Ma and Kri (this time Magnus and Kristine) flew down a sunny day in July to pick up the keys and move in to our Casa! Kri was very excited, she had not been inside our new home before! But before we drove down to Sotogrande we needed to stop by IKEA to pick up something to sleep on, and some supplies to help us through the first night and day! The most important things on the list were mattresses, wineglasses, candles and led-lights on batteries (as we had no electricity yet!).
Our suitcases were full of bedding, towels, kitchen supplies, tools and work clothes. So needless to say, our little box-car was jam packed full with two mattresses, two big suitcases and two bags and two in-flights, and lots of other stuff from IKEA. We successfully got our keys just in time before the agent closed for the day, and made our way "home". No electricity though (which we knew), but we had water! And luckily in July the cold water in the tap is not really cold, so a shower was doable, a quick one that is...!!
Our fist evening was spent with a take away pizza, a bottle of red wine, Marianne on the phone, Magnus with a headlight on, on the mattresses set up in the livingroom as a sofa! One on the floor, the other-one up agains the wall as a back rest! Great to be home! The next days were spent at Carrefour, Habitat, IKEA. A home was created!!
