We are living in Basel, Switzerland and we have two daughthers. They will be soon 15 and 13 years old. They were very confuse in the beginning, when we told their about the new plans. But now they are happy to begin this new life. We are really exciting.

My husband works in an international company. This is the reason about this change. For me and for him, South Africa is not new at all. We spend our last fareaway holidays without a children in this country. It was in 2002.
But obviuslly, we did not visit the hole country. We visited some places in South Africa like Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paar, Hout Bay, Simons Town and the Cape of Hope. Most of the places in the Wine Route. But now, is our opportunity to know more about this beautiful land. And the others countries like Namibia.

For us is the time to realize this fact. A couple of months before, was difficult. We do not have any information about when we will left our actual home. Now we thint our daughther will begin the school in august. We don´t have any specific plan about the move. We just wait and we are preparing all documents.
