Did the Hausfrau save the day?

There was certainly some legwork involved in the move to the new apartment on October 1st.

We ended up storing three very large backpacks at the Hauptbahnhof (central train station), and our RO was kind enough to put a whole bunch of our belongings in the back of her car.

The kids and I took a ferry from Bürkliplatz in the city to Meilen, which is on the East bank of the lake, and then another ferry across the lake.

The sofa-bed arrived on time, and the air freight arrived on time. So we headed off to pick up our luggage from the Hauptbahnhof only to discover we'd forgotten the ticket, and didn't have our passports with us. So we had to go back 'home' and then back to the city, and by the time we got home it was about 9pm, and the kids were bordering on psychotically tired.

So everything went fairly smoothly...

Except for the smell in the apartment.
