Family of 7 doing the lap in a bus
Permalink  

There is a family of seven doing the lap, in a converted coach

Basically the Mum of the family had a life threatening illness, with a 10% chance of living

The mum is now nearly recovered, and enjoying a second chance at life

I say good on them, and wish them all the best on their travels

What a great story - so many families are travelling with children these days - and nearly all of them I've met have been well behaved, polite and respectful - and lots of fun!

At first I thought I had met that family but after reading that great blog realised I hadn't. I have met a family of same size and ages and found the kids respectful and I might add, very knowledgable for their ages. IMO it's a great way of learning. I spent a few hours with them and them me. A great week. 

Good on 'em.

Im glad the Mum made a full recovery.

There is a family with eleven kids living on the road fulltime. Google holiday road, they have some fantastic photos on their facebook page.
