                                                     A Long Time Coming

It was May 5 2018 when we last started out on the long trip to the Northern Hemisphere from NZ.

We had very much enjoyed a visit to Peru and Argentina for a month in October 2019, but just a few months after that, Covid closed down our travelling world. So we are excitedly looking forward to this excursion and are slowly getting back up to speed on all the travel technologies. Our plan is for a couple of weeks each in Portugal, France and Sweden. 

For Lisbon and surrounds we'll do our own self-guided tour, a product of much time and research by Ann. We'll then fly to Paris for a couple of days with Choco and Vikki, friends from Melbourne, and then we all head to Brittany for yet another canal boating experience, but in a new part of France. This is our sixth expedition with Locaboat since 2008. After our boating we'll do some sightseeing around the NW coast of Brittany. 

Choco and Vikki will then go to watch a bit of cricket at Lords and we'll head for Sundsvall and Uppsala in Sweden to catch up with our Swedish family connections.

Here's the plan.
