We had an awesome day yesterday. It was cold but sunny and we had 2 play dates! We met the wife(Paulina) of one of Stephan's coworkers for coffee and some playtime in the morning. Her husband is Greek, she is Polish and they have a little boy about Max's age and a little girl about 2. They have been here for years but remember what it was like to be new and not speak much of the language which is great. In the afternoon we met a German woman (Melanie)who was raised in the UK and her daughter (Elena)who speaks only English right now to try out the indoor swimming pool in the center of town. It was really fantastic. The water is about 90 in the up stairs Therme room. It is a tropical looking pool with two story glass windows. There is a ledge on the side of the pool that is about 4 feet wide and only about 2 feet deep so the kids can play easily and the parents can stand in the deeper water in the middle. There was a hot tub and a smaller water area with slides and animals that spray water for the really little kids. There was also a round area with fast running water that pulls you a long like a river. We were really surprised when we got in and went speeding around the corner. It was quite difficult to get out of the currant once you were in but Max thought it was fun. It was like zipping around a bundt cake pan that is wide enough for 4 people or so. Hope that explains it. No video from that trip for various reasons. The downstairs has swimming lanes for adults and a spa area with sauna and steam rooms. Apparently the spa area is coed and clothes are not worn. I didn't check that out yet. Not sure what I think about the coed part! The pool is open until 8pm and 2am some nights. On the 2 am nights the pool and spa are nude. Sounds interesting.
One other thing to mention is that everywhere we go (shops, restaurants, even the pool) has little candies or toys to give the kids. We are getting quite a collection of cars and gummy bears!
Well Max is up and very upset that Stephan ate the last of the chocolate marshmellows (Mini Dickmans) so I have to go. More later....
