Our trip to SF - July 2017

Our second trip lead us to San Francisco together with our grandchildren, who used to live in Bethesda Maryland

It was a so-called home-exchange, a retired couple from California came to our home to Budapest, while we could spend two weeks in their wonderful house in San Francisco.

We "had" a nice Victorian house…

with a beautiful garden

Excursion to the Muir Woods

We stayed in the beautiful Victorian home of Jim and Diane for two weeks, together with our two grandsons (8 and 10 years old). Diane and Jim prepared our stay perfectly, with detailed instructions for using the house and program recommendations for all of us (including a baseball game). It was a perfect venue to explore San Francisco and its neighbourhood (Muir Woods, Muir Beach, Sausalito, Yosemite Park, etc.) and we felt like going home, returning back to Jim`s and Diane`s house. It was a particular joy to spend time in the tiny Japenese garden and we also enjoyed very much the art works and art books reflecting to the worldwide travels of Jim and Diane.

Our trip to Jamaica January 2017

Our first visit lead us to Jamaica.

Nice country, phantastic nature with the Ocean, good weather even in January, warm water, tasty fruits, Jamaican breakfast in the hotel and live Music in the evening with Bob Marley Songs.

Absolute poverty, no navigation, traffic is terrible, by the way left-wing transport. On the third day we asked a local driver to drive our rented car. He was a very good driver and a local guide.
