Europe 2025 | It's a Wrap

After some 51 nights away from home, we are finally heading back to the comfort of our own home (with our own showers and own beds) - and more importantly for the kids - their own rooms!

We travelled over 42,150km via plane, train, automobile (and boat, ferry, sledge and tram!).

And as a final wrap:

- 12 Flights - 39,730km

- 17 Train Trips - 1,777km (including 2 of the worlds best scenic train rides) 

- Ferry / Boats in 4 countries - ~`150km (including canals, rivers, fjords and lagoons)

- Trams, Trains and Buses in 8 countries (including heritage trams from the early 1900s)

- Taxi's, Uber's and for a terrifying couple of days a hire car in Italy.

- Walking some 500+kms

- Sledging some 15km (which left dad feeling like he'd walked 500km)

- 18 Different Hotels across some 24 cities and 12 countries (26/14 including layovers)

- 160 kgs of luggage

- 1700 + photos and videos  

- Too many churches, but so much history and learning

- Too much washing

- Endless eating

- Priceless memories!

Claire did well to summarise the trip in post cards (Keira did a lot of painting too but they might need to be added a bit later!)

















And Keira summed up the holiday in a series of watercolours... all of which we haven't yet seen...but here's the initial ones.


























And since this is a wrap up, links to all the posts & dates of the trip for simplicity.
