on the move for the last time.....

So....I'm leaving Wales in a few hours for the busy streets of London, bringing my journey to an end. When I get home, I'll try to piece together the last few weeks of my trip on this website for all of you I neglect with regard to emailing. This last week has been really nice and relaxing, as I've been staying with my second cousin Iain and his wife Anne (and family) in Bridgend, Wales (just about 20 mins out of Cardiff). They've been absolutely wonderful to me and have shown me around this area, in addition to letting me just relax in their home. For that, I really have to thank them, because I think I really needed it!
Staying in my last hostel tonight and tomorrow night, before crashing on the floor of a few people I met in San Sebastian for the last two nights. Then....home! I honestly can't believe it's been 4 months already. In some ways, it seems an absolute eon for all the things I've done and people I've met, but in others, it just seems like a week ago that I was sitting in the airport on my way out here.
more later......

In a week you're going to be thinking, "I wish it was warm like it was in Bulgaria." Or "Old? You call a 40 year old house old? If a house makes it to 1000, then I might call it old."

It's true...I already forget what it was like to be in the middle of a searing heat wave. It's an ok temp. here in London...kind of like late autumn weather, so not warm, but not freezing either. I think my hoodie is going to cut it for the rest of the trip....seeing as it's only another few days.
As for the old...also true. After Rome, I dunno....I'll be looking for the ruins of a past civilisation in Vancouver, and all I'll find is a Starbucks that hasn't yet been renovated! oh, and seriously, Starbucks just ISN'T going to cut it anymore.

It's your last day. Any final thoughts?
