Biot - South of France January 2010

Hi Folks!

Have been a bit lazy these times. At least I want to you show you some pictures from my last trip to the South of France at the end of January. I will not comment these pictures.

Midem 2010 in Cannes

It is always great being there and we where lucky because a few days later the big snow fall came and we even lost our wonderful Mimosa-Tree at the entrance of Bastide de Libac. It was breaking down from loads of snow that it had to carry. It just could not take it!!!


Really feel sorry about that, because it was a very big and beautiful tree.

I will place some comments and pics later.

Back in Munich

So here I am back in Munich since Monday the 4th. I had a good trip back home because there was no traffic.

It is quite cold here and there is also some snow. I am looking forward now for my trip to the South of France which will be on the 21st of January. I will get back to you when I have arrived in Biot. Till then there is a lot of work to do. So see you soon on this blog.

Happy New Year 2010!

So the time here for me is nearly over. Claudia left today and I have to leave my wonderful apartment tomorrow and move in with my family, which is actually not a bad choice!

Sylvester night was great at the home of my family and wonderful people were there. It was little Beppi ´s first Sylvester night that he was not asleep. He was all excited to watch the fireworks. At the end  he got a bit tired though and he did not expected it to be that loud - he hates that. But he survived till about 00:30.

Beppi marching through the snow looking for the rest of the fireworks.

In the morning Beppi and me went for a walk to collect all the rest of the firework rockets and we builded something out of it.

The weather on New Years Day always seems to be great here. What scenery!

After having lunch at the Hotel Bellavista we went home playing with his cars and watching some cartoons on the telly.

I all wish you a prosperous and healthy good New Year 2010.

Much Love to all of you xxx

Bob Sleigh Run

So we went to the Bob Club St. Moritz this morning. It was quite impressive and I think I was more excited than Claudia.

 First she had to get the helmet and then we were watching the others going down the St. Moritz Bob Run. When the trainings were over it was the turn for the guests.

When Claudia came back she was overwhelmed. She just loved it and wanted to go again immediately.

After that we went shopping, had lunch in St. Moritz and a drink a my friend Pava´s Place. He is called Pava or Pavarotti because he looks a bit like him and as many Italians can sing as well.

Then we went home and had a relaxing evening.

Welcome to the Engadine

So after a long trip from Michelstadt Claudia has finally arrived. It took her over 8 hours to get here. Well it was Saturday and the 26th of December.

The next day the weather was fabulous and we went for a long walk to the Fex valley. In the evening we had dinner at the pizzeria in the Chesa Veglia which was very nice.

On Monday we went to the Roseg Valley. The weather is still good and we walked about 15 km.

The evening we were spending at home.

Tomorrow it is Claudia’s big day. She will go down the bob run in St. Moritz. A present we gave to her on her last birthday.

Will tell you more about it soon.

Walking in the winter wonderland

So it had been snowing till this evening and all passes are closed.

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and little Beppi was really excited. Of course he got loads of presents especially Lego stones so he was very busy putting everything together.

Today we went for a walk with Beppi´s slay
