Gorgeous\u00a0countryside but I have to admit that we only wanted to get there! Arrived about 1.30pm.<\/p>\n<p>Finally drove over the finish line &#8211; over 14000kms later. I had a huge sense of relief and was rather dazed by it all. People everywhere &#8211; but couldn&#8217;t find the girls or Carro, Tom and Tasman tell after we&#8217;d gone over the line. Wonderful to see them! Then Sue Sbrenna, from Italy turned up and Maddy Kofoed, who was living with a French family in Lyon turned up&#8230;.so was fantastic! A bottle of wine with a late lunch, then the ball and lots of farewells, as with many of these people we may never see again. Lots of different emotions from relief to sadness&#8230;&#8230;.a great sense of achievement and an overwhelming\u00a0feeling of exhaustion.<\/p>\n<p><a
