My daughter Anna, her partner Sim, and their daughter Aelie (10) have just returned from an epic world trip, and came to stay to tell us about their adventures.
This is a précis of what they did. Links lead to their blog 'Take me to the Mountains'.
It is an echo of what we did as a family in 1982, when Anna was 5, and we travelled from NZ to the UK over about seven months using a multi-stop air ticket through Asia and Europe.
1982
Their first stop was in Tokyo.
Kamikochi in the Chubb Sangaku National Park in Nagano.
From Japan, a short stopover in Helsinki.
The Algarve
Sintra
Canoeing in the Rio Grande
Aelie catching a piranha in the Amazon
Machu Picchu
Alpaca wool dyeing
Torres del Paine
Perito Moreno glacier
They all returned, triumphant and happy.
It was lovely to see them all. After a week, Anna and Sim returned to Melbourne, and Aelie stayed on for another week.
We stayed in Brisbane and went to some shows and GOMA.
