We made it home about an hour earlier than expected and had no issues at customs. It helps travelling with carry-on only since you do not have to wait the hour to finally see your luggage.
Looking back at the trip, we sure did a lot and also learned an interesting fact …
What can be counted?
- 22 Nights away
- 19 Cities and Towns
- 56 Transports, which includes the normal like planes, trains and buses, and also a golf cart and a gondola.
- 355,404 Steps, which average to 16,924 per day
- 150 Miles walked, average of 7.14 per day
- 4,625 Photos kept (more were taken!)
What can NOT be counted?
- New experiences in new places
- All the food and drinks. It was a ‘Culinary Journey’ after all!
- Meeting new people and making new friends
- Best of all, celebrating a birthday with friends old and new from all over.
More interesting, what did we learn?
We ate and drank from Italy through the south of France all the way to Spain. All these countries are on the Mediterranean Sea.
Conclusion we got to after we got on the scale at home:
THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET DOES NOT WORK!
(At some point in the trip, even my phone’s Face-ID stopped recognizing me!)
Thank you to each and everyone that made this such a great celebration trip.
“Live the life you’ll always remember!”
