Tuesday night until 2.30 we were busy with packing and packing and packing… Wednesday morning after breakfast we were finally on the road. But first we waved goodbye to our neighbors, our birthday-boy (grand)father (80 years young now) and finally paid a visit to Demaco, where all employees were waiting for saying goodbye to us….
