Here we all go again.... A lovely start to what will end up being your true travelling memoir. If you keep this up I definitely think a book is in the making!! Can't wait for the next installment. Love you all xxxx
Sunshine Glad the sun is shining in Berlin! Nathan has been muttering 'Nate gone on big holidays' all morning - he's missing him already! Have fun and keep us updated!

Looking forward to following your trip We did HongKong to London via Mongolia a couple of years ago. Looking forward to reliving the experience through your trip. Will be on the road around Australia when you get here so maybe we will bump into each other. Have a great time.

Good Luck I hope you guys have a fantastic time and enjoy every step of the journey, I admire you loads for doing this with the children and to me it shows just how fantastic you are as parents as most people use children as an excuse to not even go abroad for a week let alone backpacking! Have a wonderful time & I look forward to the updates on this blog, I get excited when I get an email through saying you have posted a new entry.
Best of luck, chill out & enjoy

Have a great time! You guys are only just down the road from us in Northampton... the world really is a small place!
Sounds like you are all ready to go go so best of luck with it all until we get your first update. You have an exciting trip planned and we'll look forward to reading all about it... what an experience for Nate & Gabe too!
The Ultimate Tourist My name is Jennie and i would just like to inform you that there now is a homepage called http://theultimatetourist.com, where tourists around the world finally can get some use out of all the photos they have, posing by different tourist attractions.
Here you can choose from over one hundred attractions and typical touristic activities, upload your photos and collect one tourist point for each photo. Reach different levels and everybody over 80 points will become Ultimate Tourists (Remember you have to be in the photos yourself, to prove you were actually there, and yes, 'On an elephant' is one of the options.. :).
So if you want to compete with your photos, or just spread the word, go into theultimatetourist.com
Good luck with your travels!
I wish my Photoshop skills were that good. :) I wish my Photoshop skills were that good. :)
We got there before it opened at 5.45am and were second in the queue for tickets. We then ran to it and fired off a few shots before anyone else was there.... about 2s later. within half an hour the place is swarming with peeps.
so in a nutshell... the early bird catches the worm! ;)
Classic anecdote about the guy on the train You made me laugh.......(a lot!) with the anecdote about the guy on the train. Don't know if it was horror or what but thanks!! Good blog :)
memories I love your blog so much, the way you describe things just brings it all back to me and I deffo want to experience more of India. It is a defo a love/hate relationship I have with the place though!
Beautiful Lilypad I absolutely adore your image of the lily pad, with water droplets.
I am writing you to ask your permission to use a a low resolution derivative of the image in commercially (floating in a stream in children's software). The texture would be small, 512x512, and otherwise unreproducible.
Would you guys be ok with this? It's by far the nicest photo I've seen.
Keep up the beautiful shooting!
regards,
Ben
So... It's been six years since we got back from our big family travels. A lot can happen in six years and the kids are growing at a pace that's completely overwhelming.
We have 'settled' back into life in the UK, which for all its problems is an amazing country and we love it here. We've got back on track with our careers and the kids are progressing well with their schooling.
As for travel, thankfully we still haven't stopped. Over the last few years we've been to a few more places in Europe, spent many weeks in Thailand and Malaysia, celebrated our 10 yea... full info
