Down Under and Out
I have to start by saying that we did not do Australia correctly. We left our guidebook back home, and we didn’t do a lot of research before we got there. We went back and forth about whether or not to rent a camper van, take busses, drive ourselves in a car, or fly. We thought we would figure it out as we went. It was a strategy that worked for us in Central America (Although the guidebook certainly helped there!). Australia busted our budget and looking back, we wish we would have just flown into Sydney and stayed for a week and then left for Indonesia. We enjoyed our time here, expensive as it was though.
New Zealand – Fin
Three more stops to go in New Zealand and then we fly to Sydney, our favorite city in Australia. One more bus driver change, this time nicknamed Papa G. He’d been driving tour buses for the last 16 years and did one thing I wish the other drivers had done. He stopped the bus frequently to let us take pictures of the beautiful scenery.
Our Elephant Adventure
A little detour from our trip in New Zealand…we’re currently in Thailand and we crossed another thing off of our bucket list…We went to an elephant sanctuary while we were in Chiang Mai and it was amazing! Here’s a video we put together.
