Here we are in Australia! Melbourne was great. We saw Wicked which was wicked cool! We went on a day trip down south to the Great Ocean Road. It was cool - the pictures don't do it justice - especially cause you can't tell how WINDY it was!! We saw Koalas and Kangaroos on the Great Ocean Road. The kangaroos are just like deer here - they're all over and they have signs for them on the roads. There are herds of them in the fields munching on grass - funny things. The wild parrots were cool too - though they figured out quickly that we didn't have food for them!
We had some incredible coffee and spent time exploring the city. The food was a marked improvement over Fiji! We saw The Dark Knight at the Imax theater - it was awesome! It's winter here so we're wearing all of our layers at once...
We're in Sydney now and we're wearing our friend's clothes... we met a very nice couple in Fiji that lives here and they have graciously taken us in, given us a bed right on the beach in Coogee, cooked us meals, provided a laundry machine, warm showers, and just all in all a truly wonderful time. We're lucky to have met them! Thanks to Ruka and Nina!!
We've been wandering around Sydney - including a tour of the Opera House and a ferry ride out to Manly Beach. We're thinking that we may head back to the city today and explore some more. Band of Horses plays tonight in downtown (they're the band that plays the song from our first dance - No One is Going to Love you More than I do.) - the show is sold out - so we'll see if scalping happens in Australia... we're counting on it.
We've walked all over and Liz got her hair cut last night! She looks gorgeous. Her new do is chin length and light and airy - she loves it! I'm happy that she decided not to Buzz cut it;)
We're off to Bali tomorrow for 3 weeks! We have absolutely nothing booked - so maybe I'll end this post and go book a place at least for tomorrow night!
Hope you all are doing well - be sure to comment on our pictures or on the blog here and let us know how things are in your lives!! Miss you all!
Mark and Liz
