Her i Toscana har vi planlagt ferie med Kenneths mor og mormor. De tog en flyver til Firenze, hvor Kenneth hentede dem, efter også at have rundet et byggemarked for at købe lidt praktisk, som vi har savnet. Dette inkluderede en vandslange med gevind, en myggelampe og en elektrisk bord-grill.
Der er et godt stykke vej til Firenze, så Kenneth kørte lidt over 10. Resten af familien iførte sig badetøj og solcreme og skulle tage den svære beslutning om hvilken svømmepøl vi skulle slå base ved. Det blev ‘den dybe’, hvor der blev dykket, stået på hænder og lavet ‘bomber’ til den store guldmedalje. Midt på dagen krøb vi i skygge med lidt koldt at drikke, der blev lavet lidt lektier (vi har en del med fra skolen som vi prøver at sprede lidt ud over hele perioden) og endnu et lag solcreme gjorde os klar til flere timer ved en ny pool. Nu et lavt basin med en ‘bakke’ i midten, hvor der løb vand ned af. Dvs en form for vandrutschebane formet som et bjerg, hvor alle siderne var glatte nok til at del stod på … når de skulle op! Underholdende - også at se på :-)
Endelig kom de retur fra lufthavnen og der blevet badet endnu en gang efter indtjekning mm. Den nye el-grill blev taget i brug og vi fik taget godt hul på denne del af turen.
Here in Tuscany, we have planned a vacation with Kenneth's mother and grandmother. They flew to Florence, where Kenneth picked them up after making a stop at a hardware store to buy some practical items that we have been missing. This included a threaded water hose, a mosquito lamp, and an electric tabletop grill.
The drive to Florence is quite a distance, so Kenneth left a little after 10. The rest of the family put on their swimwear and sunscreen, and we had to make the difficult decision of which swimming pool to make our base. We chose "the deep one," where we dived, did handstands, and performed impressive cannonball jumps. In the middle of the day, we sought shade, sipped cold drinks, and worked on some school assignments (we brought along some schoolwork to spread out throughout the trip). After another layer of sunscreen, we were ready for more hours of fun at a new pool. This one had a shallow basin with a "mountain" in the center, where water cascaded down. It was like a water slide-shaped mountain, and everyone had a blast trying to climb up... and sliding down! It was entertaining to watch as well.
Finally, they returned from the airport, and after the check-in process, we had another refreshing swim. We also put the new electric grill to use and had a great start to this part of our journey.
