As some of you may know we had a lovely long break over the holidays, about which I yet have to post. Not sure exactly why, but the fact that the Diwali break had been early (mid oct instead of 2nd half nov), that xmas functions here start at the end of November, or because we had a lot of endings but no new beginnings in the 2 months, somehow the weeks before the xmas holidays appeared endless. And not in a good way most of the time. But finally the day arrived, we had to work still all day, but in the middle of the night we would leave for our peaceful paradise!
The selfless from the office that day demonstrated we were more then ready
By the time we had left the office and were looking forward to 3 weeks away we already were in a better mood.
A 4am departure time from Bangalore is far from ideal but even by 8am in Dubai after little to no sleep we were still in a festive mood.
Duuk loves the airport and particularly that what we all hate most - being bus-ed to the plane as there are not enough gates available.
Don't worry - he did sleep some in the plane.
We arrived in a wet and cold and grey Mieussy - and we loved it! Fresh air, seasons, peace and quiet.
Super tired from the trip, and everything else. But sooooo happy.
Well, what is not to like if this is what you wake up to.
Kids happy, about having time with us.
Later in the day we had to go for the big stock up to the hypermarche. Somehow we timed it such that all had just crashed from the excitement, the jet lag and everything else.
Rick actually never woke up, as he had watched 6 movies on the plane of course, Duuk however clearly had slept well in the shopping trolley and showed us that it is very normal to use the car as a playground.
Guess that happens when you hang out with the driver a lot -:)
And so, within 36 hours of leaving Bangalore, we were happily settled in France. Looking forward to 2 weeks at home.
