Cora Azalea: Easter in Germany!

In mid-March a freak and traumatic computer/coffee spillage incident occurred at Milkenstrasse 6, causing the temporary shut down of Cora Azalea news. Thank goodness no photos were lost, however, they were transferred over to my new computer in complete disarray, causing hours of organisational head aches and frustrations. I am still not quite sure where photos of the past month have gone, therefore I will continue on with photos of this past Easter weekend, which we spent in Germany!

In 1987, Nat and his parents moved to Starnberg, Germany, which is a beautiful lake side village, just outside of Munich. This is where Nat and his family lived for seven years, while Pooh Bah worked at Bosch Germany. I've been eager to visit since we moved to Switzerland, and this nice long weekend was a great time to go. While Nat's parent's house was being completed, the Campbell's lived in a cute little hotel for three months when they first arrived, and, of course, this is the hotel we had to stay at while visiting! It was adorable and had a great view of the lake. Plus, the Italian restaurant downstairs was delicious and we ate there two nights in a row. It was rumoured that after an international flight, a little five-year-old Nat once fell asleep head first into his pizza at this very establishment!

During our stay we also took the 20-minute train to Munich for a day of touring, we went on a few walks by the lake, we toured Nat's old neighbourhood, and visited two castles built by crazy Mad King Ludwig (one was his famous fairytale castle, and the other was his less famous, but outstanding hunting lodge where he spent a large amount of his time and included a crazy grotto where he bathed and listened to classical music while floating around in a swan boat. What a nut.

Cora LOVED seeing the castles and talked about castles for about three days straight. It was pretty cute. Below are a few photos of our little Easter weekend get-away, beginning with a few photos of Easter Bunny goodies.
