Elsa's backpacking around Europe.She's been gone three weeks and we spoke to her on the phone tonight. She's just arrived in Florence and so far it's her favourite city of all. Funny, it was mine too.
I say she's backpacking but technically she's not. Her pack went missing on a flight from Edinburgh to Marseille over a week ago so she's travelling pretty light...in fact she has no backpack at all.
'We're having the best time,' she told me, 'and it's great mum, so much easier to travel without any stuff!'.
Interesting isn't it? We gather so many possessions - most we could manage without. It's often not until we've lost them that we even notice how easy it is to travel lightly in life.

I plan on taking hand luggage only to the U.K for this very reason....
Enjoying NZ and bought a car today so feeling happy!
Thanks
what a great shot, kate. i took one look and was instantly transported to my first independant trip overseas - twenty years later and i can recall it like it was yesterday. it was life changing. as far as luggage goes, i am a massive fan of trying to get everything into a carry on case and still being stylish! x
very true...
best wishes
Ribbon also in Australia :-)
She's beautiful just like her Mama.
How fun and exciting and what a way to live a wonderful life.
xoxoxo
Elsa looks gorgeous, the backdrop beautiful and how fantastic to be travelling with hand luggage only! And wonderful to "have" to go shopping to replace her missing wardrobe..in Florence too!
don't we all envy the ability and chance to travel light and free?
she's a doll, kate.
:)
