Wow. What a contrast in landscape! I had no idea Furnace Creek would be so lush; it's name is a misnomer- Hope you have a great time.

Great story and photos. Can't say that I know the words to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody but will check it out.

Driving
I think it's better to drive through Big Sur the way you did (north to south) because you are on the side of the road closest to the ocean.

Tide Pools
The tide pools are full of sea stars, sea urchins, little fish, several different kinds of anemones. Beautiful plants, too.

Great pictures! I loved the drive- Jim, not so much. We drove south through Big Sur, and realized he would have been better if we had driven south through Salinas, and north up the coast. Of course he wouldn't let me drive-

I'm glad you enjoyed the Steinbeck Center as much as I did. We also did a Steinbeck tour, mostly in Pacific Grove- there were other houses, and stops. I'm going to have to dig up the map- I'm sure, because of all the places you both have been, Point Lobos was a little pale in comparison; we got to watch otters tending their baby in the water, a thrill for us. Looking forward to your other stops-

This is great- Jim and I took this trip several years ago, and loved it. Jim especially like Pebble Beach and the 17 mile drive, but you guessed that already. I hope you go to Salinas, and drive through that agricultural area- We stayed at The Green Gable Inn, in Pacific Grove, our favorite stop.

What now?
Thank you for your kind comments. We met so many nice people in Australia. You are lucky to live in such a wonderful country. We missed seeing a lot of it, so hopefully we will be back some day.

I am like junkie hooked on reading about your travels. Where am I going to get my fix now?? But seriously Joe and Judy, I enjoyed your trip nearly as much as you. My only regret is that we did not cross paths in Australia. I hope you settle in at home and return to the southern lands again in the not too distant future. We welcome nice people in Australia.

We are never ready for a trip to end. It's a big world out there and it is just so much fun to see new places, meet new people, and experience other cultures.

Judy- I sense the melancholy in your last two posts, and I'm surprised you didn't go on to Fiji. Traveling seems to suit both of you-

For Connie Lukeman
Thanks, Connie. I'm sure we'll see you soon. But, we won't make you look at all these photos again. Would rather get back out on your Whaler...guess it might be a little cool for that.

Thanks, Tom
Thanks for the compliment. Made me feel good, especially since most all of the entries were written the 20 minutes each night before I fell asleep. It was a good way to wind down after a full day. Finding a cheap internet connection to upload them was much more difficult. That was why I'd send so many out on one day.

I'll Miss your Blog
Hi guys, I see you are coming home on the 16th, and I just want to let you know how much I've enjoyed reading your blog and seeing your photos each day. I'm miss my vicarious Down Under/ NZ experience. Judy: You are a fine writer! Thanks for the fun. Tom

those cows!
I think they are a Scottish breed called Belted Galloways. Coromandel Peninsula looks lovely!

Wow! I have been saying that a lot about your photos, but these are spectacular- You are looking at volcanoes; I am shoveling 8" of snow so it doesn't turn to rock hard ice overnight. Hmmm...

The ferry took us from the South Island of NZ to the North Island. We will be here until we go back to CA on Dec. 16. Pupu Springs are not hot springs, just glorious beautiful freshwater springs....no swimming allowed though. Glad you are the one doing baking and not me.

That is unbelievable; do the rangers have any theory about the rocks? I can see why the tracks are permanent, but...
