Chrissi!  :)

It sounds like you had a beautiful trip.  What language(s) were the kids club and the shows in?

I have done things like your postcard-sending experience.  :)

It's great to have you back.

Hi Chrissi!

Great to see you back online.  I'm glad you had a nice vacation. :)

And, good work for all you efforts at sending out all those postcards!  I'm sure they'll be much appreciated.

The shows and the kids club were in German. It wasn't provided by the hotel management, but by the tour operator, which was, in our case, of course a German one. Most guests in the hotel were Russians, Germans, Austrians, Swiss or German-Turks (Turks living in Germany). So all but the Russians spoke German.


Glad you're back safe!

Good thing you're patient  :). It took me a while, but here they are:

The pool. I'm tempted to write "POOL" in capital letters because it was the biggest pool I've ever seen in my life. That's not all of the pool (maybe 2/3 of its size), but it gives you an impression:




Bed decoration by the chambermaid. She didn't make such a fuss with the flowers and towels every day, but it was always nicely decorated.

And here are the cowboys and cowgirls  ;D.

Stage setting:



I'm sorry, the pics of the show are not good. But I think you can recognize the Western theme.

When you're south where it's warm, you have to take a pic of the sunset at the beach:

   I sure appreciated your postcard Chrissi.  And those photos make it look like you had a very nice time as well.That Pool looks like a small lake.  Wow...

   Were the folks in the play, guests or the hotel employees?



     Beautiful mind

I took this pic lying on a deckchair. I love it, it represents the colors of summer to me and reminds me that summer is actually meant to be HOT (you may have guessed it: still cool weather in Germany).



No pics of my family, but here's one of me:




Flowers everywhere: on the bed, as decoration on the buffet and in the gardens:
