And yes, this post is long overdue!
We’ve been back in the UK for nearly 8 weeks now, so what have we been up to?
Well, we’ve moved into a flat in Leeds, bought a little car/rust bucket for £500, caught up with most of our family and friends, David is teaching again, Alex is looking for work, and the 3 of us are generally settling back into life in the UK.
As we write this however, we’re actually looking out to sea from the restaurant on the ferry Mont St Michel! We’re half way home having visited Alex’s family in Normandy for a couple of days.
It’s amazing how quickly 20 months on the road can feel like you’ve only been away for 2 weeks!!
We’ve had the time of our lives over the last two years. We’ve seen some amazing places and have no regrets whatsoever about selling up and hitting the road for a couple of years. We’d highly recommend it to anyone.
And to think it all started about 3 years ago when Alex read a book called ‘How to Live Off-Grid and Unplug from the Ratrace’. Alex never reads books!!!
A huge thank you to everyone who helped us with our adventures over the past couple of years, particularly our parents who couldn’t have been more supportive, looked after the cat, and dealt with all our post for us!
The map below shows exactly where our travels have taken us over the past couple of years. The yellow lines show 2009, red shows 2010, and pink shows 2011.
Quite a bit has happened since we left Sweden to visit Copenhagen. We had a couple of weeks exploring Denmark, a few days in Berlin, and a week in Prague and the Czech Republic – all amazing experiences that will stay with us for life.
We will fill in the gaps in the blog over the coming months and we’ll add new posts from time to time when we do something worth writing about.
We hope you’ve enjoyed following our travels.
Give us a couple of years and perhaps we’ll do it all again!!
