Summer 2010-2011– 7 November 2010 to 10 March 2011

We spent the antipodean summer enjoying Thanksgiving and Christmas with our children and friends in the United States.

We had a holiday in Nassau on New Providence Island in the Bahamas which we enjoyed very much.  We stayed in the old fashioned Colonial Hilton with a great view of Nassau Harbor.

The trip to Ships Passage Cay had the best organized, safest snorkeling program we have ever been on.

We were glad to be away from the floods and cyclone Yasi in Australia.  It was good to return to Kunda Park to find that our caravan was safe and dry. We had selected the storage facility carefully, it was high up on a hill and beyond any possible flood and behind a mountain to give some protection from cyclones, which fortunately went further north this year.
