When we unpacked, I realised just how well we adhered to the souvenir policy. I have virtually nothing, by past standards. at least.
We purchased one nice Delft plate, to sit on the cedar chest in our room, with the Murano piece.
We need to frame the one scene of Prague we found on the bridge to the Old City.
I have a heart-shaped amber pendent on a silver chain.
At a market, I snapped up a second hand book: My Dear Cassandra - the Illustrated Letters of Jane Austen.
Woodsie has his hilarious Babushka dolls of Geelong AFL players, a Scottish rugby top and a few tee-shirts.
So photos and memories are what mainly we have from our trip. Tomorrow I will present a list of our favourite experiences that we most enjoyed.
Nothing beats the wonderful memories. Unlike a lot of things that seem like a good idea at the time, just become 'stuff' as you said. Memories are 'wonderful stuff' that are in your mind for all time and not put into cupboards and forgotten. What things you did purchase though are special and mean something.....even the Geelong Babushka dolls. Looking forward to tomorrows Blog. Hope you are no longer sleep deprived and back into the swing of things. You have 3 years to work up to another big trip for your big birthday. xx
ReplyDeleteSleep patterns still not settled. Woke at 2.30 am. Up for a few hours, then back to try again. Feel like I am moving underwater by late afternoons, especially as my ears still not cleared and sound so buzzy!
