Our ship sailed 50 kilometers up the Brisbane River to dock in this fun
city. Unfortunately, due to the bush
fires, the air quality was very poor.

We then sailed two days through the Great Barrier Reef Marine Sanctuary to
reach Cairns. It was a visual
treat. In Cairns, we spent the day
walking the city. Got to love the flying foxes.

Note about Australia: All three
stops in Australia brought back wonderful memories. We didn’t want to repeat our past experiences
but have new ones, thus some important sights such as the Opera House in
Sydney, the Blue Mountains, the Daintree Forest, and Kuranda, were not visited
this time. Any first time visitors
though, the above should be on your “must do list”.
Valentine’s Day on the Amsterdam.
We sailed away in the Coral Sea toward New Guinea and new adventures. Going forward, except for Hong Kong, all the
ports are new for us to explore!
Home from NC and had a chance for the first time to read your blog. Sounds and looks as though this trip has been all for which you had hoped and more. You both look healthy and happy. Best Wishes...looking forward to learning of your experiences first hand. All is well with the twins.....already a month old.
