This weekend we had Dorien's birthday party. There are some advantages of having your birthday on the 26th of December, but this also means that your party is normally a few weeks later, when everybody is back from Christmas holidays. Dorien invited 5 of her friends. The plan was to go to the Hash for a "treasure hunt", but when we turned up at the run site ("the house" from the 15th of Jan blog post) there was no one there. We still don't know what happened, but we will find out eventually. Anyway, we did a walk and some climbing in Wadi Digla, then hide and seek in the visitor centre. (This visitor centre is a typical Egyptian project: a beautiful building at an excellent location, on a viewpoint high above Wadi Digla. However, since our arrival 4 1/2 years ago this has been closed for unknown reasons, but speculation is of course that money didn't change hands properly - a shame).
Back home for cake and playing in the garden, followed by pizza, a movie and a sleepover in our basement, which is ideally equipped for that. We just close the door at the top of the stairs and not a sound comes up. After a short night and some breakfast play in the garden continued, it had a lot do do with horses. Just before lunch the girls got picked up and we spend the afternoon preparing for the move and doing homework.
