The final Trek.....
The trip from St. Petersburg to Amsterdam was the most tirirng of all, after being on a bus for 8 hours til tallinn had to wait for 3 hours to get a flight to Berlin....
When I finally got the flight I arrived in the evening and my flight to Amsterdam was at 6a.m. the next morning....so I thought I would just sleep in the airport.....WRONG......airport was closed til 4 so I stayed on the street all night and ended up meeeting some drunk russian guy that was trying to make his way to Paris but had no money whatsoever.....I have no idea what happened to him....
I finally got my flight to Amsterdam, almost die during it as well, it was one of the oldest planes I've ever flown in and the pilot was obviously not the best either, but hey.....I made it...
Once I got there I thought I would just find accommodation easily but there was this big conference on and absiolutely everything was full, they even told me to try a different town about 50 kms from amsterdam....I decided to talk to the friends I had made when I stayed there last time and one of them let me stay at his place.....he provided all the commodities....."breakfast", "coffee", alcohol....hehehehe so it was pretty good, but after 2 days of being on the road and not sleeping I was pretty tired so i slept all day....
We went out that night and the next morning I got my flight to Australia without any sleep at all....and what a flight it was....the whole flight the plane was leaking water and it was literally raining inside the plane....not very reassuring if you take into account the flight takes 12 hours....:)
Right now I'm in Malaysia waiting for my connection to Sydney, which leaves in about an hour....and once in Sydney that's it.....back to work and to the serious(and boring) life....:(
It was an amazing adventure and one that tought me a lot and that I will remember forever....thanks to everyone for the emails and the comments and "travelling" with me through this website.....
I know that I promised photos and they will come as soon as i get to Sydney......I have bucket loads of them.....and I know you'll enjoy them....
Time to go now.....another chapter in my life is over......
