…..and then there were Seven!
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010
Lee, Helen and their daughter Bev (aka Bevhelee) have been planning for sometime to overland to Australia. Originally from the UK, they’ve lived for 5-years and then sold up in France and are now waiting the good weather to kick in - too cold to travel from this part of Europe right now! Well, they are roughly waiting till about the time we are ready to go ourselves in April. So, what do you know? - a great opportunity for us all to travel together (well - until we changed our route plan recently!) …….but the idea has now been firmed up and here we all are! With regard to the children, the type of trip we have in mind and what and how we want to do the journey, we all seem to have similar thinking. This provides better security and safety for us all as a larger group and should we run into problems, we can deal with together. We are all agreed on our trip route and are now busy getting to grips with the detail. Flexibility will be key, splitting up and doing our own thing when we can. The only really locked down transit as a group will be when we enter China together. Trust & friendship already exists between us and the added bonus will be shared costs. The benefits for the children (Jess & AJ in any case) will be that they will have more than just us to drive crazy!
