Last time I wrote I think it was the night before Rachael was due to pick us us from the backpackers - we'd arranged to stay with her and her boyfriend Josh for a couple of weeks. Although me and Rach got on well and had some good laughs last time I was in Australia - I was still a bit anxious about how it was all going to turn out - especially has I'd not seen her for 4 years and Phil and Josh had never met! It was either going to go really well or be a disaster! (as it turns out Rach felt exactly the same!) We have been there for 3 weeks now and its been great, I think we all get on really well.

Der Flug retour war diesmal ‚leider’ economy… man hat halt nicht ganz so viel Platz. Ein bissal gerädert bin ich dann Sonntag Mittag in Wien angekommen. Cori hat mich vom Flughafen, trotz müder Augen, abgeholt. Danach noch zu Heli, Daxi und den Kids und gegen 21 Uhr war ich dann endlich in meinem Bettchen, oder besser auf meiner Matratze. Wolfgang wird in der Zwischenzeit 'brav' arbeiten, gegen Anfang April in unser Häuschen einziehen, dann sollte es auch Bilder von Innen geben und wir ... read more
