Vacation Time

For the month of February I was on vacation for 3 weeks, 2 in New Zealand and 1 in Melbourne. The week off in Melbourne was really to recover from the 2 weeks in NZ.

New Zealand

New Zealand is a very beautiful country, as so many visitors have commented on the past. But it’s not until you go there and experience it that you really understand how beautiful nature can be. To see rivers and lakes with absolutely stunning blue water ranging from clear ice blue to Caribbean blue to navy blue. To have backdrop of mountains, trees and water as you walk from your hotel into Queenstown. It’s an absolutely stunning country.

Highlights include: Wandering around the city of Wellington and Queenstown.


A Weekend in Sydney

2 weeks after going to New Zealand, I went to Sydney for the Victoria Labour Day long weekend. Our goal was to have a beach holiday. But we only spent one day on the beach, as on Sunday it rained. But the water at Coogee beach is very refreshing and fun.

I highly recommend anyone visiting Sydney to spend a few days in Coogee and the surrounding beaches, coves and bays.


Next Vacation

Nothing at this time, with the GFC (Global Financial Crisis) and job security it may a while before we head out of Melbourne. Which means I should have more time to blog ?
