Boxing Day or 2nd Christmas

In Germany today is known as the second Christmas and unlike in Australia, all shops are still shut. Even the bakeries.

A long sleep in and a slow start was the order of the day with brekky that happened at lunchtime.

Philipp and Vern went for a long walk on the Rhine whilst Katrin and I took the three youngest boys to the climbing centre to burn off some energy. We also checked our helmets and goggles ready for our snow trip on Saturday. This made for some fun bobsled impersonating.

Karla joined us at home for afternoon tea and then dinner where we sampled cheeses from all over Europe. It was quite the tour!

Another wonderful day spending time with wonderful family.Read more
