Day 20 - The Last Post

Woke this morning about 7am - slept on the lounge at 'Rina's place. Very comfortable.

Both dogs are having the time of their lives. The house is the best of both worlds with the city-farm feel and the suburban proximity.

'Rina's fallout bunker, garden, local wildlife and her preserving skills means that she prepared in the case of the inevitable Zombie War - only thing missing is the independent water and power supplies.

The property is very spacious and once again the see the preoccupation with keeping the lawns manicured. 'Rina has two ride on mowers and a push mower to assist with this process.

Mole City

As with all properties that I've seen over here, the moles are an incredible nuisance. They do keep the soil aerated well though.

Only an hour or so to go before leaving for the airport. I know that the flight will be long an uncomfortable bit it can't come soon enough for me. So waiting to get home once more.

All four of us squeezed into the stealth with the luggage and made it to the airport alive (Tim was driving)

Managed to get on the earlier flight and scored a front seat in economy so no squeeze legs. Tim was not so lucky. Also scored with an aisle seat on the way home so double bonus. On my way back to my family - woo-hoo and Yeee-haaaw!

All in all, a great trip.

Catching up with great family and friends in Sydney (so comfortable just chatting about nothing for hours), meeting new people in America (the weird and wonderful friends and neighbours of Clare), changes of culture and foods and sights. A trip to New York and a nice long rest. Good times!
