Preparing to leave Oz…

So here we are on our last proper day in Australia. I say proper because the next three days will be mainly spent doing the 14 hour drive back to Sydney ready for our flight on Saturday, and today was the last day in which we had a full day and the opportunity to do things.

The time here in Noosa has gone very quickly. I know obviously that time doesn’t speed up or slow down but sometimes it seems crazy that time is one of the few constants in the world. No matter what happens, time keeps marching on a the same rate. I suppose that‘s kind of comforting when you think about everything you have to look forward to in the future. But on the other hand, that clock which is ticking away the days till I have to return to work needs a punch in the face.

Anyway, today we decided to make say our final farewell’s to the places in Noosa which have made our stay memorable - so we went to the beach, we went to Lake Weyba for the afternoon and we also took a trip to the school playing field where we have spent a considerable amount of time training this week (it has a grass track and plenty of shade for core exercises). It was for yet another training session though so we are not completely sad.

Now that the final few days are upon us, and those days are likely to be of the less exciting sitting in a car variety, we are now both really looking forward to going to the states. It seems very close now. I’m also looking forward to finding out which films we can watch on the plane, and the strong possibility of journey sweets….we’ll have to wait and see….
