Today was another jog scheduled but I missed it to do. To much beer for being motivated going for a jog at 6.00 am in the centre of town and I just can not be bothered to get me up and running. …

So here we go with my first bigger trip of the year. Cruising around East-Europe for 4 weeks. …
I have advanced quite successfully in my studies and not more much to do, though not there yet! However, all seems set for going places early May.
Until May I am buzzing around and during these days I had a wonderful stroll along the river, a clear-blue sky and later a wonderful sunset. I don’t have much time, but I do appreciate any free moment and just enjoy the upcoming spring time.

It is turning a tradition going for Easter to Michelstadt. A place you would normally never have the idea for going to, but it is a perfect start fort the year’s travelling season. Not too far away for getting to and lots of things to do and see.
Winter is over, the first flowers are blossoming and time is ripe for leaving the winter castle getting out into the fresh.
The room is booked again, surrounded by lots of country trails and since my knee has been fully restored again (big thanks to Gesche) I am even more looking forward to the start of this season.
And call me old or whatever, but sipping a coffee next to Germany’s oldest town hall has something …
We were in Kenya early December. Invited for a wedding and visiting friends in Wundanyi, a place I’ve been to several times already and where we have a few friends.
The Posho-mill is still working, but running a private kind of charity is difficult. Lots of expectations meeting the difficulty to honour all of them. That is the issue.
But we shall try to buy a plot of land and see what we can turn it into.
Kenya is indeed one of the few private places I have come back several times. I just appreciate being with the people down there and to see, how they manage their life!
Many things have been written in and about London. London is omnipresent in all areas of life, politics and culture. Londoners say „the one who does not like London does not know London!“ Some French instead stated „Si vous n’aimez pas la France, quittez la!“ This is the self-explaining difference ho the Londoners consider themselves in pure reservation even though London is not England and France not Paris. But London is indeed one of my favourite metropolises, if not the most favourite!…
Whenever you think about Greece, you think of a blue sea, white villages, seafood and Syrtaki. Lately all media were full of reports about a corrupt state system, overpaid civil servants, voluntary inability to adapt to the new and a society giving each and everybody but itself the responsibility for the current national mess. For outsiders it is very difficult to perceive a coherent image: being a friendly tourist destination versus a country on the brink of total collapse….
A place which was a fishing village just a few decades ago turned into an Eldorado for architects, into a global financial and business centre an, a hotspot for all kinds of activities and people. Dubai is offering unlimited possibilities to each and everyone but remains nevertheless one of the most cosmopolitan, thrilling, active and somehow tolerant places in the world under the condition you accept local habits and rules….
The Balkan – for many synonymous with chaos, poverty and safety issues, so it was for me, but was proven wrong! The countryside is beautiful, the people greet you whole-heartedly and food is nice. Even the roads prove to be much better than expected….
