Iron Sky Tour 2012, VI (rest)

Finally got around to finishing this. We drove from Mesa Verde to Monticello, Utah and again, there’s nothing to complain about. This is really hard for us Germans, we are brought up to whinge and complain and moan and when we finally end up having a good time we are fucked because that’s against our…

Iron Sky Tour 2012, V

Mesa Verde. You can read all about it in Wikipedia, so I’m not going to repeat the obvious. It’s fascinating and really, really strange. First of all, it’s a rather long drive until you’ve reached the area where all the action is. There is, of course, a visitor center and you can book a ranger…

Iron Sky Tour 2012, IV

Tell you what, it’s totally hard to judge those distances in the sand dunes. And it’s a nice workout, too – three steps back for every step you take. But all the sweat was worth something – I discovered a secret that’s going to turn the world of historians upside down: Rommel lives – in…

Eilmeldung: Spanien ist Oiropameister

Gewundert, warum ich nix zur EM mitzuteilen hatte? Weil mir die ganze Scheiße auf den Sack geht. Um es mal ganz einfach und deutlich zu sagen. Die ganzen Spiele werden nur noch für Heineken, Coca-Cola, Mastercard, Sony und Co ausgetragen  und natürlich die schmierigen Funktionäre. Am Schlimmsten sind die widerlichen, selbstgerechten Schiedsrichter. Insofern: Ich froie…

Iron Sky Tour 2012, III

We did get a pretty cool car. Thank you, Avis. They gave us a brandnew (2 miles on the meter) 2012 Subaru Outback. With Harman Kardon speakers. 🙂 Buena Vista was nice, right on the foot of the mountains, in the middle of nowhere. Good place to stretch your legs. We stayed for two nights,…

Where’s your birth certificate?

We are near the end of our vacation here in the US of A. Currently hanging out in the Admiral’s Club Lounge at Denver airport and waiting for our flight. We got a complimentary upgrade to business class, which is very nice of British Airways. Thank You! Now, the past two weeks were really great.…

Obesity

Obesity. Somehow that’s the word that comes to my mind most frequently as we travel through Colorado and Utah. And I read somewhere that Colorado it’s supposed to be the «fittest» state … . Well, amazing. You really have to get up between five and six in the morning, otherwise the trails are no fun…
