Tomorrow is the last day of our summer holiday trip! Tuesday I start work, and next week is the new school year for the boys. Ollie moves onto the next section in school, the CP. He's going to be getting homework. We're just getting used to the fact that he can speak.
An update on our cash problems, turns out that German train accepts credit cards. So we did a few day trips to nearby towns. We also found a huge pharmacy that takes them. We loaded up on muesli, corn flakes, milk, sunscreen, deodorant and other odd products. We also bought 3 pieces of fruit from a street vendor with our last small change. With almost no cash, Marie complained that she couldn't just buy things. Every cloud has a silver lining. It was less stressful than we'd thought in the end.
Then a couple of days later, the bank spat out 400 euros, and we all said yippee! The boys were really pleased. Our accommodation is always paid in cash, so it's good timing.
Currently in Torino on the way home. Last stop was Switzerland. Don't go there unless you're feeling stupidly rich. Will write up more once I load my 2000 odd photos onto the computer at home.
