Sydney, here we come!



Home sweet home!

Well, it's been fairly quiet here on our blog lately. I guess that is both good and bad...

Here's all the good:

We have settled down a bit, and we now feel that we are officially living in Byron Bay, rather than visiting.

Our new room

We are renting a room in a house that is quite close to work, and the beach, and are out of the backpackers hostel! We are a bit sad to miss all the people we meet at the hostel, and we LOVED their beautiful pool, but will still visit. :-) That said, the house is wonderful. We have a real kitchen, oven and all, and it isn't shared with 200 of our nearest friends... We have actual space in the kitchen to put our pantry items, and fridge space for all our stuff!

We have our own room, a big bed, and two pillows each!

Both of us have been working a pretty good amount, which is nice because we need the extra money to go to Sydney!! That said, we find plenty of time for sun, surf, and friends.

Yes, we are all booked (travel and accommodations) for our trip to Sydney! We leave Byron around midnight on the 22nd and return on the 2nd of January. Its a witheringly-long 13 hour bus ride to Sydney, which will not be pleasant. That said, we are very excited to spend Christmas and New Years in Sydney. We have made lots of friends so far in our travels, and a surprising number of people have similar plans, so we will be meeting up with a ton of great people while we are there!

We are excited also to be coming back to Byron after the new year! We had originally planned to stay in Sydney when we went down there, but have loved it here so much we decided to come back for another couple of months.

It is a hard place to leave, after all.

Last weekend they had a big market, which was just a block from our new house. We walked all over, ate some good food, and enjoyed some really good music! Here's a shot of us at the market... Sadly I am horrible at taking pictures of us. I can usually get us both on screen, which Krissy is less good at, but I can't manage to do it and look natural/smile at the same time. Oh well, guess I'm not perfect.

Oh yeah, I was doing this good and bad thing here... but I guess there isn't anything bad to report. It's all good here, so as they say here - No worries, mate!

With that in mind, I'll close with a rad picture of something very Aussie which I found in the store the other day...

Man Size Kleenix - They were huge! (And awesome)
