Germany, a while ago

 I went to see my family in Germany over Easter, they live fairly close to Würzburg in Bavaria

 This is my cousin Helena, who's already 17, and I always want to point out that I remember her from when she was a baby

 And my cousin Elisa, whom I photographed with my very first and self-bought camera when I was ten and she was a little bundle in a stroller

In order of their height, from left to right: Grandmother, Elisa, aunt Mette, and Helena in Frankfurt

I had pretty much as brilliant a time as could be had when I was in Germany. My grandmother and I had a lot of tea (and then I had some more) and late breakfasts and dinners at one o'clock and wine at six, we went out with my aunt and cousins for Mexican food and to see Michael Jackson's Thriller Live in Frankfurt, we had an Easter brunch and an Easter egg hunt, I read all the books and some of the magazines, and I got the beginning of an acceptable watch tan. Oh, and we cycled and went to the swimming pool and did a wee bit of pilates.

Now, if anyone wondered: Yes. I am having trouble with my laptop. I am getting a new one, but it is taking some time. I used to be able to at least copy-paste every 'e' in a blog post, but now I can't even do that, it's getting fairly impossible to post anything. I got a blogger app for my new phone, but it's absolute rubbish and publishes photos too big and distorted and what not. Grumpy Sunniva is now borrowing her housemate Elise's laptop to finally put up some of the photos from her (Sunniva's) Germany-Spain trip. Hope you enjoy them while said Sunniva is on her way around London this week!

Me looking awkward

but trying to look happy

Because I'm going to Spain in April! Oh, and to Germany. ALL THE TRAVEL and all for me.

So let's forget that my laptop doesn't recognize my external hard drive with all the photos I should have edited, that I am still paying rent for this house but will be gone one month, and that I could have used the money differently:

I now get almost one week with my grandmother in Germany, and then I get two and a half weeks volunteering with language practice with a Spanish family. I'm volunteering through Workaway again, and hoping that I have found another good family to stay with.

Until then... Work hard, buy less and save up.
