We are back in Sydney

We left Santiago around 1 PM on Thursday afternoon and finally arrived in Sydney around 5:30 PM on Friday. The flight was unbearable, especially since both of us were still feeling unwell. We couldn’t stay cool enough, and every inch of our bodies ached. It felt like the longest flight of our lives. After finally making it through customs, we had a short walk to the hotel. We were both so grateful to collapse into a hot shower, letting the warm water soothe our tired muscles and help us unwind. It was the relief we desperately needed after such an exhausting journey.

Over the next couple of days in Sydney, we’re hoping to continue with the much-needed rest and recovery to shake off these lingering colds before we head to Townsville and then home. We’ve kept our schedule free during this stopover—no plans, just focusing on feeling better.
