Summer

Uhm, hi...... It's me..... the person who used to update this blog before.......

I've been super busy but luckily mostly with fun stuff :)

Since the last blog I've been in Holland, Turkey, Lebanon and HongKong.

Catching up with Carolien in Istanbul

The trip to Holland with Izzie went very well. We took a night flight and she happily slept away most of it. She cried in a few short bursts with a maximum of 2 minutes total. Not at all like the baby from hell who we sat next to on the flight back..... He kept on screaming and screeching really loudly. His parents were very nice and I felt sorry for them (and for me and Izzie). Izzie wanted to sleep but her bunk neighbour made that very hard for her. Well yeah, we made it back anyway ;)

Lexie on the train to HK

When I was in Holland I left for a trip to Beirut. I was invited to teach at the LeBAM summer music camp. I had a layover in Istanbul for 7 hours so I took the bus in to town to see Carolien. After a walk, a bottle of wine and some dinner I headed back to the airport. Izzie stayed with grandparents Tummers and I was updated through pictures.

Walking around HK with daddy

The music camp was great. Very tiring as well but I got to meet heaps of cool and nice people.

The last few days of the camp I started to miss Izzie a lot and we were both very happy to be reunited at Dusseldorf airport.

Back to GZ

Just now we were in HK to get some paperwork for Lexie done. We met up with Ans and hung out together. Now I'm pretty tired so I'm planning an easy day.

Reunited with Izzie after Beirut

Enjoy the pics up here. Sorry that they are not in order but this Chinese internet is doing my head in. Sloooooooooow and even slower. Super annoying. I'm just glad I got something posted ;)
