Our new place!

Sorry for not being very active on the blog lately, but we've been busy busy busy!

NYE in Sydney was quite an experience.  We were looking for a good spot to view the fireworks together with another million people in and around Sydney...  We ended up very close to the Harbour Bridge and saw the count down on the bridge and most of the fireworks.  The rest of our 4 day stay was spent touring around the city looking at all the landmarks.  We even had time for a trip to Bondi Beach, which was very nice considering the Sydney weather was sunny and hot.

So, what's kept us busy this last week is our move! We've moved from Newcastle to Nelson Bay 50 km north.  Wyatt nowadays has a 5 min drive to work rather than 45 and we have loads of space in our two storey house with 3 bedrooms, two balconies, a patio and a garden with loads of exotic plants! The house is really nice and after cleaning our old place for a couple of days and unpacking and tidying up here, we are finally sitting down with a glass of wine tonight enjoying our first house together!

Marg and Dale went back to Canada early this morning after almost 3 weeks over here.  Time has flown, they've been great company so the place feels a bit empty.  They were here in the middle of the move helping us with the cleaning, packing, carrying boxes etc.. thank you so much for your help! It was greatly appreciated.

Well, we were up at 5 this morning so it's bedtime for us now.  I leave you with some pictures from the last week.
