And also the final day on my international trip, 100 and 7 days around the world,
I cannot actually believe it. Feels like only yesterday I left the Leopard to go on this year long “trip”, starting with a walk, then this international section and here we are… international section done. I don’t know how I feel today. In a sense I am still recovering from yesterday, trying to make sense of what the hell is going on inside me and my head. The Hamster hasn’t been overwhelmed in a long while, so it feels a little surreal experiencing it now. I packed some bags, updated my blog and completed some last minute computer related tasks for my family. Said goodbye to one or two more people in Ceres and returned all my empty Coke bottles to avoid hindering mom.
Done… that is honestly what it feels like – “klaar en verby” (finished and over). I also received an update from the shipping company today and the timeline for the car is looking better again, with the expected shipping date out of Cape Town set for the 4th of November and that RSA customs have cleared the shipment and its contents for export. Sounds like great news to be honest.
In the background I have been planning (just a little) on my NZ stuff, meeting up with what feels like old friends and planning an outing or two once I am back. Visiting my barber and preparing for the arrival of my brother-in-law and his partner. I also need to start looking for a job opportunity and most important of all, start planning my return to the TA trail. Really not looking forward to the journey back to NZ, but only because of the long-haul flights and countless transfers… not the fact that I am going home, my home. Bye-bye to my home away from home.

How this year has actually gone by so fast! WOW!
Feels like I started reading your blog just a few days ago – surreal!
The Hamster will get sorted –
a lot to take in over the past 3 months – and now it is like you stated “klaar en verby” (finished and over) -overwhelmed you will be ..
The TA trail is definitely calling you to finish what and where you started with this year ‘-)
Awesome news on the shipping!!! WHOOP
ps – was the return of the empty Coke bottles – part of the 6 that came from my house – hehe
Jip, hierdie is post nommer 293… amper by 300 dae van posts.
Oor die TA, ja, die ding is besig om my terug te roep. Moer seriously weer op die trail kom.
Nee, het die coke bottles van jou plek al lankal terug gegee, hierdie is nuwes.
