Mild hangover, that a coffee and a Dr Pepper fixed, and then did all the re-packing of all M’s stuff to go back to the UK. Took a bus downtown and bought the last things I need, including the glue to fix the brewery sign that I broke off the bike yesterday – beer in a seedy bar on the walk back from downtown and then was back at Spenard.
Fixed the beer sign and M returned from his shopping trip. Suddenly it’s time to go home! The return always seemed such a long way ahead, and now I have one last night. Well, my last night was a quiet, low alcohol one. Went just over the road to Gwennie's for a BBQ ribs and a last glass of Alaskan beer. The TV was showing the program of Alaskan crab fisherman.
Back to the hostel and shifted all our stuff out of the bunk room to the lobby, so we don’t disturb anyone with our early starts; M leaves just after 5am to catch his bus to the border, and I have a cab booked for 06:45. Everything’s done…. So it ends where it began… Spenard Hostel and Anchorage airport. Still have not worked out what to do about sleep and jet lag. Will try to sleep on the transatlantic flight I think; never had jet lag before, and am not looking forward to it.
