Yes 6 months has come and gone and we are back into the UK after a gruelling 30 hours on aeroplanes and a 5 hour drive up north. We were greeted with in the usual UK way with rain, wind and a load of miserable customs officials! It was made easier by being greeted by Heather's mum and dad and then breakfast at McDonalds!
We are already missing the weather, the scenery and the people but we are ready to come home as living out of a bag and moving on from place to place was pretty knackering! We have travelled 8 countries and have taken more than 2,900 photos and we have covered more than 25,000 miles! I am sure you'll agree that it has been a great adventure.
We both agree that it is very hard to name a favourite place but we think it comes between Croatia and New Zealand and we encourage you all to venture forth and travel. There is a big wide amazing world to see and we hope our travels have inspired some of you to travel.
As we were in Christchurch for little over a day, we did not do much other than shop and celebrate our last day with a meal and a giant handle of beer!
This blog is just a big THANK YOU to you all for logging on to our blog and the comments and emails made regarding it. We hope you have enjoyed reading the blog as much as we have writing it. We have received over 4,000 hits from you all and some comments from the public too.
Our experience was just amazing from the intense travelling and site seeing in Europe to the beautiful and laid back Oz and the lusciously scenic New Zealand and we are glad that you have followed us from one end of the world to the other.
So thank you for all your support and we wish you all the best for 2009
Your travelling friends
Jamie and Heather xx
