Okay, we haven’t gone anywhere yet. But we are ready. Amelia is getting in a last shift at the Cheesecake Shop at Sunday penalty rates, the proceeds of which will no doubt be invested in some Paris fashion shop.
Cases packed (I can’t find any socks, might have to buy some), iPads charged and thankfully the tickets to the Rugby arrived on Thursday. Arrived might be an overstatement. Michelle had to drive to Brisbane to collect them, however we have them. Can’t wait to do the customer survey.
Guinea pigs have been agisted, cat goes into the cattery in the morning and the in-laws have arrived to look after Hannah. Amelia has made a batch of celebratory cup cakes to underline the occasion. Not sure what else there is to do, pretty sure that it won’t be done now.
The itinerary is as follows:
- 30 August – eat cupcakes
- 31 August – depart Brisbane 2100 hrs
- 2-4 September – Rome
- 5-6 September- Florence
- 7-8 September- Venice
- 9-10 September- Bern
- 11 September – Luxembourg
- 12-13 September- Paris
- 14-16 September- Caen
- 17-18 September- Lille
- 19-21 September- Brussels
- 22-25 September- London (Emily arrives from Melbourne)
- 26-27 September- Tunbridge Wells
- 28-30 September- Salisbury
- 1-3 October- Monmouth
- 4-6 October- Leicester
- 7 October- depart Heathrow 2215 hrs
- 9 October- arrive Brisbane 0610 hrs
The next update should see us in Rome (unless I post some photos in the meantime).
Have a great time. Got a bit late to ring, thought I had better abstain from waking you just to say “Hi”. Safer that way. Will be keen to see/hear all about it. See if you can get a photo of the worlds oldest clock at Salisbury Cathedral. I didn’t see it, not sure if you are allowed, not that I expect such a little thing as permission would stop you! Best wishes from Tasmania.
Okay, I’ll see what I can sneak back on the plane. We are going to spend a couple days looking at stuff around Salisbury (the usual Stonehenge and Old Sarum).

Any of those cupcakes left?
Have a wonderful trip
Gone. Very nice they were too. I promised no pictures of food, but they weren’t food they were Rugby World Cupcakes.
