Around midday today, our Internet connection suddenly failed to work. Just timeout errors and no ping got through. I checked the "Kischdle" (German dialect for "small box") and saw, that the cable LED was off.
At about the same time, the boys came shouting - "There is no picture in the TV…". I tried resetting everything, but no luck. - This all seems so familiar with the Internet connection in Palma.
So, I called the the management company and their comment was like … "You too????, We already had a couple of complaints as the gardening company cut through the cables. We’ll make a few calls and have it fixed". However, The difference to Palma is, they got it fixed in a matter of hours and not days.
This morning we decided to take it easy. Thomas and I were up late last night to finish some work and we were glad we did not have to get up early. After everybody got up (of course Felix rose early) we checked the pool temperature - just perfect. This meant that we had to get into the pool.
While the fresh croissants and huge cinnamon rolls baked in the oven we jumped in the pool and had lots of fun. No - Thomas is not drinking a beer, he enjoys his hazelnut coffee in the Jacuzzi.
After the fun in the pool and breakfast the boys had some homework to finish. Then we decided to go to Disney Marketplace and rent a boat.
We got life jackets and after boarding our boat (?? what do you say when you enter a boat ??) skipper Thomas maneuvered us out the the port. Sorry, there was no waterkiing…
The boys could not wait - they also had to try to steer - this was fun.
I enjoyed the sun and my three skippers did the rest.
After we got back from the lake we walked around in Disney Marketplace and then went home. On the way home we had to stop at the "Cracker Barrel Old Country Store". This is a fun store. Without my two "patient shoppers" I could have spent quite some time there. I will have to go back - they have the perfect gift for my sister Renate (sorry can’t say because she reads the blog too).
When we got home, we had to decide what to do for dinner. The boys did not want to go shopping (… too boring…). So todays options for dinner were Japanese Hibachi style restaurant or Black Angus.
As you can see, we decided to eat steak. This was a dinner which grandma Kati would have really liked. The steaks at Black Angus were terrific.
Now we are full and tired but very happy and grateful that we were able to enjoy another wonderful day together.
