Sitting in Sydney airport 'waiting area'.
By now we have sold our car and have semi-successfully gotten rid of all of our stuff. It is not the easiest of tasks to suddenly reduce a car full of stuf to two bags that we would be able to carry but that would still contain everything we need for living. I have gone through my bag three times (after having already decided that I had gotten rid of enough things) to throw away even more things to make it lighter.
In one of the ceremonies that we had of burning our clothes (only a bit after I had posted a picture of it on facebook) Erik suddenly discovered that he could not find his phone. You can guess what happens if you don't check your pockets before burning your jacket. So a lot (most) of our cotton-picking pictures were destroyed.
We replaced the laptops with better camping stuff and since now we are ok to sleep outside down to zero degrees and don't need car access, decided to save money and camp semi-illegally near a Sydney suburb in a valley.
I am not exactly sure about will happen to my blog since now we don't have constant access to a computer but surely I will find a way to get something uploaded occasionally.
The year here has been a big learning experience, of different industries, skills and customs but mostly about ourselves. We have met some great people and had good times. So thans to all for making our second trip to Australia so much more than the first one could ever be.
New continent, new people, new adventures, new problems, embracing being planless and not being driven by a constant need to find a new job. The second year away from home begins.
