Life Story

Denmark

1970's

We had holidayed all over the world - on the way back and forward to Australia we visited Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, Sri Lanka and we had one stop over of a few hours each in Bombay and Muscat - that was enough. We bought a car in California and travelled through the US and Canada for nearly five months. We had a memorable trip to Israel and the Holy Land - two different places. We visited lots of places in Australia and New Zealand. We drove across Australia the year the Eyre Highway was first completed. We visited Kenya, when my brother was there. Starting with our honeymoon in Denmark and Norway, we have managed to cover quite a bit of Europe. There is still a lot of world left to explore.
