tasmania

My soul danced in me the day we met…

For one whole month, Craig kept details of our fifth wedding anniversary getaway under wraps.  I was forbidden from probing and pestering for any additional information apart from the place being nippy.  He had me believe  it was a road trip up sunny north until the morning he packed in his mohair scarf for an “island holiday”.

Snow does fall in July… if you’re a thousand metres above sea level, in Tasmania!

We clocked some fourteen hundred kilometres for three days and relished incredible pinch-me perfect landscapes.  Craig says the most fun part though was witnessing one surprise after another unfold for me.  From early in the morning when I opened the front door to find a taxi waiting to take us to the airport, to the special places in Tasmania he had chosen to take me to celebrate five roller-coaster-fun years together.

And still my favourite spot in the world… is in your arms.
