LIVIN' IN AN ILLUSION

We have now settled to our temporary home at Gold Coast, Mermaid Beach, Queensland, Australia. We are experiencing a bit how it would be to actually live here, normal daily routines, and so on. This was our goal also in the beginning of our trip, to just stay in one place for a while (gonna be 5 weeks), to just live like an ordinary family, only in Australia.

Gold Coast has been terrific. After we landed from Auckland and slept the first night here, realized how tired we really are from all the traveling. So it was about a time to stop!

We have our daily routines now.

Wake up at 6.30.
Porridge & Morning coffee (milk) 6.45
Giggle & Hoot at 7.00-9.00.
Beach, sleep in a pram, playground 9.30-16.00.
Giggle & Hoot 17.00-19.00
Brushing teeth 19.15
Sleep 20.00-6.30

Yesterday we heard that in our very nearby canals and rivers there are sharks. So no swim there! They are Bull sharks. We didn't witness any so far and I hope it stays that way.

Our great trip lasts only for 1 month further from today. 2nd July we fly from Sydney to Singapore and take a ferry to Bintan, Indonesia. We stay there for 4 nights before our flight to Helsinki.

But before that, we live in this illusion for another 3,5 weeks!
