I've spent a fair few hours on buses and planes over the last few days... and I got to thinking...
Travelling makes you realise a few things.... here's 10 of my most very random thoughts....
1. You never need as many clothes as you think you do
2. Every place you visit is unique and has its own 'on of a kind!'
3. When you look at a map, Australia really is at the end of the world :)
4. It's very hard to get 'proper lost' (as the English would say)
5. Mental maths is a very good thing (especially for currency conversion)
6. Everything costs more than you bargained for, even if you tried bargaining
7. Even if you think you can't, you most definitely can
8. When you are travelling you will do, say and wear things that you most definitely would not at home - and if you do it overseas you may as well just do it at home too. In the end, who cares?!!?!? (watch out for me when I get back.... !)
9. People are the same everywhere and 98% of them are really friendly
10. Everywhere you go there is a fantastic mountain to climb!
There's plenty more randomness to add here but that's my list for today.
Now.... off to make sure I don't get proper lost in the massiveness that is Dubai International Airport! Better check on me in a few days to see if I made it to South Africa :)
Have a great day everyone!!
