Closing the circle

And well, everything comes to an end eventually and unfortunately our trip is no exception to that – 22nd October we bordered the Spirit of Tasmania and so began the last leg of the journey. At home we got a warm welcome in form of broken toilet, dead rat in the kitchen and one happy terrier.

To wrap it up:

166 days and 24,494 kilometres – we drove, walked, kayaked, snorkelled, cycled, waded in water, scrambled over rocks and rode on a camel and quite frankly had a blast.

And for those of you who were ever wondering what 166 days without shaving or cutting you hair can do, here is the answer:

Australia is huge country where you can have it all – beaches, rainforest, deserts, mountains, you name it. We should not take it for granted though – this home to an amazing population of plants and animals is fragile and slowly loosing it’s battle and if we don’t look after it, some places will live only in photos and memories as soon as in 20 years. And as I just went there and saw it I can honestly tell you it would be a great shame.

Thank you all who read our blog and followed our journey and special thanks to Becky for posting comments and so making us feel like someone does read it.

And of course the biggest thanks goes to our beloved Betty, who took us anywhere we wanted to go
