I wonder how many newspapers/websites used that headline. EH???
Strange ending but quite fitting as the whole tournament has been plagued with shambolic activity. Never mind, its all over now.
Almost all of the other Reuters crew go home tomorrow. Tonight we're all going out for dinner as a team farewell thing and I'm a legitimate participant as I has four stories published around the world for Reuters (although the first one said by Simon Baker...) and two Reuters TV pieces.
I am multimedia. Hear me roar.
Tomorrow Simon and I intend to find a post office and post a big bunch of summer clothes home to make room in the suitcases for all the groovy way cool far out stuff we're going to buy in the States. I've already got an entire little backpack full of presents, mostly for Simon's kids, so we'll have to try to restrain ourselves!
We fly out of Barbados on Tuesday afternoon our time which is Wednesday breakfast time or a little earlier. Miami then Washington for one whole day then a train trip up to New York.
Planning to check out all the usual touristy things, see a Yankee game, and SHOP. Oh and eat, Chantelle can you please email me the name of that Italian restaurant cos I've forgotten.
Went for a wee drive today to the most northern point on this island and saw a very dramatic landscape of rocks and sheer cliffs. The water is the Atlantic and its so wild compared to the Caribbean sea which is what we've been swimming in.
After our day of administration and packing tomorrow, we will return to the first beach we stayed at when we arrived in Barbados all those weeks ago, the one with lots of great surf action but its just sand and clear, warm water.
It remains our favourite so it will be nice to end this amazing trip in a beautiful place that we enjoyed so much.
Simon is really really looking forward to getting home to see the kids and get back to normal life. I could probably cope with another 8 weeks here..... but without the cricket. Must say though, I've learned an awful lot and I'm even quite fond of the game. We'll see how long that lasts, being rugby season and all.
I see I've regained a bit of my lead in the Virtual Super 14 apart from Clare's pesky brother getting in the way. He'd better watch it.....
