Heading Home

Well, after over 60 days in Europe and UK, we are turning westward and heading home to Calgary. It has been a fantastic journey and we are so thankful for the experience, so grateful for the hospitality and so much wiser for taking up the challenge.

For the last few days, we have been exploring London - one of the most interesting, historic, chaotic, confusing and wonderful cities in the world. Hard to put into words except to say that it would take weeks to see and appreciate this city - and the effort would be well worth it.

Simply getting around is the most challenging part. Lill and I have been logging dozens of kilometers every day since arriving in Brussels in September. But, the streets of London are especially exhausting. You need a hardy breakfast to get the gears turning ;-)

The beer tastes soooooooo good after a day exploring, a good stout supper (steak and beer pie with mashed potatoes and veg - Lill had fish pie with salmon and cod...oh yeah, and beer) Slept like a baby!

Tomorrow leave Heathrow at "oh dark thirty" heading for Copenhagen and onwards to Frankfurt. Then a 10+ hour flight to Calgary. What a wonderful way to end the trip.

Will update when we are on the ground in Calgary and will put together a Picassa album for those who are interested.

Thank you for following!
