Regressia…

.

I’m not cut out for this. “You can do this, you’ll pull through…” I keep reharsing while declaring my dorm room a natural disaster area. I’m stuck with 3 Kiwi kids on a working holiday that have been in that room for a month and a half with their stuff hanging all over the place, everything stinks with the smell of cheap (Brut?) aftershave blended with what seems like an aftermatch of a smoke (yeah, that kind). The safes are occupied with condoms, some ‘out of the box’ and the shower is overcrowded with their stuff. And this is with the cleanest newest backpackers place, so the only alternative is a 70A$ single in a hotel. Sucks. This all might have been fun back in England 4 years ago, but I’m too old and too spoiled for this crap. I need to get outta here…

The day out tour in Moreton Island was absolutely fab. A great summary to the Aussie experience - sliding down the huge sand dunes, watching sea turtles-dolphins and whales and taking a swim in the best beach I’ve been to yet.

Overall - I had a good time with my dad and I’m grateful that we had a chance to do this together. We might not have a chance for anything like that again (you know - getting married, having kids and finding a good job would take up my time ;).
