Travel Review: Australia & New Zealand Vacation, Sydney, Melbourne, Queenstown, Ayers's Rock, Great Barrier Reef Snorkeling

In Australia, snorkling in the Great Barrier Reef was amazing!  Its definitely a must for anyone visiting.  I am terrified of being in big bodies of water and of sharks, but was never afraid while snorkeling in the reef.  We never saw any sharks but the tour guide assured us that the sharks you see are not the kind you would expect and that they are too afraid of you to let you get close.  In the end I was searching everywhere for a shark and was surprisingly disappointed that I didn't see one.

In New Zealand, the most memorable and beautiful place not only on this trip up anywhere Ive ever been was Queenstown.  There were snow capped mountains everywhere and any excursion/activity you could think of was there.  I will definitely be visiting there again.
