As I returned back from Thailand, I stayed with a family to help nanny while the mom was away. Each day I woke up at 7am, sent the kids off to school, went back to bed and then would go into the city for the gym, be back at 3pm for the kids, and hang out. It was pretty easy and just hung out. Then I went off to Brisbane to visit Helen, my bestest friend I met last summer in Greece.
She worked during the days so I would wake up, work out, walk around town and then watched some English sitcoms which were great. We had so much together hanging out, going out, and mucking around. SHOUT OUT to my bffaeae and her friends that all read this!! On Sunday, we went to a Greek Festival where we indulged in Haluomi (grilled cheese), salads, and yummy-ness. ALI, they even had Mythos!
To break up the week, I went to Byron Bay. A small beach town that reminded me of Bethany. Ali had stayed there so she put me in touch with some mates. However, I also had plans to meet up with Katies Babus and Sam Levy. Two girls from growing up that I had been acquaintances to but felt instantly close to when I saw. Katie has been living in Cairns and we have stayed in touch for the past few months through skype and facebook and planned to try and see one another. I had such a great time with them and felt like we had stayed in touch forever. It was SO great seeing familiar faces and Sam was preparing me for home and trying to make me feel a little better. (she took a month off to visit Katie and travel). The next day they left after we walked to the Light House. I hung out with Ali’s friends after drinking a half a box of Goon…
I got back to Brisbane and then left the following day for Sydney. I got back and could not believe the end was in sight. I had a breakdown while packing and listening to Kings Of Leon. I really can not fathom home life…
The past 2 days and the rest of the weekend, I am just catching up with friends, having coffees, drinks, dinners and brunches to say my goodbyes.
On a side note, I read Eat Pray Love and am now reading a book by Bill Bryson. Both authors writing about their adventures in other countries… ive been inspired and REALLY think I could write a book.
K so on that note… this is the end… but it is just the beginning. WHO KNOWS what will happen over the next few days, weeks, and months. I am taking one day at a time (and I hope you all understand that… so I DO NOT have the answers to “what are you doing? Where are you living? Etc”) Thank you for your love and support and I will submit another post once I return safe and sound with about 60 kilos of crap!!!
CHEERS
