On to Germany

The second part of our summer holiday was 2 weeks in Germany. We took a flight from Bologna to Cologne and stayed with Christian and Til for the first week. They have a great house, are very easygoing and fun to stay with. Other than sitting in their garden, we were busy planning for our event in Cologne. This was a chance for Caroline to invite her family and friends in Germany to a belated wedding celebration. We had hired a room and garden at a local restaurant for the event. We were lucky with the weather and the sun came out to warm us as we had a welcome drink in the garden. About 45 people in total were there and I think they all enjoyed both the food and the relaxed atmosphere. The theatre group put on a great show for us, with their improvisation theatre. Franz even organised some Greek dancing for us, with a traditional Greek wedding dance in a big circle around the garden. Following that weekend, we took the train down to Caroline’s mums, where we stayed for the rest of the week. After four weeks away, we finally flew back home to Stockholm… a good holiday and nice long break.
