On my way to southeast Asia from India, I made a little detour down under. I know, not the most direct route to Thailand, but as Jen and I split up for a month, it made sense to use this opportunity to visit some friends in Australia. It was also great to hit south east Australia before it gets too cold. (On the original itinerary, we were planning on being down here in the dead of winter.)
It's been a great month checking out the beautiful cities of Melbourne (which I learned is actually pronounced 'Melbin') and Sydney. I also made a couple excursions with friends here - Phillip Island and the Great Ocean Road in Victoria.
When I first arrived from India, it was a bit of reverse culture shock. Australia's been absolutely luxurious - the wine is amazing, the food is delicious, the people are so friendly, and everything is immaculately clean. I've been getting a bit spoiled by this wonderful place and my generous friends!
But now I'm getting ready to get back on the road and do some more traveling. I'm off to meet up with Jen again and
begin the southeast Asia part of the trip. So hopefully, I'll be a bit better about keepin this travelblog up to date!
