So we survived Easter

So we're back. We ha loads of family fun in the Harz. However I got really sick. As in I got a giant cold... like I haven't had one in ages! From the first day on I had such a sore throat, pressure on my ears (the mountains didn't help) and everything locked up. I feel like crap now and I'm not going back to work tomorrow as planned.

Additionally I picked up two really sick dogs from the dog pension today. I'm going to the vet in a couple of minutes to get them checked out but that's the last time they went to that place. So I'll keep you posted. Here some pictures:


The village, Bad Sachsa was rather cute.


On our way up the Wurmberg we saw some snow...


and on the Brocken there was also snow. ^_____^

We only had nice weather on the first day when we went up the mountain (Angel insists the Harz has no mountains, only hills...) so on the second day we went Ice-skating which was quite fun, if you ignore the blisters I got from the rental plastic Ice Hockey skates... which were dull and wouldn't skate properly. Oh well but the activity itself was fun. We even did the obligatory hand in hand skate to cheesy Kuschelrock music. Wheee! Other than that we BBQed sausages and played a lot of games. Oh and most importantly our secret project which was a movie we made for our parents for their 25th wedding anniversary, was a complete hit. I've never seen my mom and dad cry so much and laugh so much at the same time. To say they loved it would be an understatement. So that was a great success.

I'll go now and collapse on the couch. -___-;
