Last night was such an epic end to the tour. I was so emotionally high throughout the night, but then you hit such a low, afterwards. It’s a rollercoaster for sure! It was our latest night yet, but that, coupled with emotions, I am totally drained today! I woke up a few times, just to drink water, and turn over in bed. I didn’t wake up properly until about 10:30! My first thoughts went out to Bernard; he was up, and out for work at the crack of dawn this morning! I got showered, and got dressed. Then I spent a while sorting out clothes for today, clothes and bits for the vicious cycle class, and clothes for afterwards. That simple task practically scrambled my brain! I ate a banana, and a cereal bar, just to ... read more

Today started a little later than the days before. When I woke at about 8:45, my thoughts went straight to my legs. After yesterday’s exercise, I was dubious how they would feel today! I put my feet to the floor, I was pleasantly surprised! I can actually feel them! I started my day by doing a few bedside stretches, before I attempted walking… ha ha. Honestly, I’m way better than I had anticipated, but the stretches help! We do such a lot each day, I think it’s catching us up. We were both expecting to be hobbling today, especially after yesterday’s wobbling!!! But we both seem better than we had expected to! We have discussed the options for today, we think it could be a walk with a beach. Our main aim is to get home ... read more

A good start to the day. It was a natural wake up, in a very comfy bed! I walked into the living room to find Bernard chilling on his double blow up bed. He said he’d also had a comfy night, with his downgrade! We started the day with a catch up chat, then agreed on eggs with toast for brekky. This also came with a banana, coffee, and all sorts of protein stuff to kick start our day. It was nice. I enjoyed brekky today. We spent a while, getting our stuff together for the day ahead. We are going on a short train journey, then a bus journey, which will take us to Coogee, which is where our walk will start. We hit perfect timing today, we hit the train with a 3 minute ... read more

I woke by the alarm today. It was a difficult job to wake up today! Normally, I wrote my blog on the move, mostly during, or straight after the events that occur. Yesterday, that didn’t happen. I was simply too engaged in what I was doing. In order to blog. This was mainly because there was no, ‘bus time’, and my phone died after unsuccessfully attempting to video the dolphins! So last night I spent a couple of hours writing the blog, retrospectively writing the blog, then labelling all the photos. People often say to me, not to stress about missing a day, but it is important for me to record my days, because I make my blog into a book for me to remember my travels well. As they are detailed of events, thoughts, and ... read more

Another easy start today. I set the alarm for 7:20, as Angelika and I were up late chatting… and I’m feeling so tired. I can’t believe that I’m on day 35 already!!! My case is a mess, but it’s closed, and ready to go. I was showered, and ready to go by 7:50. I took my stuff round to Angelika and Timo’s place. Today is Lyndsey’s 53rd birthday. We ate congregating to give her a cake, card, little gift and little cake. We all arrived, lit the candle, then sent her a text to come to number 2 house. She came round, probably expecting we had a problem, we all sang happy birthday, gave her the bits. She seemed happy with the effort we had made for her. I guess it’s hard when you’re on your, ... read more
