1 Day to go !!!!!!

Well, we can't believe that tomorrow we are finally heading off on our travels.  We talked about doing it for years, booked it way back in May it seemed a long time off, however its all about to happen.

We have had a brilliant summer with our friends:Hillwalking in Balmoral,  Cycle touring round Islay at Easter,  running the Hebridean 1/2 Marathon series (and winning the team prize), camping, laughing and running the Tour of Fife, and Mountain Biking in Dumfries.

Now its time for our next adventure: a 6 month trip touring South America, New Zealand, Australia and Africa.  We are also planning to take a little time in Tanzania to do some volunteering.

We have had a busy last week.  Last Friday a few beers catching up with friends in Edinburgh and on Wednesday we had an early Christmas run  around the Braid Hills and Hermitage with fellow CAACers (Corstorphine Amateur Athletics Club ) followed by some mince pies back at the flat.  Lots of funny looks from the residents of Morningside as we all wore Santa hats on the run.





So finally it's the night before we leave and I though it might be a good idea to go for a Steak at Los Argentinos restaurant to get us in the mood.

Speak to you all soon
