Christmas came, and with it a lot of friends and family. They arrived early for our wedding which happened on January 5th on Waiheke Island, a 30min ferry ride east of Auckland. Yay!

Thanks guysfor all the good wishes!
Well, there is also a short (10min) movie, shot by Marius and edited by me.
For a few weeks after the wedding we had guests in our home in central Auckland, and I travelled with my family a bit across the north and south island while Liz stayed in Auckland with her family.
It was wonderful to have friends from all over the world around for the wedding, but having guests for six weeks straight and making sure everybody is having a good time was also very tiring. It took us two weeks to recover and we're still busy following up on things that we had to let lie (like lots of emails and greeting cards and some administrative stuff).
Other then that we've settled into a routine here and don't miss life on the boat. Liz is writing on her book and doing some UX consulting on the side. I'm writing computer games and continue my diving training (TRIMIX at the moment).
A huge hug with lots of love from Uli
