Day Four in my new favourite place – some light reflection in Mining Land…

So today I had to get up early. And by early I don’t mean like 5:30am, haha, oh no, I of course mean 7:30am (which is early enough). The reason, you may ask, as to why I needed to rise at such an ungodly hour when I only started work at 5pm?

Traveller or Tourist?

I did a bit of research and read a few articles recently on the differences between a traveller and a tourist, and whether there are actually any differences at all.
