STA Explorers Neil and Meg return…
STA Explorers Neil and Meg (or, as you and I have come to know them, The Travelling Duo) have travelled their way back to whence they came, Hampshire.
Through their blog, Neil and Meg’s World Travels, they’ve treated us to varied delights and, judging by the content of Neil’s last post, may be dishing out even more, with plans for a soirée across Europe, a skiing trip and Arctic/Antarctic cruise!
The final post sees Neil debating a poser from a friend, who asked what the worst part of the trip had been, (as opposed to the best, which was a question they were concerned Neil would have responded to a-plenty since his return). He was unable to answer, good memories blocking out anything that might have been less pleasurable. Instead, he offers a choice of two highlights from the trip:
“The best thing on the trip was either standing on top of Sydney Harbour Bridge at sunset or watching the dramatic colour changing light show of Uluru at sunrise (better than sunset!). The worst thing about the trip: I still can’t think of one!!”
He even has time to give a nod to STA’s Matt, making the the experience a joy even before leaving:
“The excellent STA Travel agent, Matt, in Kingston who was so helpful giving us advice, recommendations, ideas and not rushing us…”
The advice from Neil and Meg after their experience of a ‘gigantic holiday’? Everyone should do it. And if you want to know why, then rummage through the blog entries that punctuate the journey they took. You can also flick through their Picasa Album for some visual temptation that will lead you to strap on those boots that were made for walking.
