For 704 days the borders were closed to international tourism.

704 days!

Today there were moving moments at the airports in Australia when people hugged each other, tears flowed and no one wanted to let go.

There was celebration at the airport: there was music, welcome gifts and everyone was just happy.

We are incredibly happy for all families and friends and can't wait to welcome our guests again.

It should also be said, very personally, that our parents and we have not been allowed to hug each other for 2 years.

We're already sitting on packed suitcases!
