Well we have been at home for a week now so I guess this is goodbye to only the washing up.
What a fantastic year it has been.
We have seen so many fantastic sites, met such wonderful people, eaten all sorts of great food and even sampled the odd local beer. Swum in many seas and lakes and rivers, climbed a up few mountains, climbed down a few caves, wandered through fields and forests, and even seen the desert..
The memories of it will stay with us forever and it may even have changed the people that we were going to be into the people that we now will be.
This adventure is now over, but the adventure of everyday life is still there to be lived hour by hour and day by day. And it is up to us to make it into something interesting, extraordinary and worthwhile.
These pictures are from our house last night, it’s not such a bad place to be is it….
Until the next time, much love, Ruth x

I shall really miss reading all of your family’s stories and adventures – even Tim’s ;-D
Are you going to leave your site up a bit longer so we can re-read the stories? Or what happens to them next? You have certainly made me want to visit places that I have never considered at all before – such as Morrocco – and your ability to get by in any country in any language has been remarkable.
Hope to see you all soon. love Frances x

I think we are changed by your travels too,reading and being part of them was one of the best things that happened to us in the past year. Thanks for letting us join in.
Watching the Tour de France made us appretiate how many more camper vans you have yet to meet!!
Have you finished the washing up yet?
