The wanderers return

Touchdown and travelling down the M4.

So we are back. BA not as good as AA in terms of service and entertainment but was a night flight and went fairly swiftly and pretty much landed as expected.

Will tidy up the blog a bit over the next few days so we have a permanent record of our travels but thanks again for joining us on our adventure. Very much in the spirit of how chrissi and I used to travel pre kids and pleased we can now involve the kids. To be fair we have driven to Spain and France in recent years so we have been moving more in this direction.

Right, final thoughts and observations from me:

Carys can write, my god can she write!
Bryn shows real character and calmness when the chips are down. A quiet leader.
Chrissi and I are greater than the sum of our parts, achieving so much as a team
The world is a mixed up place and education and liberal views are sadly not necesarily in the majority
The world offers so much through technology, geology and culture. In the words of Bueller, if you don't stop and look about once in a while you might just miss it.

(Carys) So, I can't actually believe it's all over! As an individual I have been on such a journey, and learned a lot about culture, geography, my family and myself. For instance:

I never knew I was okay at shooting basketballs into a hoop.

Bryn proved to eat not as much as he had intended to, and not as much as I thought he would.

Dad was a quick learner, and after a few jerks he soon got into the hang of driving an automobile with the driving wheel on the opposite seat.

Mum was actually really great at pointing out famous landmarks, and helping me actually see the world around me.

Finally, the world is a beautiful place and some and some people don't acknowledge that. I recommend going on this road trip with your family,because I found it truly amazing.
