OCTOBER 25 – ‘THE LAST POST’ ... FOR THIS TRIP!


Sadly, this trip has come to an end. Here is a list of places I’ve been in the last five months (man it’s flown!) ... BUT FIRSTLY...
Huge thanks to Karen, my friend and best travel agent in the world; Mum and Dad for sharing a wonderful 12 weeks in Europe with me; Sonya and Mark and everyone on the bike trip for an amazing cycling adventure from Florence to Rome (I will be back to cycle through southern Italy with you); Giulio, Tina and the gang at Bijou for being my friends in Tuscany; Simon and Lindsay for a hoot of a fortnight in the Chianti Hills; Helen for the tour of Tarascon en Provence and tip off on the best restaurant in town; Marc for a sensational and hilarious time in Dublin; Kosta for being a great guide in Athens and sharing brilliant times on Mykonos; ‘Bessie’ my quad bike that wanted to break down and didn’t; Lady GaGa for producing ‘Alejandro’ (the theme song from Mykonos that will resinate in my brain for all of eternity); Karen and Joel for your fab hospitality in KL; Bex and Bruno and everyone else I met in Ubud for making Bali more incredible; My best mate Scott for always being in touch and enjoying the journey with me; Family and friends who followed by blog and kept in touch (grazie mille – great to hear from you, always) and new friends from around the world – “We came as strangers, became friends and left as family” – come to Brisbane!!!! You’ll love it!!!!
