... incredible!<br><br><br><br> We have had the most amazing 6 weeks. It&#8217;s been an incredible trip. We&#8217;ve enjoyed writing these for all of you back home. As you might have been able to tell we often trade off writing or add to things the other wrote, and we hope you&#8217;ve enjoyed hearing about our trip. We&#8217;ve missed everyone and are looking forward to coming home and seeing all of you (though not going back to work!). <br> Love, Tim &amp; Katie<br>
