Australia Day 16-- return to USA

Since I was the first guest to pass out, I was given the bedroom upstairs with a bed all to myself. Woke up about 830. Packed up my bags and texted evin to go get out lemmingtons! An angel food cake covered in chocolate and topped with coconut :-) we hiked through an old graveyard. It was like straight from a movie. Then we picked up lemmingtons. Enough for everyone at te house. Picked up a mince meat pie as well. Turns out evin is Mel gibsons nephew. His mom his Mel's sister. Crazy small world. Returned to Evin's house and ate our lemmingtons. Watched the planes fly overhead from his balcony. And then started up a game of darts. I lost by 2 in a game of around the world. Then, it was time to start my adventure back to America. Grabbed my things, said goodbye. And headed out to the 14 minute hike to the train station.

Swapped trains and made it to the international airport checked in to find out the middle seat in my row is unoccupied and spent the last of my Australian dollars, and looked for Natalie, the friend I made on the flight down to Sydney. Swapped stories boarded the plane trying to figure out how I should spend my flight. Technically at takeoff it is 930 pm Minnesota time, so had a nightcap and going to try and sleep the night away.

Slept for the most part. Landed in la at 830 am. Made it through customs said good bye to Natalie and her friend. Stopped at a bar for bloodies and lunch before flying home to Minnesota. Kirsten picked me up and we stopped for a nightcap at northbound.

Epic trip. Epic trip.
