Celebrations and parties before we leave...

On Friday we celebrated Martins promotion to lieutenant at the Casino in Berne. In the evening we went to the magnificent dance at the Palace Hotel in Lausanne, which Martin had organised. It was simply perfect: The salon was decorated with shinig candles, a band played beautifully throughout the evening, we had a delicious 5-course menu, funny entertainment and danced until the last dance. It was such a stunning evenig and I can only congratulate and admire Martin for having planned this whole evenig so perfectly. I felt so spoilt and will always think back at this day as one of the most special days in my life!
Yesterday evening Stefanie organised a surprise party for Martin, where family and friends came to say good-bye to him and also me. She had prepared a colourful Apéro-table with all Martin's favourite food. It was such an enjoyable and cosy evening.
Today we will have my farewell at our house in Winterthur.
We are both very busy with the last preparations and with trying to get everything we would like to take with us to South Africa into one suitcase of 20 kg.
Only one day left until we leave...
