And just like that four weeks have passed, we have finished our first work placement and we are moving on to new adventures!

We’ve both been really excited about this upcoming week because the last week has been a little stressful at times to be honest; miscommunication issues being at the heart of things. But, we did manage to get in another paddle on the lagoon before we left and we watched the sun go down at Tangalle beach, the full moon shining and then watched the sun rise again from our local Silent Beach, which I will miss so much!

I’ll miss the local dog squad, most of which we gave nicknames too (Puppy, One-Eyed Willy, Ronnie and Reggie to name a few). I’ll miss the friendly locals and their smiles. I’ll miss the market sellers, especially the lady who always gave us free bananas! I’ll miss the ocean views from our room and I’ll miss the new friends we made.

But I can’t wait to do more exploring. I can’t wait to climb some mountains. I can’t wait for more sunrises. I can’t wait to visit new towns. And I can’t wait to fly to India next week!! Eek!

But first…a few epic trains rides to do.
