WIEN, the first Impression

So far all is good. I have been childishly excited about this trip to Vienna. To be honest, I have not been so excited about a city trip in  a very long time (and believe me, I am always looking forward to traveling…). But there was something about my picture of Vienna that was very attracting. A little bit the … Read More

I am weak for such things

This is way and beyond and back to being charming. When I go for a night shower tonight my candle is matching the hotel towel. And Bedsheets. And and and. And by coincidence my toothbrush. ———————— Thank you Nicki for trading your book with me! I especially like how personal it is!

The Breakfast

You might have noticed by now that to me Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I could starve all day but if I do not get my breakfast I am screwed. So, I tend to pick hotels after their ability to make a proper breakfast. At Rösler haus in Fischbachau I experienced the most overwhelming breakfast of … Read More

Since the travel … Read More

Deutscher als Deutschland.

I am a bit ashamed that I have lived in Germany for 11 years and don’t know the country better. So me and my Swedish friend, Anders, made up a plan to give everything we got to get to know it better. Since the country is huge, we decided to concentrate on the southern regions. More precise, our goal was … Read More

Die schönste alle Ringe

Today I broke my favorite Ring. It was a gift from my dear friend Gonca from our last visit in München. It was made out of Lava stones and she had brought the ring from Bali. This morning it broke as I was standing on the balcony looking out over the Baverian countryside. The little stones fell down over the … Read More
