In south africa

We arrived yesterday in South Africa and I got my internet connected today , thanks to my dear husband:)!!
Sunday/monday were busy days at home in Finland but I was quite happy and relaxed when we left, it felt like we didnt leave anything behind that we cant live without, but I wish I had had time to clean the house properly before we left, so sorry Hanna& Basse, who will live there while we are away, hope you dont need to start your stay by rolling up youir sleeves....:)
Our flights where in time, both for Nico and me, and Nico had no problems with his passport in Germany, I think more problems with Viivi, as he had no pram and many bags, and had to carry her all the time, ( but if taken as a work out it is not soo bad carrying a 13kg child around)and no extra seat on the plane...imagine 10 hours night time in a plane with a child sleeping in you lap, but luckily it ends at some point even if one counts the minutes:) Me and Liina again had 3 seats(Nicos seat as we did not cancel his ticket) so we had plenty of space, but still I did not sleep that good,normal for me on these long flights, I watched a few movies...
Anyway, we landed in Jburg and it was sunny and warm, I just love it and I think the girls also as Liinas first words when we walked out the airport was: `Jag är såå glad= Im sooo Happy`
These first days we have been organizing our phones, , banking...etc we need/ sort out during our stay, so both yesterday and today we have spent time at Nortgate, and this morning we had breakfast at Mugg& Bean, I have missed that place, and we both had Egg Benedict and it was very tasty.
Last night we had a braai and we saw our friends Renthia and Nardo who we havent seen for 2 years ,and their little girl Emma, the girls played nice together, and to see Elizma yesterday was wonderful. Liina remembers her very well, but Viivi was only 3 months last time so she cant remember, but by now she is giving hugs and kisses too . Both girls have adapted so well and are feeling at home, and the little puppy Elizma has here...Liina just takes care of her and would probably sleep next to her. Viivi probably thinks the puppy is a toy and can be a bit too rough, so I have to watch her.
We ave also already got into the routines here, it doesnt feel like two years since last. Things around here has changed, new buildings, houses has popped up all over, but the life rythm is as before.
That is all for today, we like it, girls like it and everyone is happy :)
