Parties and other festivities

Let's start with all the things that were to be celebrated in the last few month, and some other occasions that had less obvious reasons:

Rugby World Cup
We have of course also joined in the Rugby-Crazyness that captured all NZ during the Rugby World Cup. We went to the Ireland-Italy match here in Dunedin's new stadium and joined some friends at a BBQ before. As you can see on the pictures almost every one was supporting Ireland who also won the game in the end. But after 6 or so weeks of nerve-wrecking Rugby-watching NZ's All Blacks won the World Cup and NZ was happy ever after ... (or at least for the next 4 years)!

Tom's 28th Birthday
We celebrated with a Cordon bleu dinner!

Melbourne Cup

Tom went to the horse races with hit boss and was raving afterwards about all those "hot chicks" ;)

"Betriebsausflug" with Farra

Tom's company organized a charity trip with the Taieri Gorge Railway and took Luci, Erica, Noelia and Erica's brother along!

Terminator Party

Tom is sometimes called "Arnie" at work - whether it is for his muscles or accent remains open. But it inspired us to invite some of his colleagues for a "Terminator Party"!

Christmas-Party in Luci's lab

Luci's 30iest

Tom had organized a surprise party with some Dunedin friends on the evening of my birthday! Thanks for the fun and yummy food!
