This year we decided to stick with what we know works and go to Leederville again for NYE. We had a pretty big group going together including high school friends, friends from work, and Yvonne and Carina, our cousin who I remember as tiny baby. We used our place as a base just in case we struggled to get an Uber so that we had the train as a backup, but managed to get 3 really easily.
We arrived at 7:30pm which in hindsight was a little bit early although we managed to get an awesome table in The Garden part that we held on to the entire night. We explored in small groups throughout the night and did the countdown at the Blue Flamingo again.
It was a really great night, definitely worth the $70 although this year the food was a bit less diverse than 2 years ago and the music was a bit samey in all of the different sections of the venue. Unless something clearly better comes up next year I think I'll try organise the same thing again for NYE 2019!
Here's some other snaps from the holiday season, including Christmas lunch at my parents, Christmas dinner at Claire's and Yvonne's visit. As usual we got spoiled with great presents this Christmas, and Claire did an awesome job hosting dinner at her place for the first time, although we missed Michael and Iva who were in Serbia this year. I just said goodbye to Yvonne who's leaving for Switzerland tonight, it was a short stay but I think we made the most of it.
I can't believe I'm back at work tomorrow already, I'm definitely not mentally prepared for the 8:30am meeting first up!
