In a funny twist of fate, it seems that 2014 will be much the same as 2012 and 2013 have been, with family trips to somewhere in France and business trips to Indonesia and Kazakhstan. Germany: extensive trips comparable to 2013. 550 miles) drive back to Heidelberg/ Germany where we arrive around 18:00. Statistics & Maps.

Can the whole family live together in harmony during the school holidays? Germain’s Swiftlet – Aerodramus germani. Cattle Tyrant – Machetornis rixosa. Cattle Egret – Bubulcus ibis. Is it wrong of me to go birding to get away from the kids now that they are at home all day? Bravo if you have.
