These are late but better late than never. Cornelia spent from early July to late September 2003 with me here. The first few weeks Barbara was here, too, but the majority of the time we were on our own.

The first days of course were spent sight-seeing, doing the obligatory immediate excursion to the beach (not much fun in cold July).

Conny went to school while she stayed here and liked it a lot at Miami Primary.

A couple of pictures taken by Robert when Conny stayed with them for a few days while I was away: they went to the O'Reilly Plateau, did the rainforest treetop walk there and did the obligatory parrot feeding.

Cornelia's birthday in August was spent at Seaworld, a local amusement park with a couple of zoo-like features.

Her last day in Au we spent mostly at Robert and Anitta's place, making good use of their pool.

And in the end, Conny went home all by herself - a bit of an adventure for somebody just 8 years old!
