We're back, we're safe, we're done!
It's been a great trip. We've learnt a huge amount and, importantly, have learnt that we thrive on expeditioning life. Phew. Bring on the North Pole in April!
Arrived back at the guesthouse in Nybyen (means "New Town") yesterday afternoon. Naturally, there was a mad rush for the showers. And naturally Ness and I both bagged the first ones after packing up/ hanging out (to dry) our kit in uber-quick time!! Which, also naturally, is most unlike us normally! Needless to say the shower was H.E.A.V.E.N.L.Y. The best of my life. There were fears for my mental state after the team discovered I had gone for a second shower 2 hours later - but when they saw my hair, they understood: my rasta dreadlocks have been brushed out. Finally. Ali and I had right birds nests up top. Thank God I'm not going to return home a skinhead after all...
By 5.30pm we were in the sitting room celebrating Mary's (team Doc) birthday before heading into town for a pizza/ steak. Can't tell you how much we are anticipating dinner... Or how much we want to get home. Will never take family/ friends/ kettles/ anything forgranted again. So, so special to hear "my boys'" voices again and see them on Skype.
Now bring on that vino!
