The statistics are in, and we think impressive - almost 7,000km of driving, over 2,000km of flights, around 60 nights away, some 1,000 litres of fuel, 1 tyre, 1 air spring, 1,886 photos, 3 1/2 hours of video, we lost count of the nappies and never mind how many beers.
Still, there’s no place like home, and we all suddenly appreciate just how easy life is in a house - it’s cold and raining outside, but we are toasty warm and dry inside - total luxury. There is even a dishwasher in this place, much to the delight of the boys.
The trip home was uneventful - a good thing when flying. The boys are both seasoned travellers now, so settled right in to a movie and a bite to eat (after studying the emergency information booklet carefully of course). Centine needed a bit more comforting, though after a ‘latte’ and a nap she was content too. Even more so once she realised she had an audience in the other passengers on the plane to entertain.
It’s been one heck of a trip, and not one we will soon repeat - I’ve seen enough corrugated roads for quite a while! We wanted an adventure, and we sure got one!
Now though, it’s time to get back to the real world - see our friends again, catch up on school, go back to work, and when the car and trailer get back to Perth, clean clean and clean some more.
We have convinced ourselves the ‘influencer’ life is not for us, so this will be our last update. Thank you again for all your comments and interest in our little trip - we have loved keeping a record of our days, and your feedback and ‘likes’ have been wonderful.
Love,

What a trip you have made! Thanks for taking us with you. Now we have quite a good impression of the wilderness and the beauty of a part of the world we will never visit, so different from ours and so far away. And most of all we enjoyed having an insight in your lovely family. Impressive. [Doaitse Wilbers]
Traveler Thanks for coming along! I doubt we will be back there very soon either - it's a very very very long way away...
