Vuurwerk en Portugese oorlogsschepen

Hallo allemaal!

Jippie, ik ben er eindelijk geraakt. Het ging eens tijd worden. Voor ik in de volgende posts diep filosofische vragen ga beginnen stellen en die met jullie wil bedebatteren, schets ik nu even wat er zo allemaal op stapel stond de laatste week.

Maandagmorgen vertrokken bij -8 graden Celcius. Voorbeeldige vlucht gehad (lekker eten alvast en ‘Ghost Town’ gezien met Ricky Gervais => niet slecht). Dinsdagavond negen uur gearriveerd bij 23 graden.  Opgehaald geworden door Ilse en Tokkie. De jetlag viel allemaal weer goed mee (een mens geraakt er zowaar aan gewend). Tot zover de mededelingen.

Happy Birthday to me!!!

Thanks everyone for sending flowers, cards, presents, calls and texts… and a special shout-out to Bram for setting up the most succesful treasure hunt EVER, had me giggling and running all over the place.  The house looks like a pink explosion and I couldn’t be happier :)))

Btw, we’re hitting more than 30 degrees again here in Sydney, another present for my birthday, warm on the in- and out-side!!!

Will be on Skype tomorrow to catch up with some of the peeps in Belgium x

Sail away

With a fine 30 degrees forecast I got invited to join a friend and his relatives on a sailing trip in Sydney Harbour.
Even though I only sailed once before (in Veerle, Netherlands), I was super-excited.  And the trip far exceeded my every possible expectation and imagination!
Definitely a must-do for anyone who visits Sydney!!!

See this video for a nice impression…
The actual boat we were on looked more like this :

We sailed from Neutral Bay (through a bit of a traffic jam, lots of little racers) away from the city through the green harbour onto the sea past North and South Head cliffs.  Sun shining, beers, sandwiches, nice conversations, birds chirping for fish, no sharks, what more could a girl ask for!  By the time we were heading back, we were all roasting, so we moored in Camp Cove for a little dip, the water was still frrrrrreezing, but oh so clear and refreshing.  I didn’t even bring my swimming gear and still jumped in  🙂

The only thing that was missing was Bram… Well honey, let’s get those sailing lessons sorted 😉
