We're back online !

Well it's been a while since we posted on the blog. The main reason being that we didn't have internet in our new rental and that took a week to connect, plus we've been to Sydney for a small week. As usual we scrutinized all the internet providers and came up with the winner : Internode.com.au. Their Easy Broadband plan is not the cheapest ( although it's one of the cheaper plans available in our region ) but it's very stable and many people regard internode as the "best" ISP in Australia. So , we got 50 gigabytes for 50 bucks every month, that's reasonable I guess. We'll be putting on our downloaders a few days before the end of each month instead of "all the time" :) Never really had time to watch or listen to everything I downloaded anyway, and we wanted to get outside more anyway, which we're done so far : We go to the beach almost every day , and guess how many people ( on average ) are on the beach ? 0 ! The beaches are completely empty, it's so nice to not have to compete for your square meter of beach on a nice day, or pay 50 Euro's in parking fees for a few hours of beach, and then sit in traffic jams on the way back. So in the last 2 weeks we've left our Bed and Breakfast in Mango Hill and moved in to our new rental place in Buderim. We've also visited Kim's brother Tom and his wife Jane in Sydney while we picked up our cat and dog. It's been a very busy period and both Kim and me caught a bug on our way back from Sydney and this has confined us to bed for the last couple of days ( sleeping on the floor doesn't help ). In the last few days our bed has arrived and we got internet running, we have a fridge and washing machine + dishwasher, so we're getting used to the luxuries of western life again.

We are already confident that this was the right move for us, and Queensland ( especially the Sunshine Coast ) definitely feels right for us : We feel alive again and are very happy overall. When we drove back from Sydney to Queensland we felt like driving home, it feels like we have lived in Queensland for years already.
