From Trinity (edited by Lisa):
We went to Munich, and on our first day we went to Oktoberfest, where we looked around at the rides. India was asleep.We went into a big noisy hall, with a big band and a lot of really drunk people who were dancing and standing on tables. The music was from an Oompah pah band.
We went into a restaurant where we had chicken and chips, and mum ordered a really big beer. Everyone was wearing the national dress, the ladies were in a dress called drindl and looked pretty, and the men's clothes had straps and shorts called lederhosen, which were really cool.
We went on the Ferris wheel after India woke up. I went on a dodgem car for the first time and I bumped into a lot of walls. India got upset because she was too young to go on. We went on horsey's together and had ice cream and love heart necklaces that we could eat.
It was really fun. Trinity writing finishes.
We went to the Deutsches Museum which was perfect fodder for the next day, which was rainy. There was an amazing mining exhibit that was long, and looked as though we were travelling through underground mining tunnels, with different periods of mining technology.
Upstairs there were airplanes, including the first flying machines, huge boats
and even replica space shuttles. Downstairs in the basement was the kids section, with water play, musical instruments and plenty to keep the kids from falling asleep from the jet lag.I then worked for three days of training and the kids got to play with the new toy - an ipad, including movies to entertain them, while a German speaking babysitter looked after them.
We have now arrived in New York to meet up with David. The girls are loving Blueschool, but more on that next post.
