Diwali

Diwali is the festival of lights of the Buddhists, something like Christmas here. The house is cleaned, new clothes are bought and, of course, lots of lights decorate the house. Many houses sparkle and glitter. Of course, presents are a must.
We were invited to Birgit and Uwe's house, but first things first.

Rooftop Sunset Party

Sweta, the daughter of Raj, our German-speaking tour guide, is training in the hotel industry. The trainees had the task of organising a rooftop sundowner party. Each student had to organise a few guests. Raj asked us if we wanted to come and that's when we met Birgit and Uwe. We got on very well straight away, so they invited us to Diwali.

Pool Party

Uwe set up his complete DJ system with light show in the garden, what a huge effort! It looked really great. The sound is really good and the music selection is top!
Linda from here and Mike from Hamburg were also there. We had sausages and meatballs with pasta salad, salad from Linda and bread from Markus. For dessert we had a Saxon egg tart and a Swiss apple tart. Drinks were also provided, so we were well catered for.
It was a great evening with lovely company, good food and the best light and sound. It couldn't have been better. Many thanks to Birgit and Uwe for the huge effort.

And then the team from Bazar Cannonier came by spontaneously and we had a lot of fun.
Emilia wanted to order bread straight away, which Markus declined with thanks, we agreed that we would do a training session. Somehow the group with Birgit and Uwe has a running joke about chocolate beef.... Markus then explained that we once had a chocolate menu at the Waldstätter Hof in Switzerland years ago, with beef fillet and a cocoa-flavoured demi-glace, and that's when the idea of a baking and cooking session was born. It remains exciting...
