HOLIDAYS AROUND THE WORLD

This is the time to look back at what we have achieved so far. But in the meantime, we are in the holiday mood. The pictures from the holidays in certain countries such as Mexico (camera stolen), Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, India, Sri Lanka and East Timor are currently not available for postings.

The moral of this true story is that if you are born poor and orphaned, but manage to study hard, love hard and work hard, then you can have wonderful holidays! Please believe me, we all can......

Holidays in Switzerland

This is our first time in Switzerland, particularly Geneva. I stopped over in Zurich for a couple of hours in September 1968 on the way to London and Montreal. This time we would stay here not for a couple of hours but 110 days, visiting our daughter who works in Geneva.
