Abenteuer In Deutschland

Herzliche Grusse!

Follow our adventures in Germany as we take off to der Vaterland for an extended visit to friends and family.
We hope to become intimate with the language, the people and the culture as we plunge
into a life in Essen, the Kulturhauptstadt 2010!

Our Cousins



Katharina and Sofia, our patient and loving German cousins, helped us explore the gi-normous Gruga Park on the weekend. It's a stone's throw from our home and resembles a slightly greener version of Adelaide's parklands including pony ride enclosures, health spas, botanic gardens, tropical glass houses, outdoor amphitheatres, adventure playgrounds, sculpture parks, animal nursery, aviaries, exhibition halls and even a wave pool.

Last weekend at the Gruga there was a 3 day music festival, with Sunday dedicated to children's activities. As you can see from the photos Steph and Mia honed their circus skills and even competed in tandem kangaroo races!! Friday and Saturday evening reminded us of our old apartment in North Adelaide - so close were we to the evening fireworks that the girls woke up thinking Essen was being bombed all over again!!
