The days are passing by so quickly, time is running out...
20.12.2009
Our first entry for this blog. We cannot believe that this is it...we quit our jobs, our lovely flat, said goodbye to our friends in the UK and are heading to a totally new start...Travelling for 6 months to all the countries we decided to go and then moving to Munich. Quite a challenge for 2010!
We both feel a bit sad, anxious, excited and happy. It´s a rollercoster and you paid for it, so you cannot go back. Only 2 days to go then (well if Manchester Airport is not closed again....!) we will take the plane to Germany / Italy and in a few weeks time we will be back in Manchester to take the BIG PLANE, going to New Zealand.
Our first stop is Christchurch and we will start our journey on 13th of January 2010....Our travel equipment is ordered and we are proud owners of new shoes that are supposed to be the best for a worldtrip (I think the Sales man was very talented...), our budget is updated - which equals around 20 Euros per day (we wish ourselves good luck really), we are pumped up with vaccinations and malaria tabletts and we are just waiting to take off.....Here they come....and were never seen again:) Well no, we´ll try to be back in ....July - for the good weather! First we will spend Christmas at home and we really look forward to it. Merry Christmas everyone and we hope to have a good start of the year!
