A homework morning. Finding gabi is struggling with her journal but she's so concerned about her homework! Gorgeous drive through Swiss and Austrian mountains to Germany. Jaz couldn't believe we went through a whole country (Austria) to get to Germany and that we could see the Italian mountains from Austria.
Arrived at eva's after a fabulous appfel strudel afternoon tea in a cute town. I was SO excited to see them that tears started rolling as they welcomed us... it was a special moment. The girls behaved beautifully, I was so proud of them. And loved that they tried their deutsch greeting. Sehr suss. Of course another afternoon tea awaited us, homemade berry cake. Yum, we loved it. Sun was still shining so we all walked to the lake. So pretty. Jaz and Gabs bravely stripped off to knickers and dived in. Fortunately Horst managed to secure a hand towel from the sailing club! Lana was desperate to join them and it was hard work keeping her out of the water!!
Home with starving kids, Heidi served up a delicious meal of knuddle, yummy casserole and asparagus salads. Lan kept it together just, she was so ready for sleep. They think the girls are divine and lana is adorable. 'Sie sind alles so nett', and free spirited. I'm sure they'll see their other sides but first impressions were fab. Heidi and Horst particularly keen mit die kinder. Girls put on a great show of tackling in the garden and we all had a big laugh. After kids in bed, Horst served up some strong apfel cocktails ( can't remember name now). Lovely evening. House looks beautiful and they've gone to lots of trouble, cot and special chair for Lana, and gorgeous meals.
