Hello all, We are now in Sydney enjoying this beautiful city. Sydney Aquariam was wonderful - just to take close look at Platypus, Tropical fish from Barrier Reef, Australian Crocodile made our day go by quickly. We are really excited about 2 events we will do tomorrow - Climbing to the top of Harbour Bridge, and watching Opera, Madama Butterfuly at Opera House. More to come. Cheers. Emi

Hello all! We arrived in Perth, Australia today. We forgot what it feels like to be in a climate with less than 90% humidity - WOW, it feels fantastic!! We just arrived but besides enjoying the weather, it also feels like we are back in USA which is also a bit comforting after 3 months in South Asia. We are looking forward to a big steak on barbie. Hopefully, we have chance to post some pics soon. Cheers!
