3 months on
It's now been 3 months since we arrived on the evening of 13th September. This seems like much longer ago as life has been so different over this period and I guess we've all been doing a lot too! So we thought we would mark the occasion with a summary of the main things we like here so far, and some things that are not so good:

Things we like:
- waking up to blue skies and warmth
- the beaches and harbour views
- positive, friendly people
- the wide roads and (mostly) free flowing traffic
- public transport (buses and ferries)
- lots of things going on in and around the city
- the hills, giving views across the coast and city
- getting bags packed for you at the supermarket checkout
- lack of Christmas shopping mania!

And some things we don't like so much:
- missing family and friends
- potentially dangerous wildlife and sea!
- not getting to the beaches enough (at the moment)
- American-style TV and news
- long waits at traffic lights to get onto the main roads
- the hills, when cycling!
- still getting dark at 8pm in the summer.

However, we were struggling to come up with much on the second list, which is a good sign!
