Bye Bye Australia !

After 3 months of fun and work in Melbourne, with winter arriving we have decided to leave Australia to continue our trip :)

After fighting with our real estate agency to break our lease, both resigned from our jobs, took care of all the paperwork, it was time to say goodbye to our Melbourne friends over some leaving drinks.

Apres 3 mois en Australie, l'hiver arrivant a grands pas, nous avons decide de quitter le pays pour continuer nos aventures :)

Apres beaucoup de formalites administratives notament avec notre agence immobiliere, nous avons demissionne de nos jobs respectifs et finalement fete notre depart avec nos nouveaux amis !
 

                      

                                  

                     

But before leaving Australia, we had to go back to Sydney to see our friends JoJo and Hugh and pick up Nathalie's new french passport ! (How cool is it to have a passport issued in Sydney!)

We also met with Nathalie church friend Mera and Nathalies's cousin who is preparing his big move from South Africa to Sydney bringing with him all the family.

Mais avant de quitter definitivement l'Australie, nous avons fait un petit detour par Sydney pour dire au revoir a nos amis JoJo et Hugh et recuperer le nouveau passeport de Nathalie au consulat francais. On en a aussi profite pour render visite a Mera, une amie d'enfance de Nathalie et egalement a Ian, le cousin de Nathalie qui est en train de transferer sa famille d'Afrique du Sud a Sydney pour une nouvelle opportunite professionnelle.
 

                    

 

                                 

 

While in Sydney, the city was transforming in a light and sound show every night. The event is named Vivid, take a look at some shots that night:

Lors de notre passage a Sydney, la ville se transformait tous soirs en spectacle son et lumiere. Le show s'appellait 'Vivid'

 

                     

Time to leave Australia, to catch our next flight to Fiji, we stopped over in Auckland for a few days. Perfect timing as our friend Amanda gave birth a week ago !!! We also catched up with Nat's business school friend Janine, german girl now married to an Hungarian guy both living in Auckland!
