C & C globetrotting around the world…

Our flight from KL to Frankfurt was at 3am, so we spent the night at the airport. We flew with Kuweit Airways, so our flight went from KL to Kuweit and then to Frankfurt. On the flight from KL, there were lots of Indonesians going on a pilgrimage to Mecca. There were all so small and had obviously never been on a plane before. They were also collecting all the salt, pepper and napkins we got, so we gave them ours as well. They were so happy. It was funny to see.

We arrived in Trier on Good Friday and we were happy to see Christoph’s parents after 8 months. The next day we went to the city for some shopping and had “Rindsrouladen” (beef rolls) – Christoph’s favourite German dish, so his mom makes every time we go. On Easter Sunday, we went all four to Trier for Easter Mass at the “Liebfrauenkirche”, Church of our Lady. The big church next to the Dome in down-town Trier has been recently renovated and is really beautiful. It is shaped like a rose, which is quite uncommon. It is also the oldest Gothic church in Germany, dating back to the 13^th century.

We had lunch at a good restaurant in the Ruwer valley with the seasonal white asparagus. Around 3-4pm we indulged in the wonderful German tradition of “Kaffee und Kuchen” – coffee and cake. It was a crisp spring day outside, but it felt bitterly cold for us who came from +40 degrees in Asia. Therefore, we watched the amazing sunset from indoors. We really enjoyed having great German wine from various regions that Christoph’s dad so carefully selects. After a short stay in Trier, we’re off to Romania, but we’ll be back soon!
