Goodbye Australia and hello New Zealand

We recently wrapped up our time in Tasmania by hiking along the east coast of the island, taking a ghost tour at night through an old and brutal penal colony, visiting an amazing art museum and spending a couple of days with newly made friends Tonia and Pierre who hosted us at their beautiful house on the backside of Mt. Wellington and just outside of Hobart. 

Once back on mainland Australia, we were hosted by Nadia's old friend Leslie who took us surfing at Bondi Beach before cooking a beautiful dinner for us on her rooftop terrace overlooking the skyline of Sydney. We also took the kids to a play (Westside Story) and traveled on a ferry across Sydney to meet up with our friend Denise from our time together in Eritrea. 

Australia is a huge and diverse country with something to offer to everyone. Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been to and I only wish we had a bit more time spend there.
We've now flown to New Zealand and are spending time at our good friends Helle and Warrick's house. They live in the countryside, close to the coast, and it's so good to see with them and catch up.
The kids are doing great and so is Nadia. We all continue to enjoy this grand adventure and be inspired by seeing old friends, meeting new people and visiting new places.

Cheers, 
Rob
