Australia, Hawaii and then home.

Hi all blog readers, sorry for the break but we have been two busy bees.
After departing Vietnam we headed for Malaysia and spent a week in a Muslim resort that had no alcohol, people or up keep program...really spoiled after Vietnam. We did enjoy our time walking and on the beach and found a place or two to have beers.
We are now in Australia, arrived on the west coast in Perth and traveled south to the wine country of Margaret River. We visit a cave which was very cool and spent time watching the surfing and visiting a few wineries. We spent a few days in Perth where we had our most expensive beer of the whole trip ($17.50 for a pint of draft).
We then traveled to Brisbane and spent a couple of days with Judy a women we met on our Vietnam tour. Had a great visit with her and then flew north to Cairns and are now in Port Douglas on the north east coast- visiting and touring the Great Barrier Reef. It is beautiful, but very hot(32 c) and 90% humidity. We leave here in a couple of days and head back to Brisbane and will drive the gold coast for a few days.
From Brisbane we will head to Melbourne and meet up with 5 or 6 of the gang from Vietnam to celebrate Australia Day and Tet. We have booked a camper van and will tour the coast from Melbourne to Sydney for two weeks and then we will fly to Hawaii to meet up with Carol and Paul as a conclusion to our adventure.
We arrive home on February 16Th after four months and the most amazing experiences. We hope to see you all soon.
