The space needle pic is Auckland, New Zealand.  We boarded ship in Sydney Australia and ended up in Auckland.

The Kayak'er is just outside of Melbourne, Australia.

Beautiful flowers in every location, lots of Botanical Gardens.

When my wife told me the beaches were "topless" there, this is not what I had in mind!

These two ocean shots were of Bondi Beach, Australia.  It is a surfing village just outside of Sydney.

These four shots were taken down the coast of Australia possibly not too far from Cairnes.  It's like being in the tropics with bannanas, kiwis, lemon's and other fruit growing.  Of course it is in the northern part of Australia not the south where it  is cold down there.
