30/01: Getting closer to the end

Today there's 2 weeks to go before we're getting on the flight back to DK. Until now we've been relaxing and taking it very easy especially these last couple of days. Wednesday we're off to Tassie, where we'll be driving around seeing the westcoast of Australias largest Island. Upon our return we'll have 4 days - hopefully with a bit more diving on my part.
It's very strange to get so close to our departure.....I keep wondering what awaits us in DK.

23/01: Dive buddies are back

2 of the greatest dive buddies are back, Chris and Sarah are visiting, and despite jetlag??? we went out for a double dive on Shelly yesterday. Pregnant Wobbigongs, Weedy seadragon, Mooray eel, Giant cuttle fish, Dusky whalers, Octopus, Squids and much much more.....what more can you ask for :o)

21/01: Why did they change the rules?

Ok, so maybe life was tough in the 'old' days, but apparently also much simpler. I.e. with clear guidelines to teachers how could you ever doubt the dedication?
The guidelines for the teachers working on Kangaroo Island in 1872

The rules 4 and 8 I especially like :o)

20/01: A kind of a sad day

Everything is gone....all our stuff have now been picked up by the removal company and.........the car is sold :o(
Our beautiful sweet sweet car is gone - despite the fact that we are now driving a cool 4wd it was sad to see it go.
We've also just returned from 2 days in Adelaide and 2 days on Kangaroo island. KI was cool, lots of wild life, very nice guide and great experiences. Adelaide have nice wine and food....but 1 day is enough.
Pictures from our trip might be here later, if not you'll have to wait till I get my PC in DK.....hmmmmmm 8,10, 12, 20 weeks from now?

Btw. our phone is also disconnected by know so if you need us, call on our mobiles or send an email :o)

14/01: Hectic days

Current status is:
We've moved out of the appartment.
All our things are sold.
Deposit has been taken on the car.
We're now living in Jespers appartment :o)
We are very tired!

So, on Monday we are going to Adelaide and Kangaroo Island - returning Thursday evening. Friday morning the removal company will pack and uplift all the stuff going to DK. Friday the new owner of our lovely Saab will come pick it up, and finally we will return the keys to the real estate agency and it will all be a done deal.
Tonigh I'm off to done a night dive, and tomorrow we're returning to make the inventory and insurance list .
Boy oh boy, it's really going fast now.

08/01: What's up

So, latest news is all our stuff here in Sydney is sold.
A couple from Norway came to inspect the apartment, and before they left they had an offer on our items for sale.
This is now confirmed so we are very happy.
Today I should have been diving at Magic Point with Aasa, but they cancelled the spot due to high sea.
Instead we had a leasure float around Fairlight, and then we'll try MP again next weekend. I really really want to dive with Grey Nurse Sharks before we leave.

01/01: Dehydrated...???

Another great evening
Okay, so NYE went pretty well. We ended up in our own appartment before the midnight fireworks, and again we had spectacular views. Today, not really hungover - but high risc of dehydration never the less. We went to the beach to do some snorkling and the thermometer in the car read 44 degrees.....this was at 13. We went home again at 18 and it still read 44. Today is just to warm - looking forward to return to the colder!!! north
