Goodbye Mount Gambier...

In the morning I woke up and heard Sharon’s shoes pacing the hallways and thought for sure she was leaving for work, I leaped out of bed and walked towards her with a very sad face.  She wasn’t leaving and my sad face could wait a little longer.

I had toast for breakfast and tried vegemite for the first time… it was disgusting and I put Sharon’s jam on my toast instead.

I showered and packed up my things as best I could.  I took my time doing it, trying to prolong things as much as I could.  I ended up trying to help Robin with getting Wi-Fi on his laptop; I didn’t succeed and received a very large cut on the side of my foot from the table corner.  It bled quite a bit.

Soon enough I was done packing and it was time to say goodbye… Sharon and I got a little teary and I gave them both two big hugs each.  I have had such an amazing experience with them!  My trip in Australia wouldn’t have been the same without them and I am so thankful they are apart of my family.

It was bitter sweet leaving the Mount but my adventure must go on and I know that I will see Rob and Sharon again!

We left at 11 and arrived at the airport a little past 5.  Lyn and Vince made a few stops along the way to get food at Dunken and one other place near Melbourne.  I said goodbye to my two lovely new friends and headed to the hotel.

The moment I stepped into my room and dropped my bags I did the biggest happy dance ever!  My bed is huge and I have a bathroom all to myself, this is an insane luxury and it is all because of Robin and Sharon.  I unpacked everything I owned in attempt to reorganize it, I got distracted and decided to go to the gym instead.

I spent 30 minutes running and then couldn’t do anymore, my habits are going to change and now that I am out of Mount Gambier I no longer have to eat everything… not that I had to before, I just ate cause I could.  Afterwards I did some stretching and then headed back to MY room.

I ordered fruit for dinner and did some more packing before my fruit tray arrived.  Once it arrived I allowed myself to jump into the shower, I wasn’t going to be bothered starting my shower and then having to answer the door in a towel.  I took my time in the shower and after more than a week my armpits are shaved and my legs are beach ready!  I love rubbing my smooth legs together… so silky smooth!

I enjoyed my fruit platter while blasting music and dancing around my room.  Everything is now organized and I am ready for bed.  I will first watch a few episodes of Pokémon while creating a new masterpiece of henna somewhere on my body… probably my hand.

Tomorrow the last bit of my adventure in Australia will continue
