X-mas in Sydney

Officially Australians only celebrate 1 day of Christmas (the 25th of December, Christmas Day). The 26th (Boxing Day) is a public holiday but not a real day of celebration like in Europe.

On Christmas day we had a long lunch at out friend Mark's place with some other guys. We had planned to do a picnic in the park, but the weather made us divert inside.

On Boxing day, Sale started in downtown Sydney so we took a stroll towards Myer and DJ's but it was just too crowed. Later that afternoon our friends from Holland Aukje, Arthur and their 3 girls came over for dinner. They migrated to Australia in August, are still travelling around and happened to be in the Sydney area. We had a great BBQ dinner with them. We had chicken skewers, giant king prawns and baby octopus on the barbie. Ofcourse Aukje also wrote about it on her Blog.
