Sunday, December 6, 2009. All In A Sydney Day…Manly Beach to Wicked! November 19, 2009). We all walked away with brutal sunburns after using spray sunscreen. Haha, apparently you have to spray AND rub it in well. We looked like we had random rashes across our sides, chests, and posterior legs from all the spots we accidentally missed. Whoops! Lesson learned the painful way. The shopping on Manly was awesome, great atmosphere, music in the streets, and an entire Ben and Jerry’s ice cream shop! It was like...

Saturday, January 30, 2010. Christmas Week in Adelaide. 8221; Apparently the city of churches isn’t on many travelers’ itineraries. We wanted to explore Adelaide for a few reasons, and although it’s definitely quieter than Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth- we soon discovered many reasons to be extremely thankful we stopped in this little South Australian city for Christmas! We won’t talk about the horrifying bits- like the Aussie taste-test extravaganza they upheld us to (eeeek- Vegemite! V flew to Sydney to ...

Dan's Down Under: Melbourne
http://danielleducharme.blogspot.com/2010/01/melbourne.html
Sunday, January 10, 2010. December 6-12, 2009). To sum up our amazing week in Melbourne is impossible. It was beyond words, as many blessings on our journey have been, but Melbourne particularly won our hearts. It’s been compared by heaps of people to our Vancouver. Straight from our Lonely Planet guidebook, the great intro to Melbourne I read (and was proven to be true):. Hum with life and the city produces some of the best art, music, cuisine (yes, we can attest to this! We were greeted and treated wit...

Dan's Down Under: Rotorua smells like rotten eggs!
http://danielleducharme.blogspot.com/2009/12/rotorua-smells-like-rotten-eggs.html
Sunday, December 6, 2009. Rotorua smells like rotten eggs! Saturday, November 7, 2009. Rotorua, North Island NZ. We separated and did our own thing in Rotorua today. Britt and I took in the glorious Polynesian spas (natural hot springs in Canadian lingo). The outdoor hot pools are naturally fed by all the geothermic activity in Rotorua. It smells like Sulpher, but eventually you become used to the not so favorable aroma of rotten eggs everywhere. 4 is truly the perfect number to travel with. Perfect ...
