Sint & Piet in Brisbane

The original idea to go to Australia was about visiting Mike, who moved to Brisbane two years ago. As I was sharing an apartment in Amsterdam with him for a couple of years, I miss him much.
And what better time to share together, than the traditional Dutch Sinterklaas’ celebrated birthday at the 5th of December. With a present of some delicious marsepein (almond paste delicatessen) we smuggled into the country and a traditional Sint & Piet poem we put together on the drive from Byron Bay to Brisbane.
Mike welcomed us with an Aussie tradition; a great barbie (vegan style at Mike’s). And for this very special night, an almost full moon sheds its clear light over the balcony.
It’s so good to see Mike and his boyfriend Dan again. And to see his new home at the funky valley in Brisbane.
Again we spend too short time together before Harry and I hit the road again.
