End of an era




So that’s it, this is my last post on Honeymoon.



We leave tomorrow ready to start our next adventure as husband and wife. We think we have a car lined up, we have a long list of cottages we want to view in and around Bath, I have a business plan ready to take to the bank and a friend working on my logo as we speak.



Over the last six months we’ve ridden horses and elephants, been on tuk-tuks, ships, boats, planes, helicopters, bicycles, speedboats, taxis, sky-trains, mopeds, ski-lifts, buses, tubes, trains, luges, trams, campervans, flown and walked on glaciers, got drenched by a gigantic waterfall, climbed centuries old temples, watched New Year fireworks on a Thai beach, snorkelled, fallen into freezing ice, seen glow worms, eaten Thai noodles, Cambodian noodles, Ozzie BBQs, NZ lamb, Argentine beef, drank sangsom rum in Thailand, Syrah in Australia, Pinot Noir in NZ, Pisco Sours in Chile, Medio y Medio in Uruguay and Malbec in Arentina had a one on one with a famous Buddhist monk, nearly been ordered out of a country, driven the Great Ocean Road, seen geysers, lain in hotsprings, driven across a sand island in a four wheel drive, surfed(ish), sandboarded, drank our way across the world’s best vineyards, slept in everything from a bug ridden bamboo bungalow to a state of the art private pool villa, got pulled off a bus and searched for no reason whatsoever, lost a credit and found a credit card, ate Crocodile for Christmas dinner, milked a cow and drank the milk 2 seconds later, got ridiculously close to emigrating, fortunate enough to narrowly dodge cyclones, floods, bush fires and earthquakes, had far too many encounters with rats and spiders, experienced a ‘traditional’ Welsh Tea in the middle of Patagonia, cheered at rugby and football games, dodged the blood and sweat at thai kickboxing, broken an ipod, lost an ipod-unfortunately we didn’t lose the broken one. It’s been an amazing trip, more than we could ever have imagined.



We are starting our next adventure exhausted, exhilarated, happy and in love and it’s because of you, our wonderful family and friends that we have had the most amazing six months of our lives. We are forever grateful to YOU.



The next adventure starts tomorrow, we’ll be seeing you all soon...now how many films can I squeeze into a 14 hour flight.......
