It seems to be that it’s already time for that final blog entry. I figured I would start this blog and end it as well. But before we say our final goodbyes, here’s the recap of our latest adventures. After we left Adelaide we got picked up by the desert outback patrol. Which I’m pretty sure I can say was one of the more weirdly interesting parts of the trip. The program consisted of the group + 3 German girls + 1 Dutch guy stuck on a bus for SEVEN days straight, driving from Adelaide to Alice Springs. From stopping at every bathroom ever opened in that part of the outback, to visiting a man that can tell who you are as a person by the letters in your name, to watching the sunset at the most touristy place at Uluru, and being flooded in at all main roads and being stuck with sleeping in the rain or camping out in the magical place that some call… the Landry room. I’m sure you could only imagine how excited we were to get to the Alice Springs YHA.
With never staying in one place to long we packed up our bags once again and hoped on a plane from Alice Springs to Sydney, then to Sydney to Brisbane, spent one night there then jumped on a train to Chenrezig Buddhist Monastery. It was equipped with beautiful gardens and trees, a breath taking Gompa, nice and comfy bedrooms, and the biggest spiders and other insects some of us (Me) have ever seen in our lives! We learned about the basics of the Buddhist culture, did some yoga, eat some good (vegan) meals, and went to the Steve Irwin Australia Zoo.
And last but not least (after an excruciatingly long 30 hour train ride) we arrived to the Bohemian Central hostel in Cairns and is in the process of getting Scuba certified. Everyone is thrilled (even Kara) to go Scuba diving but is even more excited to get back home to see their families.
