Australia, Antarctica, and Africa

Ugh, how do I start this? Right, so, our first flight (the one that I had to get up at 3:00 in the morning for) was cancelled (effectively), so that stuffed up all of our plans. We had to move all three of our flights, and ended up staying overnight in Sydney. It wasn't that bad though. We saw the opera house (which was pretty cool), and went to the botanical gardens. Dad had just bought a new camera, so we all took turns with that. There were lots of cool birds, and a very confident kookaburra. Here are some of the pictures, but not from dad's camera, as we haven't downloaded them to the laptop yet:

After staying for the night, we had a 15 hour flight to Johannesburg, South Africa. For some part of this flight, we were over Antarctica, and everyone on the plane was taking pictures (including me). Here are the ones I took, just as we reached the edge of an ice shelf:

When we got to Johannesburg, it felt like midnight so we just crashed in the BnB. Our last flight was at 9:30 the next morning. This one was only 2 hours, and took us to Windhoek, Namibia. We flew over land, and I took yet more pictures. 

Now we're in our hotel in Windhoek, and will stay here for the next three days, so we can get over our jet-lag. We get our car in a couple of days, and the we set off into the bush! Well, first into the desert.
