BozAroundTheWorld – the end
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

très belle photo de famille! très beau voyage! merci de l’avoir partagé !!!
à très bientôt! j’espère…
A wonderful wonderful adventure. I have really enjoyed following you on your travels.
Happy Easter!
I LOVED following around the world with you, right here from NYC. IT has been such a pleasure, and I’ll look forward to many more of your posts once you settle back into what ever is next! What a wonderful trip its been. xo
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. 😀
Thanks for sharing the Boz adventures around the world. You are coming back to London when it’s sunny and hot, and very pleasant…welcome back!
Thank you for sharing. You all look so relaxed in the photo above… See you around London!
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!!
magnifique photo de famille, vous êtes beaux tous les 4, radieux après cet incroyable périple. à bientôt
