Farewell to Bristol and England 06.08.2007

After a busy year of working and traveling through England and Europe, we made the decision to finish up in Bristol and make our way back to Australia. We did have a little detour planned on the way… via Croatia to see Nada’s extended family, then western Europe for 28 days, then Scotland, then Egypt for 8 days! We should be home in 7 weeks or so…

Just before we left, Ed and Zoe had us over for a traditional English Roast. Complete with Yorkshire Puddings and all. Fantastic meal and a great evening, even though I had a fair bit of red wine!


Ed and his 'soon to be world famous' Yorkshire Puddings!

We of course had to clean our apartment from head to toe before leaving and also ship back items we had collected over the past year.

After getting the apartment ready to hand the keys back, we headed out for one last walk around Queens Square to reminisce on the great times we had whilst overseas, in particularly in Bristol. Of all the places in the UK, I think we chose well picking Bristol. Great people, great Bristolian accents, Great Ciders, Close to Cornwall, has its own airport, and just so much more relaxed and quieter than London!

How clean does the apartment look now!

Hey guys.

Sorry to see you go. Now you are leaving me here to deal with the Brits on my own. Hope you had a wonderful time in Bristol and I am looking forward to catching up with you two somewhere in the world in the future.
