WOW, after that story, I want to go to your cottage!
What a huge education it would be for a girl from Australia and I think a lot of entertainment too!
Imagine being in a physical environment like you were on Holidays there to be able to swap money with everyone else, so cool and really such an adult think to do, even though you were kids!
So was there much of a difference in the value of each currency back then?
Did your parents freak out?
Oph I can't wait to see what else comes out of your cottage! 😃
I think as an Australian that grew up in a very small country town, it's so weird to think that living in Europe, especially back then, you are sooo close to so many other countries and are able to have such amazing experiences so close to home and we got stuck in that country own and maybe once or twice a year got to go the city for a day or 2...woohoo...
Obviously now it's a bit different and the world is much more accessible..but back then especially in the 70's and even the 80's...you know what I mean?
You lucky Europeans!
Infact even now, @ph1102 just invited me to Croatia in September for Hivefest https://hivefe.st/ and I would LOVE to go, so I just checked out the cost of an airfare and the cheapest one way with 3 stops is $1400 AUD...I might have to sell a kidney on the blackmarket first....🤣...😭...
