One month around Europe with an 11 year old

What a brilliant trip. I've had the kids on the back of the bike for days out, but I'm inspired now. Great bonding opportunity, and as you say, memories to last a lifetime. Thanks for sharing.

A perfect report there Ian - Skyenet.

Excellent, so many places and so little time. Some I have visited myself, others are on my list.

What bikes are built for

I just love the way this repot has been done, its so different and the fact you took your daughter with you makes it all the more special ....

THanks for sharing Skyenet, what a great way to spend some quality time with your little girl.

Thanks to everybody for their comments Makes all the effort that went into the presentation even more worthwhile. Hoping to get it printed out as a booklet similar to those Photobooks you can get.

A few weeks ago our friends that we stayed with in Switzerland were over visiting Scotland so it was nice to have the opportunity to be able to return some of the hospitality that they showed us.

Skye has now settled in to High School life and she is so busy with all her new friends that I don't get as much quality time with her now. So I am glad that we did the trip when we did and it is certainly something we talk about a lot. She still goes out on the bike and loves getting a run to or from school when I can manage it.

Wonder where we will end up next year

would love to do something similar but would have to do it 3 times as each daughter would want to go

I just love the way this repot has been done

Me too, it's made me think about how I should put a report together, the bar has been raised

Thanks for all the feedback folks

Just used iPhoto 11 to produce a slideshow of our trip, integrated with google maps.
