Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

We had an early morning flight to Sydney where we caught our flight home after a 2 hour layover. It is bittersweet. I miss everyone at home but at the same time I think I'm leaving a little piece of me in Australia and NZ.

Things I learned in New Zealand:

After 35 TravelPod postings, 47 Things you've learned, thousands and thousands of miles travelled all I can say is "well done Liz" - I've sent a package to the house "grasshopper" so you can now move on to the next step in your travel blog evolution. One question, did you ever try "vegamite" for breakfast in Australia. Thanks for all the insight, this will be very helpful to us come October.

Thanks Bob. As a matter of fact we did try Vegemite. I never aquired a taste for it but Vic created a sensation by combining it with honey and/ or peanut butter and/ or jam. He had it every morning. The Aussies thought he was crazy!
