This overview provides some snapshots of the five weeks that we spent in India. In addition to visiting the major cities of Mumbai and Delhi and, of course, the Taj Mahal, we also were able to experience the beauty of two national parks, a spectacular hike in Sikkim through the Himalayas and the charm of Rajasthan.
Brisbane is a very nice city. We enjoyed walking around the downtown area. We also spent time in the Lone Pine Sanctuary and the Australia Zoo (home of the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin).
We are now in Brisbane, Australia. To get here from Delhi was quite an adventure, with three flights and the total elapsed time taking 29 hours from hotel to hotel.
We are now in Port Augusta in the state of South Australia. This city, about 180 miles north of Adelaide, is known as the crossroads of Australia.
We just arrived in the sultanate of Negara Brunei Darussalam (which translated means the Nation of Brunei, the Abode of Peace). Brunei is a quirky place located 1,800 miles northeast of Darwin, Australia on the island of Borneo.
We are currently on an all-night train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. This is the sixth night we will spend on a train during our journey.
We have now been home for a little over four weeks. Lauren and Kristen have gone through all the questions that were sent and answered them.
