BozAroundTheWorld – the end

Apr 23, 2011

We are finishing our Round the World today. Last stop, Rio de Janeiro. Right where we started, five months ago.

As I write this last post before we head back to London, I am reminded of these buddhist words of wisdom, which I quoted when we were in Burma early January.

What life on earth is…

A falling star, a bubble in a stream.

A flame in the wind. Frost in the sun.

A flash of lightning in a summer cloud.

A phantom in a dream.

I hope you enjoyed travelling with us on this beautiful adventure. Please don’t hold it against me if I don’t post for a little while now. I am going to have to find my raison d’être again…

Beijos from Rio, with lots of Saudade

My goodness, finished already? Ah noooooooooo. I feel I only started reading this just last week! My how time flies! Thank you Vanessa, for taking us through a wonderful journey, sharing your travels, your family, your experiences with us. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much more of parts of the world that I was ignorant in. We just went to see the movie Rio yesterday and that combined with the fact that my father lived many years in Sao Paulo.. I would love to visit Brasil! Eat real fejoada and immerse myself in Brazilian culture. : ) Have a safe trip home and I hope and wish you a soft landing back home. 😀

Loved reading about your wonderful adventure – was very inspired. Shame we didn’t get to see you in New Zealand.
Hope you don’t find living back in London too dull now!!

Crete without the crowds

The travel corridor announced mid-October between the UK and Crete allowed for a brief family escape to a Crete without the crowds. It was perfect timing for Sea Sand and Sun ahead of what is shaping up to be a very looong winter. It also gave me a chance to...

Open boarders in Africa right now

The African wildlife is thriving and the hotels have plenty of capacity. For those who can, and have the appetite for risk in this tumultuous environment, it's one of those rare times in our lifetime to visit the vastness of the African plains without many 4x4 in...
