Nearly the end

Only 3 days left of our 3 months holiday in Thailand and Australia. It has been an amazing trip for many reasons and also very emotional and sad since my dad died from cancer in the beginning of December. The day after we get back to Sweden, next Wednesday, is the funeral and I am sure it will be a day to remember.

The last few weeks have been busy seeing friends and spending time with the family here in Adelaide.

I have visited my old workplace and it was great to meet some of my old work friends and to just see the differences in the factory. I worked there for about 4 years and I really enjoyed it.

The other day I took Jakob to his old child care centre. A couple of his old carers have left but a few were still there and it was nice to come back and show Jakob were he used to spend lots of time when he was younger. He was a bit shy to start with but started relaxing after a while.

Adam and I took Jakob to my favourite wildlife park up in the hills where we all got to feed kangaroos, hold a koala, pat snakes, watch monkeys etc. One of those things you just have to do when in Australia.

Adam and I have spend two nights in a hotel in the city without the children. Do I need to say that we had an amazing time?

A dinner and drinks with my yoga mothers at one of the girls houses was great fun and for the first time in at least 15 years I went to bed a 4 am in the morning!!

Last weekend I visited John and Chris on John's farm. I met them only a week after I arrived in Australia the first time many years ago when visiting a horse show in Glenelg. They asked me if I wanted to come back the next day and have a ride on one of their horses. I was in heaven! after that I have become good friends with these wonderful and generous people. I even rode one of John's horses in a horse show a few years ago.

Jakob and Isak are doing great. Jakob and I have done quite a few things together just the two of us and he is so fun to be with! I much rather go out with him than play with cars on the floor... Isak is Isak and he eats, sleeps and crawls. He is standing up more and more often but I think walking is still a few months away. I am starting to worry a little bit about the trip home. He is not so keen on sitting on our lap anymore. He want's to get down to the floor ALL the time. Will be an interesting trip home...

When I get back to Sweden I will add some photos to the blog and tell you all more about our trip.

Only a few days left and I will make the most of these last days!
