Days 47, 48 & 49 - Rome, Abu Dhabi & Sydney

I am writing this early as I will not have wifi for the next couple of days. We start the epic 62 hour door-to-door journey home. First stop is Rome then a six hour layover. Then to Abu Dhabi for an 18 hour layover. Finally then off to Sydney. Then K's brother Kevin will pick us up from the airport and drive us to Hornsby before hopping into our car to drive to Lochinvar.

So our final journey as a family comes to an end. It's back to reality for the next few years at least although we are already planning our next trip. 

It's been an amazing journey and along the way we have met some wonderful and beautiful people. I have taken thousands of photos, passed hundreds of beggars, caught 12 different flights, explored eight countries, been away for seven weeks, walked on four continents, been ill three times and have zero money left. We have caught up with family and friends, been part of a tour group and have been on our own and I wouldn't change a thing. What a magic experience and what an education. 

K was hesitant in travelling within a year of our last trip and was particularly reluctant to travel to Morocco and she got me thinking the same but now she thinks it was the best thing we could have done and I agree. You just never know what lies around the corner and I must admit with every trip I do find climbing a little more difficult. As I quoted before - "The most dangerous risk of all is the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later." I truly believe this.
