In our 2nd day on the road we were luckier. There was no jam and we reached our destination quite fast. But before we had the pleasure to drive through the Maritime Alps. They are located between Italy and the Cote d’Azur and we spent hours and hours crossing bridges and tunnels but with an amazing view of the coast. If you get easily sick by driving, this is nothing for you.

The kids have 2 weeks free from school (Whitsun holidays) and we both need to work. What shall we do? Before Covid this was a huge challenge and the family was doomed to stay at home and try to entertain the kids inside your own 4 walls.

The time always fly when we are in Brazil. We visit family, friends and then it‘s already time to go back. But we managed to visit at least one main attraction: the Sugar Loaf. The kids couldn’t remember our last visit as they were too small. Now they enjoyed and hopefully will take some good remembrance from this day.

After 3 long pandemic and chaotic years we finally managed to go visiting my family in Brazil. We even requested 1 day leave by the kids’ school, so that we could start already on friday. We left Germany in a cold rainy day…typically April.
