Okay so we have made a couple of slight adjustments to the schedule towards the end of May/ start of June. A bit off the cuff and random, but we have decided to fly to Istanbul, Turkey for around 5 days. a) we really want to see the city/country, b) we are actually going to be there during the Formula 1 Grand Prix, so we have bought 3 day tickets to that as well. WOOOHOOO!! we can't wait for that!
Also just wanted to let yas know that the schedule after Oktoberfest is still very much up in the air. In that we aren't exactly sure when we will be in Thailand, and don't know exactly when we will be back in Brissie! (but it will be sometime in November). So dont go buying any flights to Thailand to meet us there until we can confirm when we will be able to leave London. If you are interested in meeting us, leave a comment and let us know so we can start confirming dates towards that end of the schedule.
