About our trip

Itinerary:

• Our trip starts on November the 8th, 2008.


• We'll fly from Vienna to Taipei, Taiwan and spend a few days recovering from the jet lag.


• On November 14th we fly to Australia, landing in Brisbane.


• We'll probably rent a car and cruise down the through Gold Coast and the other seaside sights.


• After about 8 days, we'll return the car in Sydney, and spend a few more days there before hopping on another plane down to Hobart on the island of Tasmania on November 29th.


• 5 Days nosing around Tasmania shold be enough (as we can't do the heavy treks this time), so then it'll be a flight back to melbourne (a 2-hour flight saves us a bumpy 10-hour ferry ride - this is the sort of element we are adding to make it easier on the kids than our normal all-out travelling style.


• From Melbourne we'll bid farewell to Australia after nearly a month, and on the 11th of December, we'll fly over to Auckland, to start the remainder of our trip in New Zealand!
