[8] Leaving Australia Today
[Sydney/Airport, 25-11-2011] Just a few hours away from hopping on the plane at Sydney-Airport. The Emirates lounge always offers great food and is a good start for this long journey. Twelve hours to Dubai, another six hours to Düsseldorf, where we bound to land on Saturday. Still having all the wonderful experiences of Australia in mind, I can’t hide, that I’m longing to be back in Europe around our national holiday »St. Nicolaus« (which is a yearly holiday with heaps and heaps of presents for the family members on the 5th of December) and especially Christmas and New Year. Our mothers, being 96 and 92, can’t believe, that me and my husband are »home at Christmas«, like being told in many Christmas song. After having enjoyed my free weeks in December, I will have to travel Germany, Austria, Norway and Sweden, before flying back to Sydney in February 2012. I must say, that I’m really looking forward to the European January-projects with the German Red Cross (Borken), Volkshochschule Schaumburg (Adult Education Centre), Seniorenzentrum Am Haarbach (Ederly Care Centre, Aachen), German Redcross Ladbergen (Family centre), my own Supervisor Courses in Eindhoven, the Osteopathy congress in Vienna, and the Marte Meo events in Bergen and Oslo (Norway). It will be a busy January 2012, but quite promising at the same time. Can’t wait to say »hello« to all the enthusiastic people organizing these Marte Meo events. This Photo? Probably a cover for our next book: sunset at Glenelg/Adelaide.
