The last post

We woke up this morning a little sad to be leaving, but excited to be going home. It is Anzac Day in Australia and I like to attend the dawn service, so there were lots of thoughts of home.  We ran into most of our travel family over the course of the morning so we had a chance for a few more hugs and goodbyes. We were not leaving till 10 so decided to get rid of the bad memories and revisit Ta Prohm - the temple from yesterday where it all came unstuck. We caught a tuk tuk there and back and enjoyed the ride as much as the temple - it was good to get a last drive around to say goodbye to Cambodia.

We missed the streamlined benefits of travelling with the group on our journey to Singapore. We carried our own luggage, we waited in lines and there was no cold drink provided while we waited to board. Our flight was delayed, our bus to the Hard Rock Hotel was delayed, and our check in took forever. This left us with only an hour and a half to enjoy Universal Studios, but team Starrett rose to the occasion and went on a commando journey through the park. We rode Terminator, the Mummy, the Jurassic Park ride, Madagascar and Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase. We ate dinner at the Hard Rock (number 14 for Flynn) and crashed in bed. 

Our flight home (4.20am pick up!) went without a hitch and we were all happy to sleep in our own beds.

After dealing with a mountain of laundry, I spent some quiet time this morning reflecting on our amazing experience- it truly was the adventure of a lifetime. Thanks for travelling along with us.
