Time travel

The past day and a half have been a blur. I don't think I ever really understood what jet lag was until now. The best travel time estimate I can give is this.

Wake up Wednesday, January 4th 3am Indiana time. Go to airport. Fly to Chicago at 6. Gain an hour. Two hour layover. 4 hour Flight to L.A. Gain three hrs. Six hour layover. 12 hour flight to Auckland, New Zealand (sleep some) Lose one day. 1 1/2 hour layover. 3 hour flight to Brisbane, Australia. Three hours for baggage, immigration and customs. 20 minute cab ride to bus station. 4 hour bus ride to Lismore, New South Wales. Lose 1 hour. 25 minute cab ride to Nimbin. Arrive Friday January 6th at 6:30 pm.



It felt good to finally sleep. I had my first solar heated rainwater shower. It was surprisingly hot and refreshing. Everything seems to glow deep shades of green. Rain clouds gather over the distant mountains and bring occasional showers. The air is oxygen rich and when it isn't raining, the birds, insects and farm animals can be heard together as a constant hum. I took some pictures of the grounds this morning which should explain more than I can.
