6 weeks in Europe: The start of our adventure
As we've now come to the end of our European leg we thought it was a good time to reflect on what we've covered so far. So these are just a list of some of our favourite places/things, more as a reminder to us than as an interesting blog entry but this just seemed a good place to store/record it!
P.S. We have individual ratings in some categories as we couldn't always agree, also these are in no particular order as that would be really difficult!

So that's our European leg done!
After what will be a pretty hectic start in Asia, we will be slowing down a touch so we expect our blog entries to become less frequent - it would still be good to hear from you all via the message board or email though!
