243 or 2 out of 3

April 4th is my brother's 57th birthday. It's also this year special in a different way because it is day 243 of our tour, and that means we are at the 2/3 mark.

We've now been in all six continents that are inhabited *, having started in Europe, then travelling to Africa, Asia, and Australasia , before recently completing South America and now finally arriving in North America.

I think we will celebrate this day by doing nothing, something we haven't done in a long time.

Of course, not all nothings are equal. We shall swim in the blue waters of the Caribbean, the kids will build sandcastles, we will listen to reggae, and we will enjoy some jerk chicken and wash it down with Red Stripe.

Note that due to Covid and our attempt to always follow the warmer seasons, we missed large parts of Asia, and so we head back there at the end of this month.

* Antartica is not a place with any permanent residents. There is no culture, there are no towns, and taking kids there would completely blow the budget.Meer informatie
