Finally ... Capetown ...

Yes, finally tomorrow the day for me and Marc will arrive to leave wintery Austria and fly to Capetown. Richard and Hanna are already enjoying the sun, swimming in the pool and playing on the beach! Richard got sunburnt on his back. He claims it is Hanna's fault - she was supposed to cream his back but instead felt very arty and made handprints with suntan cream. As a result, you can see white handprints on red background on Richard's back :-).

I can't wait and I wish I would be able to beam us down there in less than 1 second instead of sitting in the plane for 12 hours!

Have a great day!

Carneval

Since about 1 week before Christmas Hanna was looking forward to the Carneval season. Carneval is quite a big thing in Austria. You dress up and go out to partys. Already the children love to dress as a princess, cowboy, clown or whatever they can imagine. Until a day before the Children's carneval party here in Henndorf Hanna wanted to dress up as a Monster. It took me quite a bit of persuation - in the end she dressed as cat. Marc was dressed as a pirate - he didn't have much of a choice! They both had a wonderful time on the party!

Tomorrow is the next big day - Richard and Hanna are leaving for Capetown for a looong holiday. Marc and I will follow on the 8th. I can't wait. I am imensely looking forward to the warm weather and the off-work-time and to Michelle and George's wedding.

We will keep you up to date!
Have a great day!
