After the most incredible adventure & having clocked up over 6000 kilometres in our little campervan it's our last day down under before flying to India this evening.
We are all packed up now & Lee and Jamie are on there way to take back the camper, hopefully returning with our deposit!
if it seems that my blog has been too good to be true it's because this holiday has been! I could say there have been ups and downs but to be honest the only negatives I have to say aout the last 4 weeks would be that there were a lot of flies, and having not covered up enough yesterday I got a bit sunburnt (oh & nearly losing my swimming clothes in the sea!) but this can happen anywhere on any summer holiday, so in short the last few weeks have been nothing less than amazing.
I can't even say that being stuck in a 2 berth van with Lee has been hard work either, we've not had one argument and have enjoyed spending every minute together (sorry but it's true!)
It would be hard to pick a highlight as there have been so many so I will say it in photos, my favourite moments include the ones below.

I won't be doing much today apart from some final bits of packing although tonight we're going for fish & chips at Hillarys before going to the airport so looking forward to that :) The flight is around 10pm so we're aiming to be there between 7-7.30pm.
I'm feeling quite emotional about leaving Australia as it's been such an incredible experience & friends & family have been so amazing, but tomorrow we shall be landing in Delhi for a whole new (and a lot shorter) adventure so I hope you will follow this blog too.
Lees lovely brother Jamie :)
