2023-12-26 Bratislava Christmas Part 1

Lots have happened since I last posted. Stephen, Elian and Xander arrived on Friday and we all went to Bratislava on Saturday. Roy, Xander and me went by train, Stephen and Elian by Dusty with all the luggage, except our two suitcases, plus large amounts of food.

The weather was atrocious, snowing, raining and cold. We had to catch a taxi, while Stephen was unpacking and then showed off the villa. It is an amazing place, with 4 floors, many bedrooms, swimming pool, gym, panoramic views and a game room.

On Sunday Alex, Meaghan and Callum arrived, in 45 minutes from the airport, due a taxi driver thinking he was in an F1 race. This was all followed by Christmas Day, which was one endless whirlwind of, breakfast, opening presents, cooking, eating, drinking, playing games, watching TV etc., etc.

Today we are planning to go on a little hike in the forests behind the house, assuming the rest of the family gets up. It is nearly 10am and no sign of movement yet. Part 2 to follow next week.
