Christmas 2008 - Brisbane

Hello everybody,

Christmas 2008 was a brilliant! Being in the warmth again for christmas, after 7 years of snow and cold, is definitely the way I prefer it!!

Christmas for me this year was in Brisbane with my friends Johan and Sarah. The day itself was filled with a lot of nothing... a swim with Lilly at the beach, some card games, some hacky sack later we started cooking - a classic south african meal - consisting of vetkoek and mince for the main and koeksisters for dessert. YUM-YUM!!!!

What happened to my forehead? Well, that was a result of a lot of Christmas spirits... a good night out from what my friends tell me, until I started argueing with the pavement. I am pretty sure I won!!! :) All is well!!!!

I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas! I am looking forward to hearing your stories.

All the best

Pete

Melbourne - December 2008

Hi guys,

Long time no update.... SORRY!!!

These are some fotos I took in Melbourne in December when I was down there for a job interview. I will be returning to Melbourne in February so expect more pictures of the city then! Melbourne is supposed to be the cultural capital of Australia. I can see why, there are tons of pubs playing live music, street musicians, theaters etc. I am looking forward to exploring the city with all its alleyways and coffee shops more.

I hope you are all well and that 2009 will be a sucessful year for us all!!

Hugs and kisses

Pete
