Edinburgh with Kids

Hello in there?!?!

We've been in Edinburgh for 5 days... here's the quick update:

Jana and grandma have escaped the 1am and 4am breakfast sessions with the jet-lagged kids. So daddy had to figure out how to cook crepes. After a few days of edible mistakes, i finally got the hang of it, and now i can flip a crepe in the air.

I had the best sandwich yesterday. Chicken, cream cheese, bacon, bbq sauce, gouda, salami and mayo. Jana called it the artery clogger. I called it heaven.

Had my first 'real shave' by a scottish barber. Britta was with me. As long as i kept feeding her bits of broken cookie she was happy.

Karsten puked on the kitchen table, chair, couch, living room floor, his shirt, pants and on his bed. Then he felt much better.

There's no TV in our flat, so we've been watching movies on my laptop. Most watched: Thomas the Train, Superman, Muppets.

Karsten loves castles, dungeons, ghosts and monsters. Luckily Edinburgh has plenty. He's super excited to see nessy. While getting my haircut i heard a song on the local radio station "here comes the monster"... i'm not sure if that's just a local favorite or global hit?

Things we couldn't easily figure out how to operate: dishwasher, washing machine (dryer still a mystery), toilet, door locks, oven, stove & microwave. Diane has been hanging clothes in creative places around the flat.

Kids favorite food so far... Karsten: Thomas spaghetti-o's and Thomas yogurt. Britta: oranges (she calls them apples)
