The kids are running amok, Clare and Ed have taken to drink, everything is going wrong, arguments are rife, fuel is low, food is terrible, the van keeps breaking down and all in all it's just a terrible time. Don't ever live the dream, it's a nightmare!
That's how day 100 could've read. When we set off on this adventure, we had no idea a) how long we would last, b) if we could live in such a small space, c) whether we would like the reality, d) who would kill who first and e) if it was all just pie in the sky thinking?
As far as it goes though, only one of the above listings is true....Clare and Ed have taken to drink, but anyone who knows me (Ed) well knows that I have such a low alcohol threshold that this is not a major problem!
We could've listed 100 things done, or listed 100 amazing things. We've done 100 things, seen 100 amazing things, been to 100 amazing places, had 100 amazing experiences as a family. Let it be said though, 100 days out of a life is not long, but a valuable experience has been had in this time so far. Some good, some bad, some amazing, some dull, some expensive, some free, but a rich experience nonetheless.
Many thanks to all who have looked and commented on the blog so far. We have approximately one month now until we reach our destination in Italy for a 'different' Christmas. A piu tardi!
Ed and Clare
