Tracy's grandfather very generously offered to buy us a pram before Annabel was born, and what a blessing the 4x4 has been! We've pulled it through knee-deep snow, over icy paths, on the trains and busses, and around town. In all situations it seems to manage well, and Annabel sleeps like an angel all cuddled up inside. The lower 2 pics are in the park close to our flat, in which we go walking quite a bit. The last few days, however, there's been A LOT of snow, and the paths haven't been cleared so well. That makes for a very energetic walk for whoever is pushing. 
Above is a Christmas market - the outing for that day. The Christmas atmosphere all over the city is quite warm, with loads of lights, and you don't have to go far to find a cup of warm Glogi (spiced fruit juice with raisins and almonds).
Also above, is Annabel parked on the side of a relatively big slope, waiting for mom and dad to have a slide on a Christmas sled :) Below is the evidence... what fun!
I REALLY want to try sledding (sp?) pity the closest I will probably find is down some sand dune in Namib. How much control does one have over that thing? Is it more fun than bodyboarding?
ReplyDeleteWell, you should come and visit...
ReplyDeleteThere are some similarities to bodyboarding, you steer with your hands and weight, breaking is not really an option unless you want to get wet. Wiping is a bit colder and harder than on the Durban beachfront. You get quite a bit of speed, depending on how big the hill is.
