Challenge Completed!

We did it!

For those who are interested, my first purchase was a pear and rhubarb crumble tarlet........Mmmmmm.............and I'm still trying to get out of a parking ticket I received one day prior to the official end of our trip.

We completed our mammoth journey a few weeks ago and have been trying to adjust to 'normal' life again.

With a few responsibilities which had escaped our attention for the nine months we were on the penniless journey, each of us now has a few neglected issues which require our urgent attention.
But of course we will resume writing blog posts and thank you’s, which are missing between Adelaide and Brisbane shortly. Please rest assured all you lovely people who helped us, you have not been forgotten. We will be giving our blog full attention as soon as we catch up with mums and dads who haven't heard from us in ages, with student loan repayments which have been neglected, feed hungry goldfish, eat all the salt and vinegar crisps we can, and get a bit of exercise after being cramped up in the cheeky van for so long! We are also catching up on the long awaited beer and bourbon which has been sorely missed for many a night of the trip.....so when we sober up......we will be back.
