About to leave


Cold and snowy with a drizzly wind - just how we like it when we leave for the southern hemisphere. Alister had the bright idea of heading out to the airport already at 10 am to check in the baggage and get our boarding cards. We were lucky that the check in staff apparently didn't record the weight of the first (and heaviest) suitcase and we came to a total of 72 kg - phew! Mattéo was with Alister to help whilst Delphine and Juliette finished preparing the house. The night before, Alister, Mattéo and Juliette went swimming until 2200 and the kids woke up at 0930 - looks like the jet lag plan is working ...
In the afternoon we went to Café Voila (Haidhausen) to spoil ourselves with a last late brunch and now we are about to leave on the 1900 S bahn out to the airport.
