Our trip has taken us half way around the World, and back. We made a few turns along the way that took us in a different direction to our plan, but then plans are for changing. 41,136 kilometres and nearly 6 weeks on the road, we arrived back in Melbourne on a chilly Monday evening, and, in the spirit of our intention, caught the bus from the airport to the city, the train to Lilydale, the bus to Seville, and Shanks’ Pony up Bell Street to a warm welcome, a warm home, and a hot meal.<\/p>\n
It’s nice to be home… a good chance to do all our favorite pursuits, like mow the lawn, clear the gutters, wash the car… and of course get back on the golf course.<\/p>\n
In near 6 weeks we have seen more than many people will see in a lifetime, and feel blessed for the opportunity we have experienced. Thanks to Mum for making this trip possible, and holding the fort in our absence.<\/p>\n
To all the avid followers of our trivial pursuit, ‘Thank You’ for your comments, ideas, suggestions, observations, and spam. We have lots of stories to share with all of you when we next meet up.<\/p>\n
