De regresso a Port Douglas! Back in Port Douglas!

Ja estamos de volta ha mais de um mes. A vida voltou ao normal.. Trabalho, casa; casa, trabalho. O David tem andado muito ocupado com a nova posicao no trabalho e eu tenho trabalhado e feito umas grandes arrumacoes aqui em casa. Entretanto compramos um carro, um Opel Astra :) conduz-se que e' uma maravilha e agora temos mais liberdade do que nunca. Nao sei como vivemos quase 2 anos sem carro. Acho que o facto de vivermos numa vila com apenas 3.ooo habitantes e completamente plana ajudou. Quando chegamos de Portugal o David foi a Sydney visitar a familia por 3 ou 4 dias. Agora chegou a vez de eles nos visitarem a nos, o John, irmao mais velho esta ca a passar uns dias e o Andrew vem ca passar uma semana com a familia dele no final de Setembro, so faltam os pais do David e a irma Margaret.
E e' tudo por agora. Se houver novidades a gente vai escrevendo. Beijinhos a todos!
We've been back for over a month. Life is back to normal. Work, home; home, work. David has been really busy at work with his new position and I've been working as per usual and doing some Spring cleaning. In the meantime we bought a new car, Holden Astra :) it's really nice to drive and now we have more freedom than ever. I don't know how we lived here for two years without a car. I think the fact that there's only 3.000 people in town and it's all flat really helped. When we came back from Portugal David went down to Sydney to visit his family for 3 or 4 days. Now it's their turn to come visit us, John, the eldest brother is here spending a few days and Andrew and his family are coming up during the last week of September. Now we're only missing David's parents and his sister Margaret.
And that's all for now. If there's any news we'll let you know. Love to all!

We are pretty much packed :) We leave Port Douglas on Monday, go out for dinner with a group of friends in Palm Cove and stay there overnight; that way we're closer to the airport in the morning. Our flight leaves Cairns at 10.00! I was checking before and it's about 26.5 hours flying plus stopovers! So close!! Who will be at the airport waiting for us?!
