Christmas/New Year Letter 2015
Christmas/New Year Letter 2015
It’s been quite a year. In fact, it’s been quite a couple of years. Just over two years ago, Emily and I moved out of our flat in York to embark on a pretty incredible adventure. It had been our dream since we got married in 2008 to go and travel around the world together for a year before we settled down and had kids. After 5 years of saving up, I finished my EngD thesis and Em finished a…

20th August: Lake Bled to Bad Gastein
20th August: Lake Bled to Bad Gastein
Thursday 20/08/2015 Em writing We’d been studying the forecast ever since we arrived in Bled, hoping for a sunny day to really appreciate the true beauty of the scenery. Luckily, it was forecast to be blue sky first thing in the morning before we had to catch our train to Bad Gastein. However, this meant getting up at 5:30am for sunrise at 6:10am. It was a bit of an effort to get Andie out of bed…

19th August: Walk around Lake Bled
19/08/2015 Em writing Unusually it was Andie who had a nice sleep in rather than me! He got up about 9:30 after having been in bed about 10pm the day before! We tried to have showers but there was no hot water so we only had very quick ones! We hadn’t brought any breakfast with us so we went out to a mini supermarket by the lake. I got a chocolate croissant and Andie bought a cheese pastry. It…

18th August: Zagreb to Lake Bled
Tuesday 18/08/2015 Andie writing I had to be up fairly early this morning as I’d arranged a Skype chat (informal interview really) with a startup company in Melbourne. They seem to do very interesting work that’s a nice continuation and development of what I was doing for my doctorate. I thought the chat went very well, it seemed like both them and I came away thinking it would be good to work…

16th August: The deep, deep blue of the Plitviče Lakes
16th August: The deep, deep blue of the Plitviče Lakes
Sunday 16/08/15 Em writing Today started early for us as we knew that we weren’t going to be alone at the famous tourist hotspot and world heritage site of the Plitvice Lakes. We got up at 7:20am and managed to be in the queue at entrance 1 to the national park by 9am. A long queue had already built up so I left Andie in it whilst I went to buy sandwiches and a map of the park. We had the rest of…

9th August: Church and yummy cake
Sunday 09/08/15 Em writing Despite being sleepy from the fireworks the night before, amazingly we were all up in time to set off for church. We were one of the first families there! It was nice to recognise a few friends from Paul and Marion’s bible study group that we had visited in January 2014. The guy leading the worship with a guitar was from the USA and he led a song that most of the…

August 15th: Off to Plitviče
Saturday 15/08/15 Em writing Our Airbnb check out time was 10am which we made complete with bags. However in our haste we’d forgotten two ice cream lollies that we’d left in the freezer so we had to get back into our apartment through the garage! We walked to the boat taxi stop and had a cool drink in the bar next door whilst we waited for the boat to arrive. Then we were off back to the airport…

14th August: Swimming in Beautiful Waters
Friday 14/08/15 Em writing Another relaxing morning began with Andie going out to buy some fresh bread for breakfast. We weren’t really sure what all the different breads were in the little supermarket but Andie chose well as he brought back a sweetened one that was a bit like doughnut and and a bit like brioche. We caught up with emails and then went to a beach bar for lunch. We knew that they…

13th August: Split
Thursday 13/08/15 Em writing Today we got up earlyish to catch the 11am taxi boat to Trogir so that we could pick up a hire car from the airport. Our journey time to Trogir was a bit longer this time as there were more people to pick up from different stops along the way. We caught the local bus to the airport and then entered the terminal looking for our Modus car hire representative who we had…

12th August: Tootle to Trogir
Wednesday 12/08/15 Em writing As usual we enjoyed a lazy morning with fruit and yoghurt for breakfast before heading out to find some lunch. We went back to a restaurant that had looked good the night before and at first we were the only customers! A young waiter served us explaining that it was quite a long shift for him. He had to start work at 7am and be there until the restaurant closed,…

10th August: CERN, future bookings, past work
Monday 10/08/15 Em writing Paul and Harriet were up and off before the rest of us as it was a work day for them. Marion, Andie and I joined them at the French CERN site for lunch with quite a number of Paul’s work colleagues (we took up 5 tables in the cafeteria!) I shared duck in orange sauce with Paul whilst Andie went for the healthier option of a salad. The chef had been generous in our…

8th August: Fabulous Fireworks at the Fêtes de Genève
Saturday 08/08/2015 Andie writing After finishing our breakfast and packing, we had a last dip in the pool as the air was already quite warm! Even though the pool isn’t covered so must lose a fair bit of heat overnight, it must have still been 28 or 29°c – very nice indeed! Nick and Debbie took us down to Cannes station. This would be the last time we’d see them before setting off to Australia,…

7th August: Relaxing before an evening in scenic Mougins
Friday 07/08/2015 Andie writing I spent a good part of the day reading more of Bill Bryson’s Down Under. As with all the people we’ve met who’ve been there (Sydneysiders possibly excepted), he loved Melbourne. Even though he visited in 1999, it’s nice to see all the things we liked described by him too. Em was very disciplined and spent the day working on her CV :). After one long swim, we…

6th August: Antibes and Cannes
06/08/2015 Andie writing After a swim, Nick dropped us off at the bus stop to get the bus down into Antibes. In the past this bus used to be free, but it was now €1. We didn’t have any change and neither did the driver. Fortunately another passenger on the bus was able to break our €20 so we could buy our bus tickets! Down in Antibes it was extremely hot. We strolled around the old streets…
