Round the World (68)

ROUND THE WORLD
68 - HOME AGAIN, MALTA - 21 June 2025
On the 29th November 2024 we departed Malta for Cape Town. From there we travelled east and then further east. On the 14th June 2025 we returned to Malta arriving from the west and by this completed our circumnavigation of the globe - what we have been calling ‘Round the World in 200 Days’.
Valletta and the Entrance to Grand Harbour, Malta
During our trip we travelled on sixteen different planes and, according to Mr ChatGPT, flew a total of 50,720 kilometres. To this we can add several hundred additional kilometres by car.
During our trip we slept in thirty one different beds. Three in bedrooms in homes we call our own, fifteen in hotels, one in a house we rented and the remainder, excepting a night or two on planes, in the houses of friends.

After all those different beds we’re happy to be back in our own bed, the bed in our Malta home.
Home? What does it mean ‘home’?
Being nomads, of sorts, we’re regularly asked the question ‘where is your ‘actual’ home?’
Jeremy, my husband, most often responds that home for him is where I am, where we are together, that home - maybe better ‘at home’, is about us, not primarily about a place.
Another home, without question the most precious, is the one that all of us, in our infinite shades and varieties both animal and vegetable, share and call home - our beautiful, beloved and precious planet home.
Long may our beautiful globe remain safe.
