Farewell

My time in Australia has come to an end-tear!  I never thought that I would be so touched by all of the people that I met. I can't say enough nice things about the people I met or the places I went.  This is an absolutely wonderful place and I will never forget it.  I was able to survive without my friends and family back home and at times it was very challenging but my new friends and family helped me pull through.  I learned a lot about myself while I was here and this was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done in my life.  I feel very blessed to have been given this opportunity.


Started out my day with a final fat burning session.  Florian surprised me with a bottle of French red wine and a picture of the two of us and a nice note that he wrote.  All of the trainers also gave me a card with very heartfelt notes written inside.  I can't say enough amazing things about this gym and the people that work there.  I worked very hard (as you can see my face is bright red) and got some wonderful results.  


Had a farewell happy hour at a rooftop bar.  


It was nice to see everyone and have a final Australian beer with the team.


This is my buddy Kyla.  She organized the happy hour.  She is a doll and I'm gonna miss our girl chats at work.  She had also organized a morning tea that the team attended and they gave me a really nice card that everyone signed and a boomerang for my desk back home.  


After the happy hour a few of us went out for supper at a Korean BBQ place.  It was fun because you got to cook your food at the table.  


I definitely took advantage of living here because in 6 months I drove 6148 km which equates to 3820.19 miles which is farther than driving from Seattle to New York-impressive I must say!!!  I did miss out on some major attractions so you know what that means....I'll have to come back:)

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed telling you of my weekly adventures.  

This now concludes my Australian Adventure!
