Xmas in Australia

 

I have to say that I am really happy that my wife has always supported me wholeheartedly in this Clipper Race adventure. When I told her about it and I asked her "Am I crazy in trying to do this?", she replied "You'd be crazy if you did not go for it", so I am really thankful for her outstanding support.

But I also decided that it would be great if there could also be something that could help her enjoy this adventure as much as I plan to do, so we decided that she would join me when I arrived in Australia and that we would spend one month there, enjoying an Australian Xmas. She immediately warmed to the idea and is looking forward to meeting me there and enjoying these holidays.

So, if all goes well, I should be arriving in Australia in a couple of years from now, ready to receive Santa Claus in the beach, with a coctel in my lap!

Our plan is to spend a few days in the surroundings of Perth, in the area where we will arrive and then travel to Sidney. My wife is an opera lover, so we plan to join the gala that the Sydney Opera House celebrates each New Year's Eve, it is an expensive event but worth it for a once in a lifetime experience. We'll finally travel to the Whitsundays to do some scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef and ready to receive the Clipper fleet as they arrive after navigating around Australia.

I think that this will be an outstanding end to an already outstanding experience. Can't wait!!
