After 17.5 hrs from San Francisco we land in Singapore. The most beautiful airport, so decorative for Christmas. Since it's overnight, we have a tiny room for about 4 hrs of sleep, I think I got 30 minutes. The Singapore airplane was even decorated. The stewardesses were so beautiful.Meer informatie

CAIRNS (pronounced “Cans”), AUSTRALIA
Queensland's seaside resort town, Cairns is the gateway to a rich array of natural beauty onshore and off.
Catamarans and other ships take marine lovers to the Great Barrier Reef; stretching for 1,400 miles, it is the largest continuous coral reef system on Earth. Inland, the wet tropics have given rise to Daintree and Kuranda National Parks, vast rainforest systems of extraordinary biodiversity and a profusion of birdlife. For all its appeal to outdoor enthusiasts, Cairns' thriving culture is a pleasure to absorb from outdoor cafés or along the scenic waterfront promenade. The city's rich history lives on in its many heritage-listed buildings and memorials, many of them lining popular Abbott Street.Meer informatie

Sydney (New South Wales) Australia
28 december 2022, Bass Strait ⋅ 🌬 63 °F
A sunny beautiful day walking around the pier, ferry boats went back & forth all day transporting people around the harbor. We walked to the Opera House, watched them setting up for New Years Eve, did some shopping in an area called The Rocks, a district named for the sandstone from which its original buildings were made, once hosted drunken sailors & ex-convicts, now shops & markets. Got 13,000 steps in. We will have to come back, too much to see. Extremely clean and friendly place. They are expecting over a million people on New Years Eve!Meer informatie
