New years post

Belated happy new year everyone! End of December Lina and August finished their internship here in Hobart and got ready for their next stop: Sri Lanka.  It was great to have you here, we are looking forward to our next visit, especially those fishing trips together ;-)
Meanwhile, we had a nice and relaxed New Years Eve at Carlton with some friends and since the 6th January Frank found his way to Hobart after having travelled around Asia.

Not a bad size

New Years Surf
 Wabbly blown out waves, no sunshine, but we dipped into the water anyway, just because, hehe.

 Not a bad dining spot, hey.

Sleepy time :-)

Eaglehawk Neck
No, that's not a Great White and no, we didn't catch it. We watched a game fishing boat pulling this Mako Shark into their boat.
