Liebe Clausens,
der Blütenhof ist ein besonderer Ort und es ist ein Geschenk in Mitten dieser herrlichen Natur Teil Eures Team gewesen zu sein. Es war wohl mit Abstand auch das schönste Bett in Europa: unzählbare Sterne, ein türkisglitzernder See am Morgen und diese unfassbar kraftvollen Berge.
Danke für Eure Herzlichkeit, Offenheit und Umsicht.… read more
