SYDNEY AND BEYOND
The last couple weeks have been hectic as we closed the Tasmanian chapter of our lives. Many teary eyed good byes were said and to-do-lists ticked off. The container with all our belongings, except what we need on the Camino, has been packed and sent away but the reality of leaving finally set in as we boarded the plane in Hobart. You would think we would be used to moving. In the last 24 years Spencer and I have made 12 major moves, 5 of those have been overseas. The moves just don't get any easier. 
It is hard to believe we are leaving; we fell in love with Tasmania, its people, its nature and its laid back lifestyle. Its a very, very special place. Thanks to everyone who made our lives in Tasmania a wonderful experience, especially Tarremah Steiner School and Brad and Linda for being understanding and hospitable right to the very end. 
 We have made it as far as Sydney and are staying with old high school friends, Donna and Mick Hawke.  After an emotional plane ride over the Bass Strait it was nice to be picked up by friends and toured around Sydney.

Sydney is beautiful, the weather is perfect,went to Bondi Beach in search of Bondi Vet but alas he must have been out rescuing animals elsewhere. We are here until Monday and then we are off to Madrid
