Hello Australia!

After about 35 hours total travel time with our 3 little troopers we finally made it to Australia. We stayed in some temporary apartments for the first week while we looked for an apartment. Amazingly in order to keep us in the same room during our stay they upgraded us to the penthouse... rough life. Our first suprise is that it is winter here in August. It has been just about as warm as a normal danish summer month. Crazy.
A view from the "suite" at night. We LOVED it!
We decided to move to a beautiful area called Manly and we are literally 1 block away from a great beach. There are always a lot of swimmers, boogie boarders, body surfers, and of course, surfers! Manly is very much a surf town and we are so happy to be here for the next 8 months.
The Opera House lived up to the hype. We want to see an opera while we're here.

WOW!!! What a fabulous place to live. I can't imagine 35 hours of travel with 3 little ones - I'm so glad you made it and found a place to live.
