December 2000 @ the Pig Yard

We have returned from our visit to the colonies (Australia and USA). Our 4 weeks were broken up into 4 sections. We spent one week with our friends Ian and Sue in Queensland, a few days in Sydney, a week with Jane's sister, Ruth, in Tasmania and finally a week with Steve's brother, Clive, in San Francisco.

Ian and Sue's home, an hour North of Brisbane, was our home for a week. We felt completely relaxed on their 40 acre plot.

Any visit to Sydney would not be complete without visiting the Opera House.

Tasmania must be one of the most unspoilt areas in the world. Wine glass bay pictured here is only accessible by walking over a steep ridge for one and half hours.

San Francisco is a city of many charms, and Steve's brother helped us to fit into city life very quickly.

We were greeted with a powdery layer of snow on our arrival home. At least the skies were blue even if the temperatures remained below freezing for several days.
