End of the Journey

We finished things up in Are nicely. Clinton and I both passed our exam quite comfortably and proceeded to part ways. He's headed off to Greece with his girlfriend as I jump on a painfully long train journey down to Stockholm. 2 Weeks in Stockholm consisting largely of going to the park for a few drinks with the Hard Rock crew. I shacked up at Valeria's place with my own room: Something I have never had in all my time in Sweden.

It was good to see everyone in Stockholm again. 6 months had passed and very little had changed. About the biggest difference I could see was that Jason was now fitting comfortably into his role as manager and they had added Brisket to the menu. Wow.

A couple of short weeks later I jumped on a plane to London- it was a bit of a near miss as my flight was canceled and the replacement almost didn't match up with my connecting flight. It all turned out in the end and I managed to meet up with Ben who had come out to Heathrow for dinner and drinks. Good of him to make the effort as I wasn't going to have time or the money to make my usual week or two pass through London city.

And here I am. Back in Perth after 2 years and here I will stay for 6 weeks before making the trip over east for the season in Hotham. It's good to be back.
