It is exactly one week since I am here in Fremantle/Western Australia.
What a great week I had.

Felt the sun on my bare feet.
We made delicious pizza in the pizza oven.
Went for a swim in the Indian Ocean at 8.30 in the morning and I loved it so much.
Enjoyed every bit of sun, I am not a big lying-in-the-sun-at-the-beach-person but I love the brightness of it.
Had toasted fruit bread with butter and yogurt and fruits for breakfast. Hmmm...
Painted teapots with Will's wonderful mom in her studio. They are about to get burned and I can't wait to put the second colour layer on them.
Went on a road trip Down South to Bunker Bay. We drove through mystic looking forests, have been at the most beautiful beaches, got amazing fresh-baked bread from a German baker down there and also went to Leeuwin Lighthouse where the Southern Ocean meets the Indian Ocean and listened to great music while being down there.

I had a fantastic week with so many wonderful and unforgettable moments. About which I will write later.

We will be in Sydney and Melbourne next week and I look really forward to being there, catching up with friends, having good food and just a wonderful time.

Hope you are all well.
