I cannot believe you guys are still out and about! Winter is almost finished here, which means summer is just around the corner.... it also means that you were here so so long ago! I think you should turn around and retrace all your steps!

I still have the half kilo of clothing you left behind... you'll need an Antonov An-225 to carry you home!
