Happy Birthday Marco!

Hi All

In spite of our Hong Kong illness which has plagued us over the last few days, we managed to celebrate Marco's birthday in true Malgarini style - with a bottle of champagne and a HUGE chocolate cake. Marco's mother, Gudrun, makes the best chocolate cake I have ever tasted. Even without the use of my tastebuds (thanks to the flu) it still tasted wonderful. Here are some pictures of Marco blowing out his candles, which were sufficient for the needs of an entire third world household for half a year.











Last night we had dinner at the Donauturm revolving restaurant, which is 170 metres above ground. The food was excellent, with huge portions, but most exciting was the view. Here is a picture of the parents enjoying their meal, and the wonderful view we had during our meal.









Tomorrow we head off to Barcelona for the Spain - Italy - Germany trip. I hope to get the opportunity to update the blog along the way, but if not I'll do a huge information dump when we get back next Saturday.

Cheers to all!

Monica & Marco
