Goodbye Berlin – a few more hours to Groningen. Walked to the bakery, had coffee with some baked nice things. From there it is only a minute to the tram stop. Now imagine: rush hour traffic at the station and only two machines for tickets. A looooong line and most of the people do not…
Part 2 of my Tourist Day in Berlin. We pick it up where we left in Part 1. Humbold University Friedrich II – he does look lost? I guess it is Hermes Russian Embassy The British Embassy Lots of things going on in front of the Brandenburg Gate Why not? He is not a happy…
Got to Berlin late afternoon. Had to cross half the city to get to Andy’s place. I did meet Andy about half a century ago on an island in Thailand. More or less we do meet every winter somewhere and he did visit me in Stuttgart as well. Time to pay him a visit in…
Street art in Łódź From the train station in Lódź it was a 15 minutes walk to the hotel. I did a small detour because I could walk most of the way in a nice park. Check in was smooth at the Boutique Hostel. The room was 14€ a night – it was clean and…
A few days after I got back from Amsterdam it was time again to hit the road again. Decided on a “3 Stop Tour” Poland – Berlin and Dutchland again. Visit friends and see some of Europe. The trip did start at the Bus Station at Stuttgart Airport. There was too much traffic so I…

The best way to explore a city is walking the streets. This way you will see the most and have time to soak it all up. So lets walk a bit :-) Took this picture in 2011 – walked the street again and it still looks the same – almost Guess they do clean the…
Today Gerben took us to see some of the reclaimed land. The Dutch water management is like no other on the planet. There are pumps everywhere and water as well. Often you have on one site of the street water a metre below and on the other only a few centimetres from street level. Half…
Dee, Jouke and Gerben where in Amsterdam. And I could squeeze a week in. So it was off to Amsterdam once again. They had a caravan on a small camp ground about 8 kilometres from Amsterdam Centraal. Great to do this with my bike! The Deutsche Bahn BS So I went online and looked for…
Good Morning! Up from my mattress on the floor and to the window. Open the curtain and: Well – another gray morning :-( The boys are still sleeping – time to shower and make some coffee and my breakfast. After they came back from their breakfast the clouds where gone so we decided to go…
