switch to english

so I´ve been thinking that it maybe makes more sence to write this in english, then also my english speaking friends can read what I am doing down in Malawi. Jeder, der kein Englisch versteht schreibt mir n email und wir kriegen das irgendwie hin..
So well I finally arrived in Newcastle/UK today. Since the last time I was writing I have been visiting friends in Münster (@Katharina+Christina: it was absolute hilarious and a fantastic evening!)

Hamburg (@Andrea: it was fabulous, especially the relaxing day and the dancing)

Berlin (@Sandrina: thanks for letting me stay and feel so welcome it was perfect)

Dublin (@Danny: it was a good decision seeing you and I am happy we sorted everything out!)

I had a fantastic time!!!!
Hamburg was so nice the days passed so quick, I could´ve stayed a few weeks longer. It feels so good to be with your closest friend! A lot of girls talk of course haha! We´ve been dancing and to the cinema and I met a lot of actors wich was interesting because they are all so surprised to meet a midwife. Dont think that happens to them a lot. Maybe besides Vivi who is nearly 8 month pregnant by now.
Off to Berlin Geraldine and Sandrina already expected my arrival in Pankow and picked me up with a big hug. So good to see old friends again, and midwifes! And also Simon who was down in Berlin himself. Of course we had a fantastic time being to Potsdam and Sans Soucci castle in the beautifullest weather! Sure we have also been out partying wild. Most of the time we recovering from that actually but we are on holidays right? A beautiful last day I spent with Anna and her 6 mounth old Samuel (happy 1/2 birthday Sammy!!). We had a nice walk in the park. Who knows one day I will be the one settled and pushing the trolley..
I was already feeling a bit nervous when I left for Dublin. Time has been flying and the date of departure is getting closer and closer. the 3 days in the Ire went by just like a second but again I saw a lot of old friends and been out dancing a bit. It was a good thing to see Daniel before leaving with good talks and beach walks. I really enjoyed that! Dublin is so much good memory and I love the Bulmers!

And now I arrived in Newcastle, South fuckin´Shields haha, with Daddy and a lovely fireplace. I can rest myself and get the last things organized - like buying a huge amount of shampoo, mosquito repellant and toothpaste! i found out I can bring 3 bags á 25kg so perfect! Problem solved! I dont know how to carry all these things but there are a few days to go so for now I just enjoy that I am here.
I am looking forward to the new adventure and to London on friday where I´ll meet Nora and Andrea for a final good bye. Best friends ever!!!!!
I´ll write again when I am in Lilongwe!

erste Schritte

Iregendwie begreife ich erst jetzt das es wirklich in 3 Wochen los geht. Meine Koffer sind gepackt und stehen bereit für meinen Aufbruch, zunächst nach Hamburg. Eine Verabschiedung reiht sich an die Nächste, manchmal überkommt mich jetzt schon das Heimweh! Aber es ist auch so aufregend.

Habe heute eine lange Skatingtour mit Mama gemacht..

Morgen machen wir einen Welnesstag und abends gibt es ein Abschiedsessen im Kreise der Familie. Vielleicht schafft es Paul auch noch zu kommen.

Das Wochenende also nochmal ganz tief aufsaugen und genießen. So fängt irgendwie schon jetzt die Reise an.

Und somit auch mein Blog...

VIEL SPASS BEIM LESEN!
