Day 348:
Today marks the end of my 25 day long trip around Australia. In the midst of a eight hour drive back to Melbourne from Adelaide now as I approach the very final chapter of my Melbourne life.
Things have gotten better since Perth, heading back down to Gold Coast was great, had a great yolo day out to the dam and the creeks, did more water training than land, which proved to be great for my ankle.
It was only until I got to Townsville when I finally did some training again. My ankle isn't fully healed but managed to do some stuff that surprised me to be honest, including this 16ft stride over the fountain. Had an amazing time in Townsville, great sceneries just around town, did two waterfalls, also did a climb mission up the waterfalls only to get trapped and had a Storror moment, but got down safe by the end of the day. Pretty intense but lol
Natlaide was amazing because training with the gang is always great. I busted out some of the best jumps in the trip at Bounce, which pretty much made me too sore to train the next few days. It was also bloody hot on some days and my ankle was sore again from all the impacts and stuff as it wasn't fully healed yet anyway.
It was the right choice to end the trip at Natlaide where I felt I had the most fun at tbh. I wish I was less injured, which I still had my hard drive so I wouldn't have been so down the whole time, but catching up with the folks one last time before leaving Australia is definitely great and I guess I have to go back to real life and settle some shit before I leave.
Surprisingly my swimming streak went on for longer than expected, and it came to an end today. 24 days! Almost made it to a month. But hey, that's something I'm really proud of.
So what should I do in the next 2 weeks?
I plan to work and earn back at least a few hundreds to make up for all the money I spent during the travels. At least for the first week, which I feel I need the rest anyway before going back to clear my parkour goals around Melbourne.
Gotta sell my bike, my lens, my fridge and misc stuff, return my equipments. Pack my luggage to get ready for home, by 6th of Feb as I'm not welcomed any longer it seems at Fitzroy. Might move to somewhere to stay. Do some househopping and enjoy life for a bit. Have some crazy house parties and tea parties. Might do one last performance with Melb Utd altho I'm not sure how well I'll do. Get money from the DVDs and Hatta. Do one or two more road trips. Go to the beach and suntan some more.
