Departure Day - SANAE 51

So the day to pack up the last things (meaning 3 duffels worth of stuff) and say my final goodbyes has finally arrived. Its a bittersweet feeling - on the one side we have an exciting adventure awaiting us, and on the other I have to leave the fam and friends behind.

Lots of hugs, kisses and tears later, we were finally off. Antarctica, here I come!!
