Beer is expensive and pretzels are disappointing, but some things are definitely better in Australia. ☕️ 🥭
Happy birthday dear Sandra! ❤️

Happy birthday dear Sandra! ❤️
Getting ready for the first sleep in our real bed in 2+ years… #germanbedwasbigger 😴
“This feels so strange. Did it really happen? Maybe we’ve been here all along, and we dreamed it all.”
“Then we’ll have to do it again, for real this time.”

“Guess how much a beer costs,” he said, *incensed*. 😂🍻 #cultureshock
Update: currently flying over Myanmar and soon to land in Bangkok. We are a good 6hrs behind schedule so we’ve definitely missed our connection. Not sure yet what the plan will be to get to Sydney. #adventure
Should also mention that this is only our 2nd ever long-haul flight in the pointy end of the airplane. Thai Airways isn’t a a fancy as Qatar, but you can’t beat a lie-flat bed!
Status update: chilling in Bangkok for a few hours. We’ve been rebooked to Sydney, so this adventure looks like it’s back on track!
Blog post! Figured while I’m sitting in an airport lounge, I can finally finish my long-awaited Oktoberfest post. 🍻
Final leg! We lost our business class seats in the Qantas rebooking, but we did get bulkhead. #nearlyhome #wellnotreallyitsninehours ✈️
32 hours after we were scheduled to leave Germany… finally home in Sydney. 😅🇦🇺
Dad – Australia needs you.
OF COURSE Rodd got pulled up by airport security when his carry-on went through the x-ray.
Them: “Sir, what is this solid aluminium cylinder full of gears?”
Him: “That’s my hand coffee grinder.”
They were impressed, of course. Germans love engineering. 😂
We are delayed due to “blizzard ice.” Germany really pulling out all the stops to keep us here!
We are finally boarded, nearly 4hrs delayed. (Take that, blizzard snow!) Munich – we love and miss you already. Europe – you’ve been the best. Thank you for everything. Sydney – get ready. We’re coming home. ❤️🇦🇺
Still in Munich. They are de-icing the wings before we take off, probably six hours late. We are definitely going to miss our connection in Bangkok. Another adventure!! 😂
Final packing and cleaning is happening. We fly back to Australia in just over 24hrs. 😱
Happy birthday Deba!! ❤️
Our second-to-last night in Munich, and we finally got to catch up with one of our oldest friends in Germany. ❤️
Final Weisswurst Frühstück. #tryingnottocry 🍻🥨🇩🇪
A perfect snowy winter’s day in Munich for a last bit of Christmas shopping. We had Schmalznudel and Glühwein, and yes, we bought the jacket. ☺️ (AND I FOUND A BUMBLE!!) ❄️🍷🎄
Me: “I wish it would snow before we leave Munich. Is that too much of a miracle to hope for?”
Munich: “Hold my beer.” ❄️☃️❤️
Current status. (Movers turned up at 7:15am on the dot, and they’re nearly finished!)
