Karin finally made it (Toronto-Minneapolis-Los Angeles-Fiji-Sydney!



It was a long flight but well worth the journey. A sunny blue sky, a friendly Aussie greeting followed by a 5 hour walking tour of Sydney escorted by Barbara and Ray and here we are with Michelle and Tobi enjoying that glass of chilled Verdehlo, a fresh salad and a steak in the Enchanted Garden (the backyard) accompanied by orchestrated sounds of frogs....It is amazing here. So clean, so beautiful, and no snow.

Karin is exhausted but too excited to sleep. Miss you all but the Aussie adventure begins! Tomorrow is a tour around Sydney again - The Rocks, The Aquarium and whatever comes our way.

Cheers mate. G'day!

It continues to be cold here -29 wind chill but feels warmer than yesterday.. UGLY weather.

Keep posting to the blog so that we can enjoy your vacation as well.

Glad you made it safe and sound Karin. Sounds like you are already enjoying the landscape, weather and company. Just to make you feel really good about the weather there ... today it is -30 with the wind chill. It is so cold the dog doesn't even want to go outside !

Have fun sightseeing Sydney. Cheers. The other Karen in the family

Hi Karin,
I'm glad to hear that you arrived safely and are enjoying warmer weather. Today I waited 15 minutes for my bus in -30C (with wind chill) weather. Brrr!
