2007 is now upon us big time! Nearly three years since leaving New Zealand and time certainly does fly. Many more sights and sounds to experience, work experience to gain and friends to make!

We just never know how much longer we will be over here, but one thing is for sure - we will continue to get the airmiles up and keep sampling european life!!

Another year in the UK and still having fun. Can't be a bad thing! The only downfall is missing family and friends. Was great to see my Mum and Dad in May and many of you on your travels around the UK at the start and end of 2005. Though Chester is in the North West it was great that most of you ventured out of London and into the sticks! :o)

A brief description of our travels in the European Summer 05!

Jens parents arrive in United Kingdom to be shown around by the 'NZCUK Travel Board inc.' The ventures aiming to travel to old and new places for us as well.

This is the boring bit of the trip travel-wise. We are settling down a bit to work for a while, to save for our next adventure. We will keep you up to date with what we are doing and the day-trips and weekends we spend out and about. Who knows though, if we don't find the right vocation, we might be travelling a bit more and work later on. Guess that's the joy of it all - no restraints, but heaps of fun!

This journal will hopefully detail our successful quest around Western Europe.... Our plan is to hit Belgium first, then up through the Netherlands before venturing east through Germany. From there the plan is to visit Austria and then sample the fine dining and cuisine in Switzerland. Then comes hopefully the sunny, relaxing part of the tour, with Italy, Spain and France pouring on fine weather, great hospitality and cold alcohol on tap! Dreams are free, but hey.....we will soon reveal all!

The journey begins, across vast seas and mountains, through freezing snows and scorching deserts, to a cold and distant land....can a shy kiwi girl and her faithful sidekick survive?? The story continues...
