And that's a wrap... 8 months travelling full-time.
We're officially back in Wales!
And crikey, what an 8 months it's been.
From being snowed in in France in January, to sunrise walks in Spain and avoiding processionary caterpillars like the plague...
To Morocco, where being chased by packs of stray dogs became semi-regular, we helped get a German Shepherd puppy out of a tiny pet shop and I explored Africa's biggest souk by myself.
Three ferries later, with a few days in Italy in between, we made it to Albania, which was just amazing. Beautiful walks, sea and lake swims and, of course, Missy — the stray we semi-adopted and who I still want to somehow find again. ❤️
Then Montenegro's ridiculous landscapes, Hospitality on the Beach in Croatia (had to squeeze some DnB in there somewhere 😂) and Bosnia, where we experienced some of the best hospitality of the whole trip AND some of the most brutal storms, one of which took out our Starlink.
I also somehow managed to squeeze in a quick solo trip back to the UK.
Meanwhile, throughout the Balkans, Rolo developed an obsession with tortoises while I was constantly on the lookout for snakes. 😂
Somewhere amongst all of that, we've kept working, taken on new clients and launched Orbit & Anchor. 💫⚓
Then we finished it all off with a 7-day drive from Bosnia to Wales, making our way through Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, Germany and the Netherlands... with a motorway breakdown and a tyre popping for good measure.
Oh, and the windscreen wipers broke, along with the electrics, meaning we couldn't drive at night OR in the rain. 😂
Safe to say that final week finished me off. My skin has broken out and I've been getting dizzy spells since getting back, so I think my body is requesting that I sit down for five minutes.
We're in Wales for a little while now... but naturally, we're already looking into our next adventure. 👀 And we have BIG plans.
I'll make a proper highlights video soon because there is SO much I've missed from this, but right now I absolutely do not have the capacity to go through 8 months' worth of photos and videos. 😂
Grateful but pooped ❤️
