Sydney

After the visit to Toronto I had this feeling that the gate of the world was wide open and I can, after all those long years of European travel,  really expand to the rest of the world. I knew that after Sydney it will be Singapore and then India. I booked the same flight as Barbara did a month ago - Air India - starting from Paris. Before landing in Sydney we stopped in Geneva, Kuwait, Delhi, Bombay, Singapore, and Perth. In some places we just refuelled, in other places we had to take a luggage and board another plane. The flight took 36 hours, I had no idea when it was the day and when was the night. Anyway, I couldn't wait to see Sydney, but even more than that,  I was looking forward to seeing Barbara (well, that was our longest term being apart in our married life.....). Barbara was waiting for me at the airport.

Happy couple (with 3 sisters behind us)	With my new hat	We spent a fabulous weekend at Barbara's friends Linda and Ron (2 and half hours by car from Sydney). This is a view from their garden which was attached to the salt lake. Ron was fully equipped for water sports (a speedboat included)	The next day I took a challenge - Ron was in charge of the boat -  I was in control over the skis. I did a lot of snow skiing in the past, but it was pretty different on water
