Planning for 2023 completed

As the end of this year ends, we are already thinking of the next. In the middle of that year, my sister takes her retirement and from then we'll be free to travel whenever we like, without having to take account of the school holidays.

We've lined up a bunch of trips. Now that corona is not a problem anymore, travelling has become easier (although more expensive, especially air travel). In February we are going to Iceland. We love cold and ice, and hope to see the northern lights this time. Last year in Tromso, we were not so lucky. In April there will be a two week trip to Egypt. We will visit several places there, and will see a lot of antiquities. In May a shorter trip to the Netherlands (Den Haag) will follow, as well as a city trip to London. In July comes a trip to Albania, a country that is little known but is worth exploring. In August follows another short trip to the Netherlands, to Rotterdam. And than in September, we'll make a trip to Morocco. Finally, at the end of October, we'll do the trip we've dreamed about for ages (and never expected it to become true): we go to Australia. We plan to see all the territories and will probably stay away for quite some time. We have more or less gathered info on hotels, things to do, excursions to make and which airline offers the best connections. We'll be flying around quite a bit, starting from Brussels to Perth. 

2023 will be a pretty exciting year. And the next one, hopefully, as well. We already start at the beginning of it with a trip to South America, from where we begin a two week cruise to the South Pole. And most likely we'll be visiting the southern part of the US later that year. The rest still needs to be decided...
