Alto Adige and the mountains

Written by Nadine Zangerle on . Posted in Italy

I just arrived at home when I did some packing for my next trip. Together with my parents and my sister we wanted to drive to my aunt and uncle in the northern parts of Italy. My cousin’s baby would get baptized.

This is when I saw Maya, Danni’s baby and Miriam, Thommi’s little one, the first time. Everyone was surprised since they thought I am still in Vanuatu, in the south pacific.

As usual Uncle Albert took us into the mountains and it was fantastic. The weather was on our side and in our hotel we could relax afterwards in the sauna. We enjoyed the big variety of the breakfast buffet.

I am surprised that I didn’t gain 10 kg after all this awesome food. The great “Vespern” with parmesane and bacon at my Aunt Elisabeth, this unforgettable Pizza at the Rosmarin Restaurant and on Elisabeth’s birthday we had so many different Knödel, just unbelievable. Sorry Michael that you missed out on this feast.

Luckily we did a lot of exercise. We hiked at the Speikboden and Klausberg and enjoyed this panoramic view of the mountains. The hike to the Knutenalm was a bit wet but we managed to walk in between the rain showers.

Maya’s baptism was on our last weekend so Danni, Paul, Maya, Moritz and Maxi arrived and we had a spiritual time with Nici’s Shaman greetings and more incredible food.

Afterwards we drove to Lago de Garda for another family vacation. Meanwhile Michael played tour guide in Berlin with his parents and friends from the USA. They had a great time and some medieval food.

Surprise visit

Written by Nadine Zangerle on . Posted in Germany

No one new about our little surprise visit at home except Ralf and Ursel. Ralf picked us up at the airport and drove us to family Zangerle. When my mom opened up the door she was speechless. It took her several hours to realize that we were really home.

My parents had told me about their planned trip to Italy so we arranged our flights without them knowing, so that I could come with them. My dad called immediately the hotels to check me in after I surprised him. More about our Italy trip in the next report.

It was just great being back home again, seeing family and friends. So we enjoyed the time and tried to see the whole family.

On one weekend we drove south to visit Jürgen & Co. Afterwards we met with the Rheinländer at my uncle’s place, since Theo celebrated his birthday. It was just great. We partied Rita’s birthday with a great raclette dinner and it was very nice to have some family events.

During our visit we could see the process of Jens and Tomira’s new home, meet little Finley, Tschechi’s and Matia’s son and having great time with family Schömer.

We followed our two Schömer girls, which we call Muckelmäuse, to a traditional Karneval dance and picked them up from school. Especially our trip to the Rheinaue Park with Ralf, Lena, Nicole and Michael’s parents was memorable. We went to the park to take pictures and Michael and Ralf ended up chasing each other with the little push bikes from Lena and Nicole. Who is now the kid? Watch yourself...

Last minute we decided to send in some pictures for a photo competition of a newspaper and my Australian street picture won 7th place. We took the chance to speak with the boss of the newspaper and got the chance to tell our story. They want to write an article about us. We will keep you informed.

Every beginning has an end so we had to start packing again. This time it was not easy so we pushed it till the last minute. And off we went to the airport flying to Jamaica. But before you hear about Jamaica I will tell you about my trip to Italy with my parents and my sister.

One more thing, thanks again for everyone who made our stay home so special again! Thanks Mom for doing all our laundry :O) Get well soon for Cuba!
