Summer 2010

Mid July we left Abu Dhabi for Europe. We first spent 10 days in London to meet Inácia's new cousin, Sebastao, a lovely little guy. She enjoyed the baby but couldn't understand why he was not playing with her just yet.From there we went to Vorarlberg, in Austria. My sister, Esben and Anton came as well from Singapore as did Marlene, my cousin, and her family from Munich, Ilse, my aunt, Franz and Marie-Louise as well as my parents from Vienna. We also spent time with

Werner and Wilma, my uncle, Irmgard and Ecke, my aunt and more friends. Unfortunately, the weather was mediocre and the many hikes we had planed were reduced to only a few, including was really tough one to the Eisentaler Spitzen (2753m).

On the 15th of August, Anton was baptised in Lech and we feasted in the Rud-Alpe, dear to our family! It was a lovely day despite the rain and the hale (!).

Inácia had a wonderful time with the whole family from both sides and made enormous progress: she walked her first steps in Regent's Park and learned to clap, send kisses and was a pure joy.
