The last afternoon in Florence for this trip. We continue where the last Blog Post ended and keep walking over the bridge to look a bit on the other side of the river. At the end of Piazzale degli Uffizi Florentine sculptor and master goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini. It stands on top of a fountain at…
Coming back from Heidelberg I was still not motivated to start working. A few days more – only a few please. So I asked my boss and he was not really happy but in the end he said: Yes. Great! (It really does help when you are your own boss!) Heike was never at the…
What better to end the European travel season than a trip to the mountains? We went to Nauders in Austria. There is a little hut from the Deutscher Alpenverein which you can rent. It sleeps about 12 people but we like to go with 3 or 4 only. Enough to enjoy the place. There is…
Yes – get up in the middle of the night girls and make some noise. We managed to be almost the first at the breakfast table. I will never understand!Since I offered to take food, wine and beer up the mountain they gave me most of it. Together with the camera gear it was over…
I was fresh out of jet lag from the trip to India when we went to the Alps a week after my plane got back from New Delhi. Steiner did pick me up and I spend the night at their place. It was Anjas birthday so we had Esslinger Champagne, Pizza and beer. And of…

We did stay 2 night at the Hanauer Hütte in Austria. A dorm bed in a 24 people dorm. A lot of snoring and noise in the very early morning. I have no clue why these people have to get up at 6 in the morning and have to go to bed at 10 in…
