Goodbye, Oz!

Today is our last day in upside-down future land. We have had a marvelous time in Australia, a wonderful honeymoon. It has strange to visit a country *younger* than the US, since most of our travels have been to places much older.

We spent several days in Melbourne; spotted the most amazing wildlife (s0me 0f it by the side of the road!); flew to Sydney to gaze at the bridge and the opera house; and drove down and around the southeastern coast of the continent.

The landscape is breathtaking, the kangaroos and koalas adorable, and ocean beautiful. We want to come back and swim in the sea (we neglected to bring/rent wet suits). We want to see the interior and the red, dry landscape. And we want to drink more of the delicious wine.

Australia has been wonderful and we couldn't have had a more delightful albeit belated honeymoon.

Thanks, upside-down future land. Being here, we know that the future will be grand.

How lucky that you went to Australia for your honeymoon. I have always wanted to go to Australia but I'm still waiting for my chance to fly there. I've really enjoyed all your posts about Australia, great pictures!
