DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-NINE: Final post

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-NINE: Final post

It has been a sad day for us both having to leave this amazing country. But we are both happy having been able to have such a long time here. We have got great memories and with this blog we have it all written down for us to read when we’re both old and grey.

            Thank you to all of the 3,250 (to date) who has read this blog and followed us on our excellent trip. We have had a great time and hope you have enjoyed reading about it.

Vicki and Dave 

Back to reality.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGHT: Last day

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGHT: Last day

It’s hard to say that 158 days ago we had our first taste of Australian sun, and today is our last full day. Tomorrow we will be flying back home, neither of us are looking forward to the long flight but neither of us can complain since it has been nearly six months as opposed to a two week trip. We rounded off the day doing what we did on our first day of walking to Ruby’s for coffee and tea.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SEVEN: Lessons in pasta making

While we have been here my uncle has made homemade pasta from scratch, Vicki loving pasta has wanted a lesson in how to make it so this afternoon we were taught how to make it. It tastes so much better fresh.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY- FOUR: Wollongong cycle trip

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY- FOUR: Wollongong cycle trip

Today we decided to cycle to Wollongong with Tess it took over an hour to get there with a sleepy Tess. We had lunch at the popular sea side fish and chip shop whilst sunning ourselves on the bench. The cycle home took a little longer as everyone was tiring on the way back. A 20K cycle was enough exercise for one day. 

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE: Duct tape

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE: Duct tape

I’m sorry to disappoint you this is not a fifty shades of story. Vicki’s bag had been ripped on the way here and only just noticing with no time to get another we decided duct tape will suffice. The 40 minute walk to the shop around the corner ended with a picnic on the beach and we still haven’t actually taped the bag up.

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO: A walk to Towradgi

DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO: A walk to Towradgi 

   

Today we went on a longer walk to Towradgi beach we didn’t actually walk along the beach but on the coastal path which is a nice walk to do. Trying to enjoy our last days of the views we had to take a break as it got a little windy. The break involved a cup of tea and coffee warm us up.
