Yesterday I had one of those moments. I was on the phone with Georgi, our relocation agent to sort the last couple of things out for the application and in the meantime the boys were going mad. They really needed to get out so that's what we did. We just walked to something that looks like a little park opposite the apartments. You cross a busy road and then we were so surprised! Suddenly so green, a huge pond and soooo many birds! Ducks, a black swan, moorhens, coots, herons and many more. They were not scared at all, in fact they followed us which caused great hilarity with the boys. We crossed a little bridge and there was a big waterfall with so many beautiful, different trees around it with parakeets in them. We will definitely go there more often. Great to have something like that to explore just in the middle of a big city!
In the evening we had drinks at the Dutch club but it was a little bit disappointing as it was full of old people. Someone explained it was set up for Dutch people who came over by boat in the 60's and obviously the they are still going!
Today we went into the city centre to buy some presents for my friend and her baby. It's great to wonder round in such a big city with musicians everywhere.
Then Willem and Frank wanted to show Jamie Kings Park and the dinosaur footprints. The rest of the afternoon we spent in Scarborough, north of the city on the coast. Lovely place, a bit more commercial and built up than other parts of the coast but just a beautiful beach with dunes and a park with a playground, cafe's etc. It was warm and Jamie and Frank went for a paddle! Willem was scared of the waves. It's so weird.. they call this winter but we were in shorts and t-shirts in the ocean!
