Welcome to our blog! Our little family consists of Meryem (38), husband Arthur (40), Femke (3 years) and baby Lente. We live in Cairo, Egypt since mid September 2009.

Cake & grandma/uncle in Izmir
To celebrate Femke's 1st birthday we, grandma Vacide and uncle Ab, had cake at famous patisserie "Reyhan" in Izmir. Femke of course thought the candle was more interesting than the cake, although she put 2 fingers in the cake in the end as well... She tasted the orange-pineapple cake by licking off one of the spoons...
After the Reyhan experience we went into the Fuar and enjoyed a ride in a Ferris wheel and had a nice view over Izmir... But the 32nd floor from the Hilton hotel gives a better view. There we enjoyed our most expensive cola in Izmir (8 ytl per glass).
Cafe Crown recently opened, it is connected to the Swiss Otel; on the picture below Arthur and uncle Ab; and Meryem and her mother...
