It’s sunny, warm and mostly dry…not exactly your average Canadian Christmas but definitely your average Ballarat Christmas. We had a wonderful early Christmas dinner with a few of Margie’s family. The house was nicely decorated and we had a great turkey dinner.
We’ve had such an amazing time staying with Matthew and Margie. We will miss them terribly and can’t wait for them to visit us next Oct.
It’s hard to believe that 3 months of traveling is over and Christmas is just around the corner. We fly home on Wed., Dec.7 at 11:25 am and with the time change, we’ll actually arrive in Toronto at 8pm (after about 24 hours traveling time). It sure will be great to see everyone when we get home😄.









Ballarat comes alive at night with some awesome Christmas lights. Without snow you can really light up your property.🎄
This is our final post for phase 2 of our year off. Stay tuned for phase 3 – sailing Bahamas style⛵️ – starting in the new year.
