We have reached the end of our trip. Today you get two, two two days in one. We are picking up a day going home, so this is a one day/two day blog.
We are at the airport ready to fly away home - business class again.
What a journey: 35 Days - - 27,000 miles
We slept around
14 hotels
3 private houses
1 igloo (not really, just a VERY COLD room)
2 boats two mini rooms
1 castle
1 townhouse
1 train
We schlepped around
12 flights
6 cars
2 trains
1 monorail
2 subways
1 gondola
2 ferries
4 boats
19 coaches (and buses) back and forth, to and fro, hotels, tours, airports
We were high up in the mountains and low under the water.
There were highlights:
New Zealand scenery
Southern night sky
Great Barrier Reef diving
And some lowlights:
This was no Italian food fest
Lots of airport screenings
And we continued our almost 10 years of gin games.
Not once did we hear Waltzing Matilda and only one museum (not necessarily a proud thing, just another statistic), however we did see two great exhibitions at the Sydney Library, one photographic (school kids' work), and Aboriginal tree carvings.
Tired? We are. But it was great.
Now on to our photographs.
