Welcome home! And wow, what a trip…So glad you made it home safely – the Bahamas was a fantastic idea, just what you needed before coming back to the rain!
Hope you’re settling back in okay.. I (Alex) have been back from Delhi for about a month now – it’s still a bit weird, but I’m still enjoying drinking water out of the tap!
We were really glad to be able to help in a very small way. It was great to meet the 3 of you, and your travels have given us some inspiration for future trips.. We’re home for now, though, so if you’re every around this way (the West Country) do let us know, and pop in for a cider! 01761 239068/ 07530 544703.
All the best, Alex & Simon

To say the least, Steve and Phil, you’ll had an interesting trip and I have enjoyed your great blog. Your paths crossed a Parisian in Key West that I met in Morgan City last week…if you’ll remember he was also on a BWM. An interesting guy, Pierre, and he stayed with my daughter and son-in-law in Layayette. He has an interesting blog that I could send you to if you’ll desire. Chip(fhmetz@cox.net)
Hi Steve, Great trip, glad to see your safe return.Our Euro trip in June will be an anticlimax after that. David
