GOODBYE TO LONDON!

So we are leaving in half an hour to head to Cornwall for a few days before getting on a ship to Santander in Spain. So many people have asked us about our itinerary so here it is...

12th May - My birthday - Pop open a very special bottle of champagne beer that lachies been saving for this occasion!
14th May 12pm we board a ship to Santander (it takes 22 hours).
Travelling through the north of Spain into Portugal
23rd May picking up Anna from Lisbon
26th May Dropping Anna off in Seville
After Seville we plan on going to Grenada then up to Madrid then back to to Barcelona and follow the coast up and along the South of France. Into Italy and follow the coast the whole way down. Maybe go to Sicily if we have time. We are then getting a boat to Greece where we are meeting Dan in Athens on the 6th July where we will then, with Dan, go through Albania all the way to Bosnia where we drop him off on the 16th July - before continuing up to Zagreb in Croatia. Solvenia is next for a few days then onto Austria to the alps to hear the hills alive with the sound of music! Switzerland, Germany - Jennys place and hopefully up to Berlin and then France and THEN back to london for a week or so before flying home.

We are sad to say goodbye to our coach house, our really wonderful friends that we've made since we've been here. My family, the spring flowers, the amazing weather we've had in the past week or so and finally the London transport system....joke...
We are taking our laptop with us so will be in fairly regular contact.

Don't worry - we will be safe! We have a baseball bat for any boogie monsters, a valid fire extinguisher (thanks to our super neighbour Andy!) lots of sunscreen, and lots of good playlists on our ipods.

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!
