house with all sorts of luxurious goodies.
“Well it’ll do for now I suppose”
Thankfully they were a really grounded down to earth family. Was interesting to look through some of they’re recent photos of a charity bash they attended with Hans (The Dad of the family) in photos with some of the Kennedys. “Hang on a minute that’s bloody Swartzenegger’s wife isn’t it?” I was thinking. Apparently they’ve had dinner with the Kennedys. Bloody Nora! Was also interesting to chat to him about driving around the Nuremburg race track. I tried to sound as knowledgeable as possible but as he’d actually done the real thing and my experience was only limited to doing it on a video game it didn’t go to well. Was nice of him to show me his spanking new Carrera and inform me that a good mate of his actually designs Porsches (he’s just started work on the new 911 turbo apparently). Really nice bloke though and a lovely family.
Went on a little day trip around the area to see the sights. Visited Newport Beach which apparently has some of the most expensive real estate in America. I suppose it was a pretty nice area but nothing that really sets it apart from other costal towns Ive been to on my travels.
“There are certainly worse places to be”
However my favourite sight was this mad woman pushing her dog around in a baby stroller.
“I take the ruff with the smooth”Also got to admire some impressive architecture:
“Haha! Fooled you all. This is actually Ikea”
Yes, went into Ikea, but not for furniture. They have a little shop at the exit where they sell all matter of Swedish food and Teddie went bonkers and bought 20 bucks worth. I guess it was like me getting loads of Monster Munch and Quavers when I was in the British shop in Sydney.
Overall a pleasant couple of days spent relaxing and brushing up on my Swedish. I can now ask people to have a drink at my house in Swedish. Useful.
