Some 15 years after the last post I am resurrecting this blog for another trip to Europe. This one will be a little different though as life has changed since our last sojourn around the Med. This time we have 3 kids in tow, a war raging in the Middle East, and infinitely more expensive wine and accommodation tastes. Will the budget stretch the 3 months? Will we be eating home cooked pasta or dining out with Grand Cru burgundy in the last few weeks of the trip? Only time will tell.....
This is going to be more diary than blog, as I know basically no one reads it (except Mum!). This will be more "dispatches from the trenches" as I no longer have the luxury of long train rides with which to compose witty, succinct pieces. As we are driving (and I am doing the lion share), there is very little down time for writing. I apologize in advance.
So first day of term two we fly out of surprisingly sunny Melbourne, bound for Rome, via Hong Kong. Long stopovers, tired kids (and adults) and lots of airplane food. Kel has been madly in rehab for a ruptured achilles, and it will interesting to see how it holds up to airport transits and walking around Rome. Europe 2.0 here we come
