We moved to a different area of Berlin a few weeks ago, so I have to explore the new surroundings, find new ‘good’ places. Which I love. Yesterday afternoon went for an early dinner / late lunch at Damso Korean Teahouse. Lovely decorated and quiet, with very friendly folks running the place. I ordered a…
I’ll try and not rave too much about how much I like Singapore. But I DO like it, a lot. Wonderful place. I’m always trying to stay in different areas, helps with exploring different paths and layers of this huge place. We stayed at Katong Village and I can totally recommend this. Lovely area. Not…
It’s only a short drive from Omarama to Lake Tekapo. Friends of us who were bikepacking had rented a posh house there so we could spontaneously jump on their bandwagon and sneak in. Noice! Beautiful views of the lake and the mountains from the balcony. One evening we had clouds slowly creeping and flowing over…
The time had come to leave Wanaka and slowly start heading back towards CHC. We spent a couple of days in small town Omarama, a good “hub” to explore the region. Fortunately, Omarama has a good choice of motels, we like NZ motels! Yes, we really do! We kicked things off with a lovely day…
After climbing Isthmus peak, we switched to bikes. The wonderful Lake Dunstan trail was on the menu, and it turned out to be a tasty dish indeed. We had bike rental and track transport booked with Wanaka Bike Tours and started the trail in Clive to finish in Cromwell, then were picked up again and…
Wanaka was next on our list. We’d been there before a couple of times, but it’s been a while and we wanted to come back and spend more time. Good choice. Wanaka has changed a lot in the last 10-ish years or so, becoming a bit more queenstown-ish, growing a lot. But still small and…
The last couple of days have brought nice weather, and more importantly, the start of the ice cream season. That’s what we live for! 😊 Also, first nice bike tour of the year. Revolutionary May Day. Oi. https://www.komoot.com/tour/2207061713?ref=aso
Es tut so weh, dies zu schreiben. Aber die Realität ist so bitter: Fotzenfritz wird tatsächlich Kanzler. Und damit mindestens vier Jahre Rückschritt, bestenfalls Stillstand. Traurig, traurig. Aber zum Glück gibt es im Kleinen ab und an schöne Dinge: Dieser Sonnenuntergang in unserer Straße letzte Woche. Fotografiert auf dem Weg zum Termin mit einem Baufinanzierer.…
Ab Sonntag kommt der trumpstyle auch in Doitschland an die Macht. Traurig, aber erwartbar. Und das Gesicht des Untergangs könnte ekliger nicht sein. Aber wenigstens bleibt Berlin stabil, gestern morgen Lietzenburger Str gesehen:
Spent the second week of November in Portugal to escape the darkness and gloominess of Berlin. Berlin in November-March is truly horrible. Even more disgusting than the rest of the year. We went to a relatively lonely spot on the coast west of Lisbon, close to Cascais. A beautiful hotel built on the site of…
