We pack up and get the bus (after struggling with our bags to the bus stop in the melting heat) to our last Airbnb for Australia. Sob! We're returning to Amelia's place, where we stayed over New Year. We've trusted each other and gone outside Airbnb this time, saving us both some fees, so it's a bargain from our point of view. Plus, Amelia has probably the cutest cat in Australia, Tess, with the second cutest cat, Tux, living just next door. After...

Not a strong one - this coffee pats you on the shoulder rather than giving you a hug or a caffeine smack. We found a cat while we were drinking it, which was a highlight!AB
