Took camp down for the last time and hit off for Sydney Harbour to drop Sarah to the ferry. Then it was onwards to catch our ferry to Seattle and again got the usual questioning at customs (Where were you born? What do you work as? How do you know eachother? (That's the awkward one!), How do you finance your trips? etc). Back into the U.S.A and had a quick stop in Walmart for last minute shopping the American way, before landing back at the hotel.....BEDS.... BIG BEDS!!!! We said our goodbyes to Ben, Winston and Dirty Dorris, aswell as to some other group members who were flying on to other destinations immediately. Those who were left met in the restaurant for dinner and then headed off to relax on beds and/or pack up. We met for one last drink in one of the rooms and said our goodbyes... very sad ;(

Myself and Niels had a few more days in Seattle, so the next day, after breakfast in Denny's, we headed into the city, walked all the sights; SafeCo and Qwest arenas, the Waterfront, Pike Place Market, the original Starbucks (Think we were the only ones who ordered hot coffees theough!!), and the shops. Then to relax a little more, we headed to the cinema before catching the bus backout to the airport hotel. Chilled in our room, watching TV, but not quite able to adapt to having one after the last 3 weeks camping!
