What I've done.
I sure am gonna miss:
- having 30 over people around all the time;
- fighting 10 over girls for the shower at one time;
- having to wake up at 6am or earlier everyday;
- battling the blazing desert afternoon heat and freezing nights;
- panting and pushing myself to finish the climb/ walk;
- sleeping in a sleeping bag in a tent;
- having Derwyn call me 'cheeky' and Ron giving all of us a hard time for being slow (Derwyn and Ron being our very kind drivers who made the 6, 025km drive possible. Much love to them.);
- having the guys laugh at me for being spoilt;
- Yingyi for the encouragement and for pushing me to my limits;
- living without Internet and facebook;
- having a rockin' good time at a local (desert) pub, with beer (beer in a desert. who knew?);
- travelling in a bus for most of the day and night;
- watching oldies like Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Top Gun, Season 1 of Family Guy, The Incredibles on the tedious bus rides;
- the good friends I've made on the trip;
- watching sunsets and sunrises almost everyday;
- the plentiful star-filled night sky;
- Tuan (?) the Viet guy who always told me "Don't worry. Is okkk." His accent is tops, and he's just such a character, as is Mara, the American-Irish glue of our bus;
- and just looking at red rocks EVERYWHERE!
Home, I'm coming! And Central Oz photos will be posted later when I compile them and most possibly when I get back to Melbourne! :)
