Vor vier Jahren war ich zuletzt in Berlin und da es nun einige neue Attraktionen gibt, nutzte ich dieses verlngerte Wochenende zu einem Kurztrip in unsere Hauptstadt. Dabei bekam ich gute Qualitt zu einem ordentlichen Preis: mein 5 liegt in der Nhe des Bahnhofs Friedrichstrae und kostet nicht allzu viel. An allen drei Abenden gehe ich in ein bekanntes Restaurant in der Nhe und auch das ist nicht Read on...
Got your attention there. Today was spent in the very capable hands of Captain Kaylee and First Mate Tammy on board the Viewfinder, a small vessel that is part of Major Marine Tours. Our destination today was Northwestern Glacier and all the sites along the way during our 8.5 hour tour. I chose to sit outside so I didnt have to wear a mask the entire trip (although the mask did double as a way to Read on...
Singapore is famous for a lot of things; for its culture, economy, cuisine, and also for its cleanliness. This country is one of the cleanest countries in the whole world. If we take a look at Singapores history, it clear that a lot of effort has been put into its development. Despite being a small country, Singapore enjoys a very strong financial position. It is an investment hotspot in Southeast Read on...
We are back in Paris for the last leg of our trip. We rented a one bedroom Airbnb apartment in the Opera district. We are on the fourth floor but we can still hear and feel the underground metro. On the upside we are half block from the metro station and we have earplugs to block the noise.We have been to Paris multiple times this trip and years ago so we decide to do something different and that Read on...
The last place we stayed was another Heritance hotel, located south of Colombo in Ahungalla, after another beautiful drive through the mountains and jungle. This was intended to be more of a beach location and the least expensive hotel of our trip. It showed, but it was still nice! It seems mostly like it is probably a party place in normal times. They were trying to get us to join beach volleybal Read on...
The word Legend is often banded about, when describing sports stars. It is perhaps too easy a description. However, I can definitely say on November 23 1990, I saw a legend. The name. Michael Jordan. Air Jordan. His Airness. The Number 23. We back to MJ later in the blog. If the Chicago Bulls had made a trade decision at the time of the 1988 draft, the day would have been very different!

We are in Cabo San Lucas. This is our first time here. We chose Cabo because they do not have a problem with gangs or drug lords and they are keeping their Covid cases low. We flew here on Southwest but at the airport I see planes from every major airline. We rented a car and drove to Cabo. We took the toll road and there was very little traffic. We rented an Airbnb one block from the beach, it is Read on...
I finally figured out how to get to Santorini: ferry early morning to Naxos then high speed ferry. So I scheduled my friendly taxi driver at 5 am, got up, dressed, grabbed my backpack and left my humble cave. Soon after my start down the stone stairs, I full on fell forward, with no way to stop due to being loaded down. Hard on my knee, twisted my ankle and scraped my elbow. Great start. A woman w Read on...
Am gestrigen Sonntag war das Wetter sehr schn, ich hatte sonst nichts zu tun und daher besuchte ich den Mnchner Westpark. Dort war 1983 die Internationale IGA, die ich damals als Kind mit meinen Eltern besichtigte. Das ist natrlich schon lange her.
Ich wohne ja nun schon seit fast 8 Jahren in Mnchen und damit fast so lange, wie in Frankfurt/M. In dieser Zeit hatte ich 3 Jahre Projekte auerhalb, Read on...
The small town of Coonabarabran was where we based ourselves to tackle the Warrumbungles, a volcanic mountain range which lies within a National Park. Plugs, dykes and domes volcanic features within the park. The area is also a dedicated Night Sky Park, hosting the renowned Siding Springs Observatory, and we visited an outdoor astronomy park on our first night to see the stars. Donna the Astronome Read on...
