Taking stock

31 days away, almost 10.000 km in one continent, 11 flights, 12 beaches, 4 BBQs and 2 fish&chips, 3 pizzas, 3 ice creams and even 2 pastas (Asian noodles not included).

26 cities, 1437 photos, 1 (sort-of) dive, 20 degrees temperature excursion on the continent, 40 degrees excursion upon return to Europe.

12 Sauvignon blanc, 1 Chardonnay, 8 Shiraz, 5 Australian lagers, 1 Japanese drink tasting like bubblegum.

A dozen kangaroos (half of them dead on the road), a few wallabies, about 20 koalas (all alive), a thousand penguins going home for dinner at dusk, 5 crocodiles, 3 shadows of sharks, dozens of parrots, hundreds (dead) jellyfishes, thousands colourful butterflies.

1 heat-induced headache, zero colds, zero sicknesses, 1 big smile.
