Long awaited pics

First off, sorry for not posting these sooner.  We've had a run of hotels without internet access, so we're currently sitting in a Bagel cafe in Amsterdam (and yes, it's just a NORMAL cafe) doing a quick photo upload.

Today is our last day of our first tour, as tomorrow we head back to London, ready to fly to Berlin in a couple of days to begin our second tour.

I won't say too much about the last couple of days, I'll keep them for the next post. For now, I'll just post the photos that should have accompanied the last post.  Sorry that they're all out of order - it's just too difficult at the moment to do them all in the right order.

Thanks for taking care of everything while we're away, everyone.  Won't be too much longer and we'll be home.

Love Caitie and John

The photos are great. Looks like your having a pretty good run with the weather. If you come across anymore snow, can you email to your mother.

Looking forward to reading more about your adventures. Love you both. Dad & Mum

The photos are great and we got your postcard. The Wedding was wonderful and everyone had a good time. Nate did his usual scream just as the bride walked in but was quickly taken out of the church.Gerry and I now have colds due to the stupid weather in Brisbane. Love Linda and Gerry
