Converted Aussie Valtteri Bottas and partner Tiffany Cromwell departed Victoria's southern shores after Christmas to head east across the Tasman Sea to ring in the New Year in New Zealand.
On the island country, the couple hooked up with former Toro Rosso charger and three-time Le Mans winner Brendon Hartley and his wife Sarah for some post-New Year detox cycling and hiking adventures inland, around Taupo.
But whatever the time or place, there's never a bad moment to share a toast among good mates!
