Had a smooth flight from Stuttgart to Atlanta where the chaos did start. Some valve problem at one engine so we had to wait in the plane. Than – if you want to get off you can. So some people did go off again some did stay. Than everybody off the plane – you can…
If people think about the houses in Venice, they usually have the big palazzo at the main canals in mind. But this is only part of the beauty of Venice. There are so many quiet streets to walk with so many houses to see that are not beautiful but have a lot of charm. Together…
People People People – sure the second most interesting thing when I travel. In Bangkok i can spend days sitting at the Gecko Bar and watch the world go by. Unfortunate we had only a very short time in Venice so you can not really sit at one place for a long time to do…
Of course there are a lot of other boats on the water in Venice not only Gondolas! All in all it was a little bit like Istanbul sometimes. Specially when you are at the old custom house where the canals are wide. A lot of traffic – one can sit for a long time before…
A Gondola is usually propelled by a Gondolier (since 2010 there is one woman who is allowed to do that too). The Gondola is like a symbol for Venice. If you see one on a picture you will think of Venice as well. For centuries gondolas were the most widely used boat and form of…
Roaming the streets of Athens one night i had to stop for this very special Mini Cooper! This is the smallest Mini Cooper i have seen so far. Would love to take it for a spin – it looks so much fun. Did you ever saw a smaller one??
Far out at La Defense – you can see the Arc de Triomphe in the far distance This is the way to go: House Boat! These guys are from The Dutchland and they went a few hundred meters to the left and parked the boat there. Nice way to travel! You need a way bigger…
This time it was from the water of the river up to the little streets on one of the hills in Paris. I love to get lost in a city. You walk here you walk there and you see something that looks interesting so you go there. With the map on the iPhone no problem…
Now the bridge is full – you will have a hard time to find a spot for your lock! Looking for an escape I would too – they did hold that “kiss” for about 30 seconds as the guy that took the pictures was super slow Memorial for the Deported in the 2nd World War….
I killed your child I kill you too I kill you fish Oh Boy!! Yes – i do not understand this piece of art!
What better than walking the streets and luck around? Paris is not like Istanbul but they do have some water in the city. And a few people do have boats in the city. Not a lot left from the old prison – but they did put a golden kid up there!
It does not matter where you are – most of the wide streets have a market one or two times a week. Mostly food but also cloths and household goods are sold. Nice to stroll the stalls and enjoy the smell and the colours of the display. And if you are hungry – plenty of…
