Kms up to a day – a lot
Kms to go – what ever it takes to get home
We are not far a way from home – yet we are not there and it is nerves wrecking.
Friends my good friends who keep calling with words of encouragement and support – thank you . Your kind words, your e-mails that's what keeps me going these days. My dear sister Martina thank you for "being with me", for believing in me , for talking to me every day.
Yes, we are not far away from home but there is a few more days to go...

6 November
Kms up to a day – 3,486.5
I am on my way... Yes... I am on my way home. It seems that the grass is greener here , the sky is more blue and the birds are singing more beautiful songs – Victoria. We crossed the border last week. I have been living here for last 16 years but now I know I have a place I love to be - Victoria - my home.

28 October
I am looking at the map of Australia – 3200 kms behind us. It is hard to believe that this distance was done on this push scooter. You do bit by bit every day and then looking at the map feels amazing.
My friend I spoke to recently asked me why I am not posting more details about this trip in my blog any more. She was under impression that everything was already said at the beginning .
Well... I could write about all my feelings, excitements. I could write about my disappointments, struggles, about feeling high and down about touching the freedom. I could write about how I get tired ,recover and keep going again. I could write about my emotions – positive and negative – I could write how I dissect them and correct them ?... believing that I get myself into balance and harmony. I could write about learning tolerance and respect toward other person to be able to maintain a healthy relationship with my team on this trip. I could write about places we visited, people we met....
Yes, it is a lot of to write about but at this moment ... at this right moment I am tired. All I can do is keep scootering and keep my belief about finishing this journey alive.
...and then ....when I come back home I want to write it all down into the book and I hope that this journey might inspire someone... but now at 8 o'clock in the morning I hop on the scooter and push myself off again...

One chapter is closed and a new one has just started. We crossed the NSW border on the 16 of September leaving Queensland behind. I am closer to home!! It feels so good !! But there are still more than 2 month to go. From now on I would be concentrating on scootering. I want to finish what I started. I would be lying if I say that it is easy. It is simply not. I would be using my will power to keep going every day. It is raining here for last 3 days. The country is covered with mist and fog . It doesn't help to keep my spirit high. It is 7 AM and I am going to prepare myself for scootering ... planned destination - Casino.
