Day 13: Mon 3 Oct - Home

A very sad day - all our visitors left. Wendy took Sylvain to the airport for the 9:45am flight to Brisbane and Greg took Ulf, Silke and Arne for the later Jetstar flight

Although the post conference tour was not as exciting for me this year, it was to the visitors. Whilst it did involve a lot of preparation, it was an absolute pleasure to have a group of international, like-minded people visit Hippo Farm and surrounding areas. It was also a great opportunity for Wendy to visit the rest of Fraser Island, and the rum distillery. 

And, so ends another FIP Congress and visit/tour. Next year , we are off to Cape Town, South Africa. I still have family in South Africa, so will probably go a week before the Congress to spend some time with them and then stay a week after to do some stuff with the group. We still do not know where the Congress will be in 2025, so hopefully it will be somewhere I have not been and really want to go.

PS. I have booked my ticket for Cape Town and have arranged with the cousins for a visit pre-Congress. The group was going to do a visit to Vic Falls in Zimbabwe/Zambia, however, after receiving a few quotes, most have decided to stay in Cape Town and do tours from there. I do not remember ever having been to CPT, so everything will be new and exciting.
