Last Day- by the Thames

Well its almost over. We have visited Winston Churchills war rooms this morning and have just been wandering along the Thames under the lovely big tree's on a hot sunny day.

Things we've done:

o Took 7 flights
o Spent 31 hours in the air
o Visited 5 countries several times
o Slept in 26 hotels and beds
o Had 20 transfers (they are the expensive bit!)
o Travelled 2760kms by rental car
o Sat in airports for 16 hours prior to flights
o Stood in immigration queues for 9 hours
o Caught 5 taxis, 3 trains, 11 buses, 2 underground trip2, 1 monorail
o Saw 9 good friends
o Made 2 new friends (Dungeness)
o Estimated to have drunk 84 pints (have been dehydrated a number of times!)
o 6 bottles of wine, 2 bottles of Ouzo, 10 diet cokes, 20 bottles of water
o Purchased 2 pairs of boots, 1 pair of jandals, 1 pair of scuffs, 2 pair running shoes, 1 pair Italian shoes
o Seen countless new places & wonders, the inside of a nuclear power station
o Best travel tip…… still that good pair of earplugs!

We are off to start the first of the two flights home- cya on the other side (literally for us)! Thanks to all those who have read, commented or enjoyed the blog:-)
