Two weeks in Australia

Jules and Willi wanted to go and we chose Australia, specifically Sydney, Blue mountains, and Melbourne.
Cruising around the harbor


The Opera house where we would welcome 2012



Then we were off to the Blue Mountains, where we hiked and dined.




Christmas Dinner

And a Memorial to the convict slaves who built much of the roads, and rail, I like how the locals were just watching


Then it was off to Melbourne, my favorite part of the trip. The city and people were enjoyable and our hotel was the goods. If you find yourself in Melbourne, your highly advised to stay at the Langham.



Inside with the Christmas tree

And in the lobby


At the Cricket games, they had Gatorade bottles on segways



Off to the Yarro Valley to visit some vineyards and grab lunch




Back in Sydney, checking out the artwork?


On New Year’s Eve we went to the Opera house where they put on quite a show


The place had a small club like feel to it, not like the Met, more like the Blue Note or Birdland

And sadly our trip came to end, but fortunately we were headed home, back to the Islands
Here’s our last foto, we went out to the entrance to Sydney harbor


Thanks for checking in, see you on the trails Amigo’s



I put the pics and story on a Prezi, and here it is.
