Oz through your eyes
I always find it interesting to hear the perspective of those that visit -v- those that stay longer on our shores. It always depends on what one does and attitude as to how one finds finds it. Brisbane comes with extreme variants in weather as does Melbourne. The one constant is the desire to hug koalas. Maybe I should take more visitors to animal huggings than bush bashings in future. Enjoy Oz...it's bigger than you think!

What a contrast!
Glad the last half of your stay with filled with wild adventures, and sorry the first half dragged on, though I guess you had lots of time to prepare delicious Polish food. You'd been on Asian money mode, so for sure shocking to pay $30 for pierogis--yikes! I've been in Peru for a couple of years and dread returning to the US for that same reason--sticker shock! Love the wild, exotic animals, all the great parks and festivals. Brisbane sounds great!

Sperm Whale Waving Goodbye
Hi Anna, enjoyed this account of your visit to Kaikoura... it really is a beautiful place isn't it? Very envious of your shot of the Whale Fluke too. We didn't do one of those trips when we passed through some years ago because they just seemed a bit beyond our means... being the tight backpackers that we were. Wish we had done one now... worth it for a photo like that. Ah well - next time perhaps!

Sperm whale waving goodbye
Thanks guys. Happy to hear you enjoyed my blog. The whale tour was pretty tough on our budget also and if we were spending a month in NZ rather than few days, we probably would've skipped it due to its price as well... Very happy we decided to go ahead with it though. Totally worth it! And it's one in a life time probably...who knows...

New Zealand
An amazing country. It is still Dave's favorite. The two times I've been there I spent a month and both times said I needed to stay longer next time. Hopefully that will happen. There is beauty around every corner. You've captured the essence of the country in your wonderful photos. Eager to read more.

New Zealand
Gotta get back there. I often say its the World's second most beautiful country (Chile is my number 1) and its so close to Sydney. Gotta get back there. Must be nice for Grant. Enjoy your time there.

Thanks Dave. Now certainly Chile got my attention! Only saw a small part of New Zealand and there are still many more beautiful places to explore there... So I do need to get back there as well...

Gorgeous Kiwiland
I've always wanted to go to NZ, and you've certainly whet my appetite! How great to that trekking mountains are so close to the city, and that the next day you got to see a whale, dolphins, seals and that weird seaweed. Glad to hear Christchurch is being creative in its recovery too. Hope you can get back in shape in Oz and then do and blog of some fab trekking in those southern Alps.

life in Oz
Thanks Bob! I had pretty high hopes for a future with Grant as well... Never thought we would settle in Australia though... Quite far away from home... Still Oz seems like a great place, full of sun... and opportunities... Hoping it will bring even more happiness into our lives! Regards

Signs
When we travel we love taking photos of odd signs. We wrote a blog about signs. You should check it out.

Signs blog
I do pay attention to odd signs as well. It's incredible how even simple road signs differ from country to country... I loved your blog - great topic and even better collection of unusual signs!

And now the land of OZ
Anna. If you hit Sydney take a moment to drop a message to the Dancing Ones...see if we can make it worth your while...nothing like hangin' with some locals & stuff.

Hangin' with locals
Thanks Dave! Yep, nothing better than hangin' with locals for sure! No plans to go to Sydney in the near future, but have no doubt it will come up in my itinerary sooner or later... So don't be surprised if you hear from me then! Regards

The wildlife
We loved our 2 months in Australia and wish we could go back. Love this photo. So much to see and to do. Eager to read more. Love hearing your impressions in high school and what you think now that you are there.

Civil unrest
Thanks Dave and Merry Jo! As you say it did stay relatively controlled at the time... Just in case we were very cautious about getting involved in the protest though.

You never know if these protest will stay calm the way they anticipate. One wrong move can change the entire tense situation. I'm glad it stayed relatively controlled. Congratulations on your camera and netbook repair. Looking forward to reading more.
