Thea’s adventure 2019

12 February to 13 May 2019

The adventure wasn’t just mine, but it was a journey to honour my 70th birthday with the family.

The rule is that we meet somewhere that no-one has been. That is getting increasingly difficult as Bruce and I have notched up close to one hundred countries and Evan and Steph have visited a few we haven’t seen.

So the choice was made, by the rest of the family, to visit Macedonia – in February. Yes it was cold and the tourist sites were empty, but we managed a magical week there. Bruce and I came via Doha and continued to Kosovo and Albania then to Corfu and Cyprus.

We returned to Berlin to visit Hayden and Andrea. The news was finally out – they are expecting their first child in September 2019.

We then visited Martine and Denis in Switzerland with a quick stop over in Stuttgart to visit Rebecca and Felix and family.

From there a flight to New York to spend some time with Evan and Steph before making a 6,000 km road trip across the southern USA states.

We stopped in Hawaii on the way home.

It was a short 3 month jaunt. But then we will have to return to Berlin later in the year to meet out first grandchild. So we came home with excited expectations in our heart.
