We are Boerge and Ruth. We are 66 and 65 years old, and we are going to retire at the end of 2011. Boerge has for the last 35 years worked as social worker with foster homes and foster children. Ruth is a lawyer and has the last 25 years worked in the Danish Association of Lawyers and Economists. Our interests are many. Among others we play bridge and golf. We have 3 children who are married and 5 grandchildren.

The journey to Australia and Bali is planned to be the trip of our life. We start in Sydney and have arranged some excursions from Cairns 49 days later. We therefore will have 49 days and 2.900 km for wich we have no specific plans. In Bali we have 18 days, which are not planned. We are looking forward to hear from you with some offers.
