A few weeks from the end

Thoughts of home are increasing in frequency now as we begin to nudge northwards through Germany. Maybe it's just me, but this whole adventure has, and is still superbly exciting, but there is a slight bit of reflection going on here. 

It led us to investigate some travel quotes. Some are twee in their thinking, some are thought provoking and some are just blatantly honest. 

"Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world." - Gustav Flaubert

The whole distance thing, especially when driving around Europe has made this quote especially significant. Of course, even as untravelled novices, we were completely aware of the scale of aspects of our lives, in a more global and astronomical sense, but the distances we have covered and the feeling a long way from normal life, part of it really does hammer home that we are quite insignificant blobs on this earth. 

'See you all soon' - Ed Clements 2015 

Put that in your travel quotes list now, as every departure leads to 'Hello' again at some point.
