Roma to Home Sweet Home!

And so endeth our 8.5 weeks Croatia & Italy Odyssey! Although the principle purpose of FindPenguins travel blog was to diarize our journey as a record for ourselves there were other significant benefits. We were so happy to be able to share our experiences with family and friends and appreciated the lovely encouraging comments we received along the way. Your comments helped us feel connected and that is a good feeling when so far from home and when things don't go as planned, eg illness. Having said that we feel blessed to have been able to keep going even when we weren't feeling so good for a couple of weeks in the middle of the holiday.
A travel writer said "take half the clothes and double the money overseas" and we found that to be absolutely true! Although we do not regret one Euro we spent, if we did travel overseas again, we would probably do things differently to contain costs.
We have made some wonderful friends, especially on the bike trips and have seen indescribable natural beauty and amazing ancient historical sites.
We have just landed at Adelaide Airport - good to be back home! So the last leg of our journey has finished and it's time to, sadly, for the moment, say goodbye!
With much love, Roger & Kerrie xxEn savoir plus
