Bye Bye Tasmania… :-(

After a wonderful 3 month stay in Tasmania, the day finally arrived to bid farewell to our wonderful family, friends and favourite haunts, and swing our backpacks on for the next leg of our journey. The sting of the goodbyes was dulled to some extent by the anticipation of the pending adventure. Never-the-less, the last few days of our three month visit seemed to flash by and Mum and I finally had to maintain our composure as we shared our last hug before setting off for the airport.

For months I'd bragged of my intention to travel with a backpack weighing no more than 10 kilos, with no real idea if that would be possible. When everything was finally packed I was thrilled to be able to pick the bag up with my little finger, but still not certain about its weight. The moment of truth arrived when we set the packs down on the airport scale. Exactly 10 kilos each! :-)

10 kilo bag for 6 weeks travel.
Last exit to …?
