Our 3 days in LA can be summed up in a single activity: shopping. And you don’t take photos of shopping. So, instead of giving you an LA-related blog with a naff title such as “freeways, silicon and sunset tans”, we thought we’d give you our thoughts on what we consider to be the highlights of our 2007 world tour.
So - after 4 ½ months, 17 countries, 47 different beds, 12 different languages (spoken at us not by us!), 44 flights, 7 hire cars, 3100 metres climbed, 19 novels, 72 episodes of Desperate Housewives and a constant awe at the world God created (how much better will heaven be?!) - our backpacking (ok, ok,“flashpacking”) tour has come to an end. And here’s what was, for us, the best of the best:
(NB. we decided to include Morocco in our line-up, as it was supposed to be part of this trip only we got so tired of the London drizzle we went at Easter)
