Our last day. Today, when we get out of the car, we will be home.
We had bacon and eggs for breakfast, then packed up the car for the last time. We left Wandoan at 10am, paused briefly in Miles for fuel and arrived home at 1.45pm.
All the road between Miles and home is familiar, and there was a mix of excitement and dread as we passed each familiar landmark. We have had such a grand adventure, and really loved being on the road and (surprisingly) loved spending every day together. None of us are overly keen to go back to regular life. Oh sure, I am looking forward to having a proper kitchen, and being able to do a load of washing without having to scrounge up a tower of $1 coins. We are all looking forward to catching up with our friends, and sleeping in our own beds, and having a few more clothing choices. Not so much looking forward to returning to work, and school, and it is with some trepidation that I realise that when we get home, I begin my own study at university.
10369km, 29 days on the road and still we want more. It has been a fun ride, and we are already dreaming about our next trip. The travel bug has bitten us hard.
Thanks Sami...that was a great read! Travel is an education and it is the best thing you can do for your kids! They learn more in a real life situation and will have lots of happy memories ...
