Australia/New Zealand Trip

I'm kind of slow in getting this up, but better late than never, right?  

We really enjoyed our trip and experiences to the lands down under.  We didn't realize how close to Antarctica we would be when sailing around Tasmania at the southern tip of New Zealand.  We became very familiar with the Hop-on Hop-off buses in each city and were able to see so much, like:  lush vegetation, Pohutukawa Tree, Maori Museum, Sydney Opera House, Queen Victoria Building, Wildlife Museum, Botanical Gardens (in several cities), Rod Laver Tennis Arena (home of Australian Open), Bondi Beach, Cadbury Chocolate Factory (Hobart, Tasmania), Fijordlands, Kiwi Farm, nesting habitat of the Gannet birds of 
New Zealand, sheep shearing, Koala, Kangaroos, and not to mention all the activities on the cruise ship.  Here are just a few pictures, but if you really want to know more, just ask to see our movie.
