Name:

We both like to travel, especially to visit family and friends around the world. Coming from Australia and Sweden and having family in Texas and California, most of our trips are to these places. And now we've embarked on a very long trip, visiting about 30 countries, so we thought we'd share our journey with you...

Leaving London


Anna (played tennis at UTM) and Troy with their daughter, Maisy


Breakfast with Dan and Smange (both played tennis at UTM) in Wimbledon Village


Thames River. London Eye Ferris Wheel in background.



We've had a great time in London. We enjoyed seeing the sites - Westminster Abbey, Churchill Museum, British Library, Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, Notting Hill, Harrod's, Wimbledon Village - but had the most fun visiting our English friends from UTM. Even though we hadn't seen each other in several years, it was easy to pick-up where we had left off. We wish that we had more time here in London but we're off to Bath tomorrow.

We were able to catch up with Smange (Angela) and Dan from UTM in the last couple of days. This whole trip has been somewhat of a college reunion tour for us as we visited other university friends in March (see March post 'Trip Down Memory Lane'). As you would have seen above, we've included some additional photos from London in this post (see previous post for the first set of photos).

Thanks to our friends for welcoming us to their homes and this fabulous city. We hope to see you again soon...either in England or Australia or even somewhere else in the world.

Hi guys

It was so nice to see you both and catch up on what you have been up to. I know you have done the London leg of your trip now, but if you feel the urge to adjust 'the spreadsheet' and stop off again before you fly out of England you are more than welcome to come back and stay. Your blog is great - really good to see the pictures of everyone from UTM. Enjoy the rest of your 'once in a lifetime' trip....safe travels.

Love
Smange x

Hello Melissa -

I just got back from driving across the USA, and I was always eager to see comments on my blog too!

Are you doing most of your traveling by train or are you flying? One of the things I like about road trips is the ability to look out the window. Hope you have the same opportunity.

Sevilla was my favorite place in Spain. I even went to see Flamenco dancing, however touristy it may be.

Where to now?

Hi!
Just checking in on you two. You're in Sweden now, right? We'll see you in six weeks and we can't wait.
Safe travels.
Love you,
Steph, Bart & Beau
