Goodness me, I can't believe it has been so long since I wrote something. I am such a busy schoolkid now that there just isn't time! But we have had some more visitors and another holiday so I better tell you all about it.
Nana and Opa Ross came to visit! Yay! It was very exciting for us all. Zahra got to meet them for the first time and she liked them a lot. They arrived right at the beginning of the school holidays and we all went on a trip together. You can see Zahra with Nana and Opa Ross here on the train.
Our first stop was a little village called Gandria, on Lake Lugano. We had lovely rooms with balconies right on the water, it was so beautiful.
It was Nana's 60th birthday while she was visiting us, so our trip was a little celebration with her.
Next we had a long day of travelling on Italian trains to get to the town of Bolzano, in the South Tyrol. It is gorgeous there and we had lots of fun looking around the town, playing in the park and taking a gondola up the mountain nearby. Zahra had fun in the swing, as you can see.
The weekend we were in Bolzano Mama read that there was a bread and strudel festival in the next town, so of course we had to go. We tasted lots of yummy breads and sweets and I baked bread in a little bakery for kids they had there. I made a plait cat.
After Bolzano we went to a Kinderhotel in the mountains. That was the best fun ever. I made friends with other kids and did all sorts of cool things with them like hiking at the top of a mountain and feeding farm animals and putting on a theatre show for the parents and dressing up as Indians and having sausages over a fire. Zahra liked playing in the kids' playroom.
And being pulled around in the wagon!
After the Kinderhotel it was time to come home and go back to school. But before Nana and Opa Ross left we had to show them one more thing - snow! They had never seen it before so Dada and I took them to the mountains here in Switzerland and I taught Nana how to throw snowballs. I was very sad when they had to leave so now I am counting down until we go to visit them in Australia next year.
