A Rare Ray of Sunshine
Nach soooo langer Zeit gibt es endlich wieder einen leise glimmenden Hoffnungsschimmer. Der natürlich im Sommer gnadenlos verlöschen wird, aber freuen wir uns wenigstens über wenige Wochen mit weniger grausamen Fußball als sonst. Dank Florian Kohfeldt. Man muss es einfach mal so deutlich sagen. Der Mann ist gut und hat auch das nötige Glück bislang.…
Angel of Death – Infinity Wars, here I come!
Motherfucker. Singapore rocks. I even grew a pair of wings. Now I’m unstoppable and will join the Avengers to fight Thanos!!! #TeamCapForever
No suffering at all in Leiden
I have been fortunate enough in the last couple of months to be able to perform some work for a client in the Netherlands, in the beautiful small town of Leiden to be precise. I really consider myself lucky, because a) I enjoy working with the people there a lot and b) I otherwise would…
Year of the Dog
We arrived at the right time, on (Chinese) New Year’s Eve. That meant some of the eatery choices were a bit limited, but even on a day like this Singapore has to offer so much … . So, we had a supernice breakfast at “Plentyfull” (Millenia Walk) and then another great lunch at “Sufood” (Raffles…
Leaving NZ
I’ve already fallen behind again, but rest assured, you haven’t missed too much. After four very nice days in Ohope, we drove across the Island to spend our last night in Piha. I still remember very fondly the beach and the waves I was enjoying a few years ago together with my faithful Harald, his…
Ohope Beach / Whakatane
Fourth time we come to this wonderful, fantastic, beautiful, quiet, relaxed, marvelous, paradisical spot. Probably fair to say that this is our favorite place in NZ. I’ve written about Ohope so many times, so I won’t repeat myself. 11km of wonderful, almost empty, sandy beach. Nice surf. Great food. Lovely ice cream. Berry orchards. Macadamia…
Tongariro Northern Circuit
We left beautiful Cape Palliser with a heavy heart early Wednesday morning for the long drive to Whakapapa Village, which is the starting point for the Tongariro Northern Circuit multi-day hike. We took it slow, meandering through the Hutt Valley and the took the Manawatu scenic route, very beautiful and definitely a spot we need…
Cape Palliser
Remote, rugged, beautiful. Cape Palliser. That’s were we headed to Monday morning, taking it slow through the Hutt Valley and then a superbly scenic drive down to and along the coast. Wow. It’s really hard to stay focussed on the road here with fantastic ocean views on the one side and sheer cliffs or bluffs…
Fiji, Fiji, Fiji!
Hamilton? Hamilton! Hamilton? Wtf are they doing in Hamilton? That doesn’t make any sense, logistics wise. True. But I always thought that the traveling salesman should be fucked up his NP-complete arse anyway. It was the Reisebegleitung’s birthday and the NZ Sevens Tournament was on and I’d bought tickets for the finals day as a…
