The times, they are a-changing
Indeed. I will be changing jobs soon and I’m very excited to see what the future holds in store for me. More once things have settled down and the ink has dried. In the meantime I’m writing this on a national express bus from Heathrow to Bristol. Why Bristol? Because it’s only 50 minutes by…
Deutschland muss immer noch sterben
Petra Pau wird beleidigt und bedroht. Keiner macht was. Aber wehe jemand veröffentlicht einen Post, in dem zweimal Allah vorkommt oder sagt, dass die Telekom doof ist – ruckzuck stehen die Bullen vor der Tür und eine Abmahnung liegt im Briefkasten. Geplante Flüchtlingsunterkünfte werden wiederholt angezündet. Nix passiert. Nazis randalieren vor Flüchtlingsunterkünften, bedrohen und verletzen…
Tegel wie man es kennt
Alle stehen seit dreißig Minuten am Gepäckband, nichts tut sich. British airways ebenfalls wie man sie kennt, niemand lässt sich blicken. Ergibt zusammen eine brillante Mischung aus Inkompetenz, Unwillen und Dummheit. Globe ground und British airways, zwei die zusammen gehören. (in ein tiefes loch)
We heart Calico Cupboard Old Town Cafe and Bakery
On our way from Mossyrock to Vancouver BC we experienced the great American dream, traffic jams galore. Great to see all those eco conscious Seattle hipsters taking their suvs for a drive to shop two vegan gluten-free potatoes. Or something like that. So we we were royally pissed off by the time we had passed…
Operation Mountain Garlic
Today’s our last day on Mt Rainier, we’re heading back to Vancouver tomorrow. But what a beautiful day it is. Not a cloud in the sky, perfect mountain weather for a serious hike. ☺ Our lovely host made us some fresh juice before we took off, apples, carrots, lots of ginger, and lots of garlic.…
Tobruk
Portland, I meant Portland, tobruk is just an anagram, right? So, we had a fabulous time in pdx. Great food, nice people. Our favorite hike was to twisted falls in the Columbia River gorge. It’s crowded on the first two miles but empties out afterwards. And you can just knock people off the path and…
Portland, rock city?
I really like Portland, Oregon. But I keep wondering – having seen for guys with led zeppelin t-shirts in the last two days, what is going on here? Some new disgusting hipster feature that has not been revealed in Europe yet? Two of those guys were really young, too, like early twenties. Je ne comprends…
Land of the processing fees AND home of the brave
This was actually the first time I’ve entered the USA, aka God’s own country, via car. And I cannot recommend it. In addition to having to pay for the bloody esta, which you always have to have of course, we had to pay 6usd processing fee each. Just another example of how they like to…
Squamish, we love you
Well, it turned out to be more than one rain day. More like three, from Friday to Saturday. I guess it was much needed and we made the best of it. We did lots of hikes through the, errrh, rainforest, around many pretty lakes and rivers. They also have a sweet little farmers’ market going…
Oh Canada
🍁 the maple leaf. Canada day one. It’s raining. Apparently they had a really hot summer until, well, I arrived. 😁 when we arrived yesterday evening our lovely airbnb hosts told us about the drought and that they were on water rationing. Well, I guess we don’t have to worry about taking long showers any…
