Yawn!
Al here and we’re over halfway home, and thankfully the longest flight is over.
Florence was a lot of fun, though we probably could have cut our stay a little shorter – we made up for this by doing a day trip out into Tuscany (yes it really is that nice), and another to Pisa (yes the tower really is leaning) Also managed to tuck into a really nice italian meal for my birthday
Barcelona was pretty awesome too, after we had a lazy day the first day we got there on account of a 4:30am start (thankyou volcano for changing our flights) we had a lazy day either chillin in the hotel (Pixie) or on the beach (The rest of us) Went out for Tapas that night though, which was good, yet somehow different to what we expected. Did a bike tour of the city the next day then went to a bit of a cookery thing where we learnt how to make some tapas, paella and lots and lots of Sangria. The quantity of sangria and beers after meant Jen and I had another lazy day, while the boys hit the local football ground – to quote “it’s fecking huge”
Anyway, gotta go, internet time is running out!
Just checked the flight details and see that your plane left as scheduled (well, 3 minutes late) and due in on time to Sydney tonight.
We’ve really enjoyed reading your updates on what has been an amazing trip. Have to say I’ll be glad to have you home again though!
One happy mum.
