We've had a fantastic time staying with the Steele's in Adelaide. It's been really special spending Christmas with such a lovely family, and we've felt totally at home here. In a way it feels like we've actually been home for Christmas - we've been able to totally relax and recharge our batteries ahead of the next leg of our travels. It hasn't been all relaxation though - we've kept ourselves busy playing table tennis, Boggle, poker and tennis, swimming in the pool and taking a couple of trips up Mount Lofty and into the centre of Adelaide (a really nice city).
In true Aussie fashion we spent Christmas Day on the beach before coming back to the house for a lovely barbie. The weather has been amazing all week and has topped 40 degrees for the last few days - thank God for air conditioning!
It's with a lot of sadness that we have to bid our farewells tomorrow and head off. We're spending the next week or so in the Outback, visiting Coober Pedy, Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kings Canyon and Alice Springs before flying back to Sydney and then on to New Zealand. We're really looking forward to spending time in the Red Centre of Oz, although have been warned about the scorching temperatures and persistent flies!
Here's looking forward to a great 08!
