Here is our full planned itinerary (see the flights in the next blog entry) so you can book your hols to join us at some point. It will also (hopefully) prevent us from boring you at every given opportunity with our plans (although this is assuming that you have actually got to this second journal entry rather than delete all references to us out of jealousy or boredom)
