The history of Casa KriMa started in May 2010. Kri was looking around on properties in Spain while she was sitting and working in Kazakhstan (in her lunch break of course..). And she found a property that looked really good. The pictures were useless, but the data that was there was enough to spark an interest. And luckily Ma and fam was in Spain on vacation that week, so they drove down and had a look. And they really liked it! So from then on, it all went pretty fast! And, swoooosh, the home away from home was ours!
As a small note to the story though, Kri did live in the same house for over a year a few years back. So what might seem like an "impulse buy" is not that crazy!

Vinterferien 2011
3 generasjoner på tur! Kristoffer, Marianne & Magnus, og "mormor & morfar". Det er første gang morfar besøker Casa KriMa! Og hans gode innsats er internett! Telefonica kom til slutt, og internett ble innstallert! Hurra for internett!

Kazakh-gjengen på tur!
4 KZvenner på tur!
Kristin har vært flink og skrevet om oppholdet:
Utrolig godt å vite at det er vinter hjemme mens vi lesker oss i varmen i sør. Vi endte opp med å være fire kollegaer som koste oss med vin og god mat - mao, det gode liv:

Ikke så ille utsikt fra den sørvendte balkongen
Kristine og Olof koser seg med rosse
Jeg forelsket meg i en John Deere vi kom over ved marinaen
På bølja'n blå (Catrin, Kristin og Kristine)
Trenger egentlig ingen kommentar, men er Gibraltar i bakgrunnen hvis noen lurte

Rømmer fra novembermørket!
Mamma, Marianne og Kristine rømmer fra det kalde mørke nord til litt lys i sør!
Fortsatt en del som skal fikses, men vi har stort sett de møblene og utstyret vi trenger. Nå er det mer de "hjemmekoselige" tingene som mangler. Som gardiner og bilder og stæsj. Og seng til Kri....
Litt kjølig inne, for hovedsikringen vår er litt liten, så vi kan ikke kjøre A/C varmen og noe annet, da popper den (vi får snart ny, men det tar litt tid). Men på dagene er det sol og fint, og vi er ute og farter, og finner en utekrok og nyter en kaffe! Deilig å kjenne solen varme!
Og seng til Kri blir kjøpt inn utenfor Cadiz, og puter og gardiner kommer på plass. Nå begynner det å bli finfint her!

The first trip to our Casa!
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!!
