Reflections

Now that we are home after such an amazing trip, we've all done some thinking about our favorite and eye-opening experiences. Favs: 1. Feeding Kangaroos

2. Living in our home exchange in Yeppoon 3. Whitsunday Islands National park

4. Eating croc pizza in campground in Daintree 5. RV night at campground in Mission Beach South

6. Tubing in river in Cairns 7. The glass floor on the viewing deck of Sydney tower 8. Taking the ferry to Manly to cycle the shoreline 9. Learning to throw a boomerang

10. Running in new locales: Sydney Harbour, Fiji Islands Eye openers: Miles: "how friendly people are in Fiji" Colin: "How fast Aussies drive" Thomas: "That croc meat tastes good" Kari: "That they sell all parts of kangaroos...including scrotums!" Tracy: "That the 5 of us slept in a van for a week - about 30 square feet of sleeping space!"

Bula Fiji!

Arrived in Nadi and took 45 min ferry to Malolo Lai Lai Island.

We have been staying in a Fijian resort which is not the typical North American "resort" but loaded with activities and friendly locals!

Have had a wonderful time but looking forward to home, friends and family....flying out tomorrow night.

Spectacular Sydney!

The harbour in Sydney is spectacular! We walked down to the harbour and first enjoyed the impressive aquarium.

We then walked to Circular Quay and caught the ferry for the 1/2 hour scenic trip to Manly.

Once in Manly, we rented fun cruiser bikes and cycled Manly beach. Impressive to see the surfers in the huge waves. Beautiful spot!
