Yeah, thanks Facebook for the reminder that a year ago today we were enjoying Milan (picture me doing a vastly over exaggerated eye roll right here please?)… The beginning of this Easter Holiday is not quite as exciting in the Bavarian Sojourn Household as stage one of the house project is finished up.

Cultured Kids #42
I know the saying goes be careful what you wish for, but I really am more than ready for the Easter Hols to begin this afternoon… Just a break in our usual routine will be nice, and maybe a lie in or two (I can wish!). Now the the initial phase of our house renovations […]

Sunday Photo – Finished For the Day – Zugspitze
After a hard day’s skiing on the glacier, it was time to take a bit of a break before catching the cable car back down…
A Taste of Trier
Whilst we could have opted for a nice quiet time at home before our building work starts next week, somewhere just before Christmas – when half term seemed far far away, the call of the mountains was too great, and we decided to drive down through Europe to Bayern for a quick ski trip, with […]
