This is it!

I am going to officially close down this blog now. Thank you so much for reading! You were with me when I landed in Sydney, at Dane's on the beach, in Melbourne at the tennis, in the backseat of a van in New Zealand, seasick on the Anaconda, holding a koala in Brisbane, tanning in Hawaii, and finally home.

I'm going to be making this blog into a book so I can look back on all the memories. It was truly the most incredible, unimaginable experience of my life so far and I can't wait to look back and read about all that happened. I'm very sad it's over but I know that even though this particular adventure is done, another one is coming my way.

I want to create a new blog and will post the link to it here... it's Medieval Mel http://medievalmel.blogspot.com/ !! Check it out! or follow me on Twitter @MelanieReiff

Thank you so much to everyone I met and who was with me while I traveled, I couldn't have done it without you and you really made it the best time I ever could have had!

This is Mel, signing off... and I leave you with my favourite picture of the trip. It looks like an optical illusion and shows that not everything is as it seems. I hope that, whoever you are and whatever you do, that you are risking it out there!
