I think this will be my final blog of this trip. I may do one when I get home but I think it unlikely, the depression of the trip being over will be all too great to bare!!!

Not really done much the last few days. I spent Saturday afternoon and evening in bars on Bondi Beach with some friends. It wasn't a heavy duty session, just something of a beer drinking marathon... no real tales to tell as it was something of a chill out after the carnage of the night before.

On Sunday a few of us spent the afternoon chilling on Manly beach and trying to take advantage of every last ray of sunshine before I go home. In the evening we headed to Bronte Beach for a few beers at a beach party but again I didn't get trashed.

Today I've been flying solo. Done some tourist things like walked around the opera house, across the harbour bridge... started to do some Christmas shopping but I couldn't face it and have postponed this until Christmas Eve when I land in London! That is going to be fun...

Tonight is PROBABLY (you can never say definitely) be another quiet one. I want my batteries full charged for tomorrow night which is my last night on tour... it could get messy!!!! :)

Well, what else to say? When I think back to the experiences on this trip and the people I have met it has been the best thing I ever decided to do. I haven't loved every minute but almost. Only problem is I've now caught the travelling bug... due back in work on 4 January... I want to travel more so I have some thinking to do...

Merry Christmas!!
