1.2.8 - 1.3.8 Sickness Again

The 2nd of Jan is a holiday in Switzerland and so nothing is open again expect the bahnhof. Uncle Aschi was sick with sinus problems and so we went to the bahnhof Apoteke for medicine and that was the extent of our day besides a game.
The 3rd of Jan began early with Auntie Kim whistling her meat all morning. Uncle Aschi was up all night with Kaioa and Auntie Kim so it was decided that "the Americans"would venture out on there own to let everyone else sleep and recover. We made it to IKEA by ourselves and put the kids in the play place for 1.5 hrs then had lunch and met Heidi M at the mall by the stadium and did some shopping. We once again put all the kids in the play spot and then an hour later they called to say Hannes was whistling his meat and to come get the 6 kids. Off we went to home were the convalescing Uncle Aschi had transported 2 cords of word and was working on stacking it. We then worked on trying to fix the car as someone put 4 ltrs of gas in the diesel. Sorry no pictures. Maybe tomorrow. Tomorrow we have plans for going to downtown Berne and also to the Rotenbuehlers for dinner.

I don't like the sound of this whistling meat business... Is that something only Swiss people do? ;) Hope everyone is better. We've been loving following along on your trip!

We were wondering about the whistling your meat business too. Is there a vaccination for this?

...and if any of you wondered, my DH meant "cords of wood." Just in case you were imagining my bro-in-law furiously stacking typeface or something.
