Today has been a very productive day! I got up about 7ish and had some breakfast, then got straight on with finishing the advertisement for the car. I had completed it and sorted out the photos I needed for it by about 10am, then posted it straight on 'GumTree'. Having done that I looked at putting an advertisement on 'CarSales.com' which is how a lot of Aussies sell their cars, but it was $60 to advertise on there, so I thought I will only use that if it gets d...

I woke up about half 7 as everyone was getting ready for school and work, so I got up and had breakfast. My whole body is aching so much from the weekend, I think hanging off the rope swing and doing so much swimming was too much unusual exercise for my muscles to take. Either that or I am getting old at nearly 20 haha! After breakfast I wrote my blog from the weekend which seemed to take ages, then started sorting out my car. First I took everything out, and t...

They all seemed happy and well which is great, but they did look very pale. While I was talking to them the Gaunt fami...

It's the first time since I left that I actually managed to sleep the whole night through without waking up. However I was then rudely awakened about 7am by Fenella and Cecily - they thought it would be just hilarious to smack me round the head with pillows! They had been in and out numerous times apparently and thought I was just dozing, when ...

So today was my last day at Spot X, more than likely for ever. Considering I have spent over 3 months of my 9 months in Australia at that place, I will always regard it as pretty special. Some of the friends I have made there I will probably keep in contact with, to some extent, for the rest of my life. I have met people there from all round the world, but due to the number of Europeans the chances of meeting up to to on trips or to surf is pretty high! I woke u...
