Packing today, then departing by boat late morning tomorrow to Bora Bora airport then fly to Papeete where we will stay the night for a very early start the next morning. We fly to Auckland, meet long lost friends Ross and Beatrice for lunch and then depart for Melbourne at 5.30 pm.
This has been an amazing journey with variety, scenery, extremes of temperatures and great culture at every stop. We have been in trains, planes, buses, boats, snow cats, gondolas, a large ship, ski lifts and many walking trails. We have seen grisly bears, black bears, moose, elk, beavers, bald eagles, hump back whales, deer, mountain goats, long horn sheep, turtles, lobsters and many types of fish and birds.
This may be the last blog for this trip, but watch this space as we are off to Europe for 8 weeks on June 12th.
For those who are not bored with following us around, I can give the details of this next blog if you email me.
Thank you all for the daily emails to keep us in touch with home. We have had a good run with wifi, and hope the next trip is as easy to access.
