pins in our world map

Posted on Updated on

Blue = Europe
Red = Asia
White = Africa
Black = Australia
Green = South America
Yellow = North America

And that lonely black pin that is sitting in the middle of Australia is our latest addition to the world map in our study.

Every time we look at this map, it reminds us how little of the world we have actually seen and how much more we have yet to explore. Every pin holds many memories, mostly all fond with the odd hiccup that one would expect when travelling.

 Africa currently has only one spot in the Indian Ocean, dotted on Mauritius – one of our 2005 adventures. Later this year, we will be fortunate enough to be able to add a few more pins into the African continent but this time on the mainland. In fact, it was only today that we have decided to begin the process of getting our visas for our trip to Kenya and Tanzania.

engaged and off to europe

Posted on Updated on

We’re engaged! So to celebrate our engagement, we are having not only a party but also a farewell as we’re off to Europe for 4 months.

We booked our flights to Europe in November last year. In just over 100 days we will be gone. It’s been a hard slog, working 6 days a weeks to save up for this but sure it will be totally worth it!

So the itinerary looks like this:

Greece, Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic, Ireland, Great Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, Malta, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland…. Doesn’t seem like 4 months when we write it out like that!

We have family in Belgium, France and England so it would be a great opportunity to meet each other’s families.

Getting really excited!!
