Adios Melbourne!

After all the preparation and anticipation, all that remained was to say goodbye to our friends, colleagues and family in Melbourne. Some of it was serious. Some of it was silly. Some of it was made a little easier with a shot of vodka. Europe, here we come!

Life in a box

Packing everything you own into boxes is a great way to a) force you to get rid of all the stuff you don't need b) realise how much CRAP you accumulate without even trying and c) cause you to resolve to consider all future purchases much more carefully. It's all done now, and our boxes of stuff are floating their way towards Switzerland (on a ship, we hope).
