Just took my first ever ‘domestic’ flight (Newark to SF). So wild to be able to just walk straight off the plane and out of the building - no passport or customs stuff.
Which would have made more difference if I didn’t have checked luggage

I kid you not, for our penultimate stay of the trip - we’ve rented part of a castle in Germany!
(If you zoom in you can see us in the balcony.)

Same spot in Austria at sunset, 7 years apart, almost to the day.
We’re heading towards the final leg of this wonderful roadtrip, and feeling incredibly proud of the amazing young adults that Jack and Zoe have become, and extremely privileged that we’ve got to share this journey with them

Waking up to wonderful Austria - and what I think is my favourite place in the world. It was the highlight of our 2018 trip, and still lives up to the memories.

This has been an epic place to stay, way up on the mountainside with cracking views over Lake Garda

Italy is an interesting mix of extremes
This morning: registering for the ‘tollgate-free toll roads’ which were only sign posted once already on it… and requires passport uploads etc
Also this morning: eating fresh figs from the tree while looking out over this stunning vineyard filled landscape

We live about 30 miles south of Silverstone. Sitting in the garden room watching the #F1 race is adding a visceral additional dimension.
One minute I’m drying the SUPs in glorious sun, then next it’s hoofing it down and I’m scrambling to bring everything and and to close up
