Back in Aus
Hi all (if anyone is still reading)
We got back to Australia about 5 weeks ago and I have been back at work for 4 weeks. We spent a week in Cambodia, primarily in Pnomh Penh with our friend Lia and Co but also flew to Siam Reap and visited the very amazing Angkor Watt (Much better than any European Cathedral). Arriving in Melbourne we collected Sophie who hadn't seemed to have noticed we had gone and stayed with my Cousin Joe and his wife Claire and spent some time with my sister Liz and Kurt. The weather in Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney was amazing after coming from snow in london through the sauna of Cambodia. We drove through Canberra seeing my mother Claire and sister Kate and got back to Sydney with 2 days to spare before work started. We moved back home last weekend after spending a few weeks with Bob who lives nearby.
I have gotten back into the work routine - 6.30 am train and home by 6.30pm but am enjoying it.
We now have a phone
02 8006 1371 (last 4 digits are my bday!)
Its a skype ph and costs $10/month for unlimited worldwide calls (has already paid for itself on day one with a marathon phone call to Anna in Canberra last night).
Anyway - Linda is still settling in to the house and will update this properly soon. Will add some more pics soon as well.
Regards
John

Back in London
Weve done a few k's since the last post and are now back at Charles's place in London. We left Jaki at Lisbon on 15 Feb and collected Nik and Katy for the weekend. Since then we have visited Tomar (Templar Knights hangout), Santiago de Compostella (Our time in Pergatory is officially halved!!), San Sebastion where we met Mike and Allen, Montignac again to see our french friends Natalie, Chris and family. We have also seen Paris and many of its sites and Amsterdam where we visited a coffee shop. Our last days were spent in Belgium where we saw Ieper (Ypres) where many soldiers died in WW1 including 43,000 Australians. The last post at the Menin Gates in Ieper was very moving (they do it every night at 8pm). The Menin Gate is a memorial to the 54,500 Commonwealth troops who died in WW1 before 1917 and have no known grave (Including many Australians, New Zealanders and Canadians).
Seafrance were on strike so we were put on a P&O ferry to recross the channel after a frustrating discussion with the English Customs. We told them we were from Australia and definitely did not want to stay in the UK but they had to see air tickets, van ownership proof etc etc.
Today we took the van to get MOT'd (rego'd) and it passed with flying colors. Next week we will pass the keys to Nik and Katy who will do another lap of Europe.
We leave London on 28 March and will spend a week in Cambodia before landing in Melbourne on the morning of 7 April.
Linda has been writing the blog but will need a full day to type it all up.
Regards
John & Linda
