Sunday dawned rather overcast and it looked very unlikely as light started to appear in the eastern sky that a rising sun out of the ocean,that we had hoped for,wasnt going to appear as we wanted.But there you go that is nature and lets face it the weather more than often doesnt always perform the way we want it to.
Still it was quite magical to lie in bed and watch the light in the sky change an Read on...

Myrtle Beach is the hub on the Grand Strand, a 60 mile string of beaches along the SC coast. Along with the great beaches, there are spectacular golf courses, making this a great vacation destination.

I spent a relaxing day on the beach. Read on...

We were up and on our way soon after 6am. Once we got out of the town, we drove sooo many miles without seeing a single place to stop for coffee. Finally, we spotted the Silver Lake Mercantile. The place was so and the owners were quite friendly. The lady had a lot of unusual decorations outside, reminding of my wife. We grabbed our coffees and continued down the numerous small roads that would ev Read on...
Hier in Porto konnte ich heute sogar bis 11:00 frhstcken und das war auch sehr angenehm. Danach startete ich meinen Spaziergang durch diese traditionsreiche Stadt. Ich ging vorbei an zwei Kirchen und dann etwas ins Tal hinunter, als ich endlich vom Ufer des Douro die berhmte Brcke sah (Ponte Dom Luis I). Sie ist schon sehr beindruckend und ist als Metallbrcke vielleicht mit der Harbour Bridge in S Read on...

The last blog was posted on 9th October which is almost a month ago. What does this signal? Boredom, loss of interest or a sense that this little pesky virus is no longer ne Read on...
