My dearest readers

In a way
I’m glad this journey has come to an end. We have experienced it all, and
enjoyed every minute of it! But after a three-month travel, one starts to miss their
family and friends (to be honest, most of all I miss the good old spaghetti my
granny makes, so I know what the first thing will be when I get back home).
It’s weird
actually. We all try to hang on to our last moments here so badly for a few
seconds, just so that in the end it can hurt a little more to let it all go. We
have had this unbelievably amazing experience with an unbelievably amazing
group of friends. I wouldn’t have wanted this any other way, and I’m sure we
all take some amazing memories and souvenirs back home, where all of our lives
will go their own way again.

Unfortunately,
you know they say Karma’s a b*tch. Well, we got our share of karma when we
arrived at the airport. First, Els’ and my suitcase were too heavy to get on
the plane, so we had to pay extra. But, well, when your suitcase is heavy, it
means that there is a lot of stuff in the suitcase. This means that you have
bought a lot of stuff, which leads to empty wallets. Yes, my dear bloggers, we
didn’t have enough money to pay the fine. We had to go beg for money with the
other travellers in the airport (we even sang leaving on a jet plane again)
before we were able to pay the fine. This lead to an extreme delay, which
forced us to run through the airport and through security.
But karma
hit again, because Jeroen wouldn’t stop beeping through the metal detectors! He
had to strip until he only wore his underpants and socks for the security to
find out there was some sort of metal detail attached to his sock. Yes, we were
quite the party crowd over there ;-)

Fortunately
our luck started to change. Since our flight was delayed (yes yes that’s a bad
thing but wait for it) we were able to arrive at the gate in time and Annelien
found a seat next to an extremely handsome guy. Anne has limped her way to the
stewards and (once again) an extremely handsome steward is taking care of her
leg as we speak. It seems like everything is getting okay in the end, right?
So, dear
readers, the time has come to say goodbye. Goodbye to Perth, to our journey and
to the amazing experiences. And now we’re leaving on a jet plane. We don’t know
when we’ll be back again. But our next stop, that’s HOME!
Lots of
peace, love and teary goodbyes
Manderley
