Wolkenpause

My first day at home was quite busy. Still jetlaged I woke up at 6 in the morning and could not sleep anymore. So I went to the bakery and saw all the cute little lights in the windows (semi circles ;)). Then my parents came as a surprise and I met the girls on the 'Striezelmarkt' (christmas market in Dresden). We had a hot spiced wine, so jum!



This adventscalender would not be fully valid without a picture of Franklin Road - 'the' christmas road in Auckland! It actually is written in your contract that you have to decorate your house...

After 36 hours in Nomansland between Auckland and Dresden I finally arrived home. How weird to be here again. So happy to see Mathi, my family and friends! I still have to get used to the darkness and coldness and hope it will be snowing soon. Miss you Kiwis over the ocean a lot and will post a sunny picture in remembrance...

On my way back to Germany I was thinking lots about my time here at the kiwis. Felt like in Nomansland, not knowing where I really am, looking forward to come home after such a long time, but feeling strongly that I gained a new home in auckland, too. So I want to go on updating this blog until the 24th with little things I found quite exciting - combining christmas and summer in New Zealand



These are the motives Kiwis use for christmas cards. I especially like the kiwi in stockings ;)
