Marvellous holidays in Switzerland...
2 Weeks holidays in Switzerland... - what a privilege...
Surprise my father at his 70th Birthday, surprise our
friends & family with a bottle of Champagne - unexpectedly standing in front of
their door-, replace defect equipment, get spare parts... and of
course:
Enjoying the beauty of Switzerland, the great food &
wine, get the latest news - learn about new technologies - It was just
great.
Many thanx to all our friends for the great time, the
incredible foods, drinks... - We're definitely starting to look forward to
finally get home again! :) |

In grosser Trauer....
In deep mourning....
Mit Bestürzung und Entsetzen haben wir vom Tod von Bridget
und dem traurigen Ende der Reise der Traumfamilie (der http://www.alptoalp.com
- Expedition) erfahren.
Wir verbrachten eine Woche zusammen am gleichen
Traumstrand in der Baja de California. Die junge Familie war für uns ein
wundervolles und positives Beispiel für "Reisen als Famile".
Das traurige Unglück erfüllt uns mit grossem Schmerz.
Wir drücken Rupert und den Kindern den Daumen und
wünschen Ihnen unendlich viel Kraft und Mut in der kommenden Zeit....
