Well everyone… There won’t be many posts here for a while now. My trip is over.
Italy was brilliant. I really enjoyed my time there and I can’t wait to go back… next time with someone and maybe with a bit of the language under my belt.
I started this adventure quite nervously and not knowing what to expect. I come away from it, a little wiser… All of it was apparently “part of the experience”. The world does seems smaller. I have a taste for travel and thus I can only conclude that somewhere along the way I must have been gnawed on by a roving insect.
Among many things, I learnt: – Tours are a brilliant way to see the sights without the stress. – Travelling alone can be lonely. – We take breakfast for granted. – Luggage isn’t guaranteed. – Foreign people don’t look foreign. – Currency conversion is annoying. – Phones, toilets, a laundry & the internet can be luxury items. – Scams can work once even on me. – Living out of a suitcase can take its toll. – No bed feels better than your own. – No amount of negative experiences can diminish the awesome experiences. – It’s great to relax in a foreign country & not worry about seeing sights. – The world is a big place.
Anyway, life in my home town goes on. I’m back at work. Sleeping in my own bed. Trying to settle into a routine after such a brilliant trip.
But… My next big trip… Egypt? Big trip after that… the south of Italy?
I’m considering moving my Italy posts to my website. I’ll post some of my pictures soon… I have to weed through the 1,918 and pick out my favourites… so give me a little while.
Thanks & good night! 🙂
