Finally arrived at Nyon in Switzerland after travelling from Milan Italy and a myriad of pit stops and a visit to the Mont Blanc region. Here we met up with a dear old friend Vish and his family Seema and their kids Aryian and Lyla.
It was so good to see them, it's been so long since their last visit to Australia back in 2009. It was also great to get to know Seema a little better and finally meet his kids as Seema was pregnant with Aryian last time we met and it was short at that.
Lyla wasn't feeling the best during our visit and as kids do when they are sick kept both Vish and Seema from their sleep.
To take load off to give Seema a break; Carmel and I were only too happy to take Ari out for the day so he could take us to his castle which he liked so much. Poor Vish still had to go to work and battle through the day. Although working life in Switzerland is quite different to Australia, they are more flexible with their working hours and have up to 2 hours for their lunch break to spend time doing sporting activities or spend time with their family, this was good for Vish as he lived close to work and could come home and spend more time with us.
It was really great spending time with Vish's kids, Ari was a real card and always had a smile on his face, he was a smart little chooky for a boy who is almost 3 as he will tell you. Lyla was little miss independent and I could see that she had Vish wrapped around her little finger as she was daddy's little princess!
Our time was short in Nyon and we would have liked to spend more time there. Vish and Seema's hospitality and making us feel so welcome made us want to stay longer but unfortunately we had a schedule to keep, I'm sure we will visit again some day.
