Back to the light

Yeah, I know it's been a while but all with good reason. We've been home for a month now and it's taken me that long to get back into the swing of things. I'm still adjusting to the light back in Brisbane - up at 5am and by midday it's so bright my eyes burn.

I have so many things to write about so expect sporadic posts here and there over the next few months about what inspired me the most of the 17 cities we visited (the thought of that still freaks me out). I continued to write every day of the trip, just not on the blog. Here's the final run down of our itinerary:

Singapore
Frankfurt
Kassel for Documenta 12
Berlin
Munich for Oktoberfest
Vienna
Budapest
Bucharest
Istanbul for Istanbul Biennale
Athens for the first Athens Biennale
Rome
Venice for Venice Biennale
Nice
Barcelona
Paris
Amsterdam
Rotterdam
Frankfurt
Singapore

...and home. Documenta and the Biennales were really inspiring but more about that later when I collate my list of visual highlights. With the weight of the exhibition catalogues the only thing I don't miss now is my beast of a backpack.
