Eldest on a big adventure

Postby Diflower » 08 Jun 2016, 18:06

Bb's eldest has managed to pack a lot into each of his summer breaks from uni, especially considering he works as well :D
The year before last, he and a group of mates went to four different music festivals around Europe, camping 3 or 4 days in each place so as to see more than just the music.
Last year he and then g/f did a west-east tour of Europe by train, 8 countries in I think 3 weeks.
We had both boys here last night; it's their birthdays in June but it was eldest's only free night till September :D
He's finished uni for the year but is back to Brighton today as he has to work.

This year, the family - he, brother, mum and s/dad- are going to the US on holiday (we think s/dad is celebrating retiring), and return on June 30th.
On July 1st he flies to Taiwan, to do this: https://db1x.sinica.edu.tw/tigpSummer/pageProgram.php
They only take 30 students a year, and he's in :Hi:
So looking forward to seeing pics and updates :D
