Australia

WOW. New Years in Sidney. Very cool experience. I feel so lucky we got to live it.  The number of people waiting for those 12 minutes of fire works was insane. To top it, the road trip to Melbourne brought up a pleasant surprise in the small town of Corowa, with Circa 1936, a small hotel with the best hospitality yet.  All that followed by Melbourne!  I loved Melbourne. A very vibrant city, it was a hit.  Even if the vibe is familiar to North American culture, the panoply of things to do impressed me and made it easy to be a tourist (circus, casino, dinner cruise, criquet, strippers, magic show, great restaurants…).  I could easily live in that city or… go back for a, eventual, well knowed tennis tournament!
