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…
The last few days with blue sky before the Winter 2017/2018 trip. Where to go? What to do? Over the Alps where the sky is still blue and the temperature is fine – at last in the daytime! So Italy is was – a nice road trip before Asia. Here are a few pictures: At…
Today in the evening we crossed the border to Austria. Booked a room in a small hotel in the mountains. Turned out that it belongs to a Dutch couple that got it a few years ago. We where the only guests and the place were really quiet. They made us a Pizza and after two…
Lago di Resia or Lake Reschen After a good breakfast at Apart Pension Bergfrieden in Nauders we pointed the car south towards Riva del Garda and crossed the border to Italy. The fourteenth century bell tower of Graun is all you can see from the village after the dam construction. The Swiss company Elektrowatt wanted…
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…

Poor hungry beast – bites stone now for the rest of time. Human and cow sculls – interesting combination. I wonder why they do not put a horse up there – why the cow? And that is the back – or the front of it all – depends from where you come. And since we…
The second part of the Summertrip 2015 pictures. Still in Vienna – still showing Grobi a bit of the city. I want to move into the left house. Not sure why but somehow…. Next stop: Hofburg. There is a little church and it is there when all the trouble with them stone guys starts. Here…
Grobi did pick me up from the airport and we did stop at the HQ. Changed the Dublin bag for the road trip camping bag and booked a last-minute 2 week vacation in Majorca for the fall mini trip. Then it was out of the door and we went for some beer. The next day…
