The World At your Fingertips |
We did a 1 year RTW trip starting 30th April 2006 finishing 1st May 2007. We called it our "Gap" year : ). Lisa mostly wrote the journal while David selected and edited pictures for our site. We concentrated on Europe and a bit of Nth America for this trip. Asia is close enough to home to go to on holidays and Africa and Sth America will have to wait. So much to see!
