After a few plane delays and travel complications we finally made it to Australia! Right away we went to our spiritualy retreat which was a wonderful break from the hectic free travel! For a few of us we meditated for the first time, we spent a little over a day in silence, (which proved to be tough for a few of us) and had a lot of time to reflect back on the first two months of our trip as well as our own personal lives.
After four nice calming days we headed to Blackheath where we have been doing some wonderful hikes, or “bush walks” through the blue mountains and seeing some views that leave you in awe. On the way to Blackheath we saw our first wild kangaroo! It was actually quite exciting. Then once we got to the house we were able to rent (which is right next to the national park and overlooks a big valley) we looked over our porch and saw a huge snake hanging out by the basement. Australia is definitely keeping us on our toes!
