with a few closing thoughts and a blooper reel.
Thoughts are in no particular order, but all are little nuggets of gold:
1. Always, always, ALWAYS check the time difference
2. 30 bed dorms are never a good idea despite the savings you might make
3. Its never too inconvenient to eat gelato. Any time is a good time
4. There's no such thing as a bad hair day when you are backpacking. Every day is a bad hair day
5. Always carry toilet paper
6. It's not shameful to eat casserole cold out of a can
7. When a Turkish man asks if he can ask you a quick question, be prepared to lose half an hour
8. Despite what anyone tells you, it DOES rain in Croatia
9. There's always enough money for chocolate
10. "Travel is glamorous only in retrospect" - Paul Theroux
We've been travelling for two months, three weeks and five days, been to more than 30 cities in fourteen countries. We've caught countless trains, busses, planes and ferries. We've eaten more bread, cheese, chocolate and gelato than ever before.
And guess what...? We're still friends.
Here are some snap shots that never made the blog. There's a good reason for this.
