And we're off! First stop Syd-a-nee! What a way to commence our grande Canadian tour than with a farewell night with our dearest friends Ilona and Tim including a lovely dinner with views of the Harbour Bridge. And we're glad we did come into Sydney the day prior as we woke on our departure day to a pea soup fog! Bill gave me the 'I told you so' look as I thought we could probably come into Sydney on the morning of departure (ok, so he's been right for the first time EVER!)
