counting down the days until departure
Most of you know that Lorenza and I grabbed an air ticket bargain - two for the price of one to Frankfurt. There were two catches to this discount ticket ...

1. We originally planned to travel in September, but had to change this to depart at the end of May,
2. We had wanted to be away for about 4 weeks, but had to extend this to almost 7 weeks as we could not get an earlier return flight on the discount ticket.

So, we had to make the big sacrifice and settle for almost 7 weeks travel in the European summer rather than 4 weeks in autumn, life can be tough! Our rough plan is ....

• A stop over in Singapore in both directions,
• Germany - Frankfurt
• Austria - Vienna - Graz
• Slovenia - Maribor - Bled - Ljubljana
• Croatia - Rovinj (Istrian Coast)
• Italy - Venice
• France - Paris
• Netherlands - Deurne - and ???
• France - Alsace
• Germany - Frankfurt.

We depart May 26 and return July 10. We intend to relax, try not to rush too much, travel by a variety of means, and meet some local people via Couch Surfing or Hospitality Club on our way. Plus, catch up with some family and friends also.
