yesterday we drove to Lausanne from Germany in wet weather. AGAIN! it was strange to see history repeats itself which was about the same time last year, it rained so much until we reached Lausanne. it was so wet and cold… brrrr… only on the last 3^rd day in Lausanne last year we were being forgiven by the weather to have dry day even though there were teasing skies of dark clouds and sign of thunderstorm on our way to Geneva. it never rained and we made it dry to Geneva. i hoped this time we will or i will have some nice day to stroll along the lake and to take home some photographs of beautiful Lausanne. it is a very pretty place, i wish you were here!

view from our hotel's room yesterday evening

this morning we woke up on our first day in Lausanne to see outside our windows of wet grayish atmosphere. it is now 1 o'clock in the afternoon and fortunately the gray weather sky didn’t stay like that all day long. I already saw quite a number of people walking along the quay from my 4^th floor room which is facing the lake. how fortunate to have this hotel room view!

here are few photographs of wet Lausanne a view taken directly from our Mövenpick hotel’s room. we are so happy where our hotel is located is by the lake, by the quay, near a pharmacy shop, the bakery shop, close by the brasserie, some restaurants hence there go my diets!

i better get myself ready to stroll along the Ouchy quay while the weather is still A-OK and i am about 10 minutes walk away to the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.

i hope you enjoy viewing my few photographs of Lausanne. i'm going to post and i don't do grammar or spelling check because my laptop is running out of batteries, essh. taa for now.

Garden at home in Ludwigsburg

when the puter at home was busy in used yesterday, i took my camera out to the garden of my in-laws. they planted strawberries and these fellows are a bit overripe and i left them to return to the good nature.

near the strawberries, they also planted grape tomatoes, these fellows are still green to pluck

they also have these deers decor in their garden. i think they are cute and they looked real as if they know i'm photographing them, LOL...

they also planted big white, pink and red roses! this recalls me back of my mother when saw these blossom roses, she wanted to bring each stem home to Malaysia with her so she could plant them at home. how funny!

this rose has its life ended

where there are so many flowers and plants, there will surely be bee - bumble bees everywhere and hard to photograph them but i got one!

and i saw plastic watering can sat at the garden

real rain droplets on this leaf - i did not water it

Greetings from Ludwigsburg, Germany

the menu our breakfast table today

warmest greetings to my fellow Bloggers.

i'm back on my feet!! Yesterday i tried to post my lenghty drama experienced about our move. Somehow, blogspot couldn't post my blog, instead it asked me to report an error! i will try again but i already have lost quite a bit of my writing and i have to start all over again :(

last night i took some firework show photographs here in ludwigsburg and i will share these photies with you tomorrow. sabar yer. be patient.

at this moment, i wanted to share with you our first morning breakfast together at ludwigsburg town we have had this morning.

Ludwigsburg town

today i feel much a person, no more part alien, part zombie - fully human hahaa... for the first time, i could sleep like a dead log last night. i couldn't hear the birds chirping their early morning gossiping around the trees and plants outside our room. this made my day wondrous for having a goodie woodie sleep. anyhow, i wanted to share few photos with you i took of what i saw today.

we walked by this church all the time because it is situated right in the heart of the town

fresh bread arrived, croissant gone in the bellies, LOL

Baroque Fireworks at Ludwigsburg July 5th, 2008

before the firework show, i took this photo of candles lite inside papercup

this fireworks show was last Saturday. there were about 12,000 people watching this firework played with classical music as it firing into the dark sky at Ludwigsburg castle yard. it was indeed a promised unique midsummer night experienced - it was truly stunning, amazing and mesmerizing!

another candle lite in papercup placed on the ground

oh i really enjoyed every firework shoot out to the sky that was played for 25 minutes which started at 10:35pm.

here are some of my shots i can't resist not to share :)) i had to be really quick to get every shot of the fireworks and of course, i missed lots of that unique explosive fireworks.

and i have uploaded more at my Flickr website.

crunch time, crunch day

one more day to moving day and

3 more days to flying out of here, yay!

oh darn! can you imagine when you are still fast asleep at 6am, suddenly you hear the gardener downstairs already run his tree trimming machine loud and sharp! i'll be happy to get up at least at 6:30am, oh well... one more night and we are out of Scripps Ranch Boulevard.
hubby said i need lots of calories to earn some strength and i suggested to pick up my breakfast at Jack-in-the-Box. i thought i photograph my picked-up breakfast, would you like to join me :)) ? i have iced coffee caramel, hash brown and the wrapper said sausage croissant. that was wrong, i had burger croissant with egg, aiyaaa...

nyum.. nyum... my egg croissant burger - that was 3 bites and i thought i share with you the interior, LOL !

i have done all our clothing packing for the usage of at least 8 weeks until our personal effects arrived in Germany. we are carrying 4 suitcases full of clothings and foot wears!

this is the weight of my suitcase alone at 26 kilos! i hope we get all our suitcases through well and safe at the airport check-in.

oh here is something for fun, this is my today's weight after weighting my suitcase haha... who is lighter? i wore socks cause my tootsies aren't prettty LOL.

computer will be disconnected soon - gotta boxed them and i have to dismantle our computer table. i loved dismantling stuff hahaa...but to put them together requires a lot of patient. hubby is poor at this, but thatsokay - it made me feel proud that i am much a handy girl, followed my late father's footsteps (blessed him).

well, few more hours to grilling time till our packers come in between 8am-10am tomorrow morning, they have confirmed this again today.
i don't know how long i won't be able to blog but i will keep you posted when time allows, but hey, till death do we blog apart!!!? (we shall see that) LOL...

in case i might not be able to post again during this moving and traveling period, i say Goodbye from San Diego, California USA until we meet again in Europa :)

i'll be right back after these ads ...
