Goodbye Sydney

Packing up and moving is never fun, but we have to say a big thank you to Tristan and Charlotte. I met Charlotte once at a conference, discovered that we were both moving to Sydney for consecutive years, and she offered to buy our life. A year later there was a lot of money in our bank account, just like that. Without them leaving would have been a lot more stressful.

We also have to thank Oli for spending some of her precious holiday time packing up and cleaning our house, and to Marc for swapping his workout for lugging boxes. Its funny how the boring stuff like that occupies so much time. Even after we lef,t Angela and Karen had to run around after us sorting out the final bits and pieces.


Our final sunset picnic in the park with Karen, Marc, Holly and Sammy. The sun was not visible at any point!

We had great plans for our last day: Dropping off the car in Manly, ferry rides around the harbour, a walk across the harbour bridge, a trip to Luna park and dinner at Ripples. We hadn't planned on cold drizzle, but nevertheless, got on with it all. Luna park was a bit disappointing and we couldn't get off the ferris wheel quick enough.


We camped out in our empty house for the last night on airbeds, and our final goodbye was to a large but harmless spider in the bin. There are some things we won't miss.
