As we said goodbye to Mikey we caught our early morning flight from Auckland to Sydney. Happy to stretch our legs, we settled down in our spacious hotel room and watched a couple Christmas movies. We set up the tree, open our cake present, and talked with the families back home. Though we brought a little bit of Christmas with us, it’s not quite like home.
Despite knowing the seasons are opposite to ours, it was still bizarre celebrating in sunny warm weather. Families get together, not around a warm fireplace, but a blazing barbie (BBQ, for those who don’t speak Australian). People are wearing Budgie Smugglers (you can figure that one out yourself) and carrying surfboards as they head to the beach with Santa hats everywhere.

So Cheers to all our mates and we wish everyone a warm and happy holiday!
