Just one pic each!!!!!!

We set ourselves a challenge, we are each to choose just one pic from our 9 month Edventure and say something about it…it’s gonna be a challenge…

By Colette

It’s impossible to choose just one picture that’s sums up our trip, so I’ve gone for this one. It was our first days in Sri Lanka, back in December 2017, we were jet lagged, pasty white, short dark hair and a lot slimmer. We were tired and dazed but ready for our Edventure. This was taken in the back of a tuck tuck, holding on for dear life, zooming through the streets of Colombo in 33* heat having only just left England which was about 7* cold. We had no idea of the journey ahead but we were happy to be on our very special trip of a lifetime.

Same here, how do you boil it down to 1? Do you pick a place, a scene, a moment or activity? Who should it include if anyone? And is it ok to leave somebody out. Well yes, if it’s yourself I suppose. Someone had to take it after all. This was the afternoon before our hike down into the Grand Canyfon. We did it!

Our nine month world trip has been an amazing trip but this is the best view – from Iguazu Falls in Brazil.
I’m looking forward to getting home and seeing you all.

My caption for my picture is going to start with a phrase from the Greatest Showman:
“Mountains and valleys, and all that will come in between, desert and ocean, you pull me inland together we’re lost in a dream. High in the sky we can see the whole world down below us, never sure will you catch me if I should fall? It’s all an adventure that comes with a breathtaking look, walking a tightrope, with you oo oo oo oo”
I first saw the Greatest Showman with mummy on an 11 hour flight, since then I have watched it about 16/ times, and I have practiced my favourite songs over and over again, my favorite songs are:
The Other Side
Rewrite The Stars
This Is Me
And A Million Dreams !
For me this phrase shows how much time we have spent together, and how we now see that we all, should do it more often. I’ve really enjoyed this journey that I have taken with my family and I really appreciate it, but now I am ready to come home and see you all, I’m looking forward to going back to school as well!

 

Grand Canyon

This small but significant portion of our trip was a huge milestone for us. It was a year ago when we started to plan our attack on the Grand Canyon, we’ve researched it to within an inch of its life, we’ve looked at pictures with the kids, we’ve compared previous hikes in different countries to the trails of the Grand Canyon so the kids can get an idea of the task ahead.
