Flying time Brisbane to Auckland is 3 hrs. 15\nmin. (approx. &nbsp;3.000 km). The levels of\nfriendship are, however, equal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Australia<\/strong>. To now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\nOn business trips to China, I did around 1976 meet with Wickers Ruwolt\nin Brisbane and Sydney, and in June 1999, we (Hanne and I) passed through\nSydney early morning from 2 tropic years at Western Samoa. Temp. was as unusual\nlow at 12 dgr. C, so hurry up. Back to the tropics at Bali via Jakarta, Tea\nwith rum to fight the flu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Then in 1999, staying in Gen.\nGiab\u2019s villa at the HaLong bay Navy Camp, Vietnam, high over the limestone\nislands of the bay, Scott Proudy and I run into each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Scott was \u201con leave\u201d from 12 years\nof hard work on his \u201cSYDENHAM\u201d farm at Surat\/Roma 500 km in from Brisbane.\nTired of writing the yearly X-mas cards, I based in Bangkok, around 2009\ndecided to visit him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suggested to arrive on bicycle. He had however, he said a visit to his\nIronmonger 400 km away in Toowoomba and forced me to go the 100 km to there and\nwait for him. A brilliant idea, as we drove home early evening got to know each\nother again. Ready to meet with his charming wife, Jennifer, and Scott\u2019s darling\ngirl, Nikita. Today they have four kids, whom I am longing to get to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Two years later, with Hanne,\ngreat hospitality was again shown, especially Hanne was cared for by grandparents\nDorinda and Ennis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; We learnt a lot about the\n\u201cSchwennesen\u201d\u2019s family history. Ennis and his brother Georg have in their\npossession 3 thick books dealing with their life stories, which I look forward\nto deepening? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/4427d-20120311_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3327\" width=\"535\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/4427d-20120311_1.jpg 535w, https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/4427d-20120311_1-201x300.jpg 201w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><figcaption>Hanne and svend Aage on a Quadbike &#8211; Sydenham<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Jennifer and Scott have by now\nleft Sydenham as their first home, and are at his mother\u2019s place? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Where the four youngsters are heading, I\nwill get to know.\n\n\n\n\n\nrn this.wp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia &#8211; 1968 to now &nbsp;&nbsp; Sunrise from my windows here at \u00d8sterbro in Copenhagen is just over the Swedish [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3323"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3323\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itsmesvend.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
