Well arrived home on Friday night 30th April, 3 months after leaving home, wow its great all those things I took for granted & will again Im sure, are such luxurys. Things like cleaning your teeth under running water, flushing the paper in the toilet, lying in a comfortable bed, its great. For 3 months I have had to put toilet paper in a bin, so when on the plane flying home I looked at the paper & thought what do I do with it, flush it or bin it, amazing how you forget these things. But Im home and Im flushing, its wonderful.

You might be aware that my trip went t*** up a little on the last few days as I put down how I really felt, wrong, but right I felt so much better for it. I had kept quite for so long as travelling with people you clash with is so hard & I just had to release how I felt. That ostriesized me, both girls never spoke to me again. If anything it was a shame with Linsey as it could have been all so different ! I have been deleted of there facebooks which is fine I only need good friends on it. So feel free to say how I feel.

My last few days in Rio where great,(although it rained ) I done as I wanted & felt free. I went to Sugar loaf mountain which was amazing & in general had a good relaxed time. Can reccomend Rio to you, if you get chance.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS

AM I GLAD I DONE IT all even though the last part of travelling was hard, Definetly YES it was an amazing experience. So much out in the world to appreciate & see. I would like to see more but if I backpack again it either has to be on my own, or with a very very good friend.

Thank you for following my journey, its been great to no you have been there giving me your support. Wonder if I could find a travel job, that would be just up my street, reporting back daily. No problem. Look forward to catching up with you all, and getting those dinners in you promised. My friends far away give me chance to recover & who knows i could be knocking you doors. Adios Amigos, ciao, Adeus, Au Revoir, & Bye from me.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
