WOW we've done it. I still can't quite get over the fact that Han and I actually managed 6 months away and we're still alive and still friends (BFF's). So cheers to the most amazing 6 months ever and thank you to Hannah (Montana) for being such a fab travel bud (don't worry I won't get too soppy, apart from the fact that it took me about half an hour to order a drink today because I didn't have Han there to tell me what to get and that I also received a phone call from her the other day incapable of deciding whether to go for a buy 2 get the third three combo on cosmetics... oh dear).
In order to prove that we actually didn't have any arguments while we were away I would like to share with you all the wondrous birthday card that I received from the bestie...
Wow, that's love right there, and nothing to do with the fact that the only cards available in Asia are the most cringy things in the world. The card is now firmly in the travelling memories box, tucked away amongst the hundreds of leaflets, t-shirts and other general fancy dress memorabilia.
In the travellery box there's also a few more exciting little things like our parents 'Welcome Home' equipment.
Throughout the whole trip Han and I have been playing the Bertram's and the Croucher's off against each other demanding a competitive performance routine for our arrival at Heathrow, inspired by the much appreciated TMobile Welcome Home advert. And my how they did not disappoint. We came through into Arrivals (wearing every single item of fancy dress that we had collected throughout the trip; lays, meditation outfits, Peruvian woolly hats and full moon shorts to name a few items) to both families fully clad in Laura and Hannah branded t-shirts, welcome home signs, laptops blaring our own theme tune AND champagne. I love how every time I retell the story people say "Oh God wasn't that embarrassing" to which i reply HELL NO... we loved it! The fams delivered that's for sure!
So this was our first impression of arriving back in England, well that and the FREEZING cold which I am still having problems adjusting too. Which all in all shows that not much has changed. Its scarily easy to slot back into life at home despite all the amazing experiences that we've had.
I do keep having weird out of body experiences when I realise how much I must have adjusted to the foreign way of life... I now permanently attempt to hit the @ button above the 2 instead of the '. Yep, I just did it again then. Getting the tube has become a challenge, and I swear every person that I see coming into the Bat and Ball shouldn't be allowed to drink in there, but apparently have 'come of age' since I left. I still wear the clothes that I bought away because I can't cope with the depth of my wardrobe, what the fashion is anymore and/or remember what clothes I had before I left. All in all, things are weird.
So the best experience of my life complete, and probably the biggest achievement to date as well.
Two English girls complete the world challenge, alive, still friends, livers still functioning (just about). Bring on the next challenge. London life.... together obviously.

I want to be with you forever,
My heart is bouncing round and round,
I don't know what I've got...
I think I'm under the influence of liking you a lot!
I can't imagine sharing my life with anyone but you...
You my love,
Are my most favourite dream come true.
I will always love you.
