Tag drei, es ist knapp 07:20 als der Wecker klingelt. Mit morgendlicher Gelassenheit, des Urlaubs durchaus würdig, drücke ich ihn im Halbschlaf weg. Wenige Sekunden später 08:15, huch – wir haben doch von 08:00 bis 09:00 unser Frühstückszeitfenster. “Juliiii, wir müssen los – ich glaub, ich hab verschlafen.” Auch das zweite Frühstück lässt wenig zu…

2023, Tokyo – kein Palast, aber Akihabara, Futsuka-me
An unserem ersten, richtigen Tag in Tokyo erwachten wir voller Vorfreude auf ein authentisches, japanisches Frühstück – und wir sollten nicht enttäuscht werden: Makrele mariniert in Miso, schmackhafter Reis (Markus war nachhaltig begeistert!), Kenchin-Suppe, japanisches Omelette, Rindfleisch mit Taro (Wurzel), eingelegtes Gemüse und viele andere Leckerbissen in kleinen Schälchen. Pappsatt und um diese großartige Erfahrung…
2023, Tokyo – Anreise nach Japan, Shonichi
Abreise Leobendorf, Gregor ist unser kurzfristiger Anreiseverkürzer und hat sich gestern Abend noch spontan dazu bereiterklärt, uns direkt am Flughafen abzuliefern. Dadurch hatten wir ausreichend Zeit nach der Sicherheitskontrolle uns jeweils Tee und Obstsalat zu genehmigen. Die erste Flugetappe nach Abu Dhabi legen wir gut in der Zeit zurück, die Bordauswahl an Filmen und Unterhaltung…
Barcelona 2022 – novè dia
Our last day in Barcelona for this vacation was at hand. We still had two of the total ten planned rooms for today up, two other rooms as we originally had twelve in preparation were cancelled due to lack of GM availability. So what was left to see? A marvellous zoo, which I would recommend…
Barcelona 2022 – vuitè dia
Were we aware how intense this day will be? No, not by a long shot, but we had four rooms planned, so we started with a quick breakfast on our way to our first room. The location of the breakfast was reasonable, but the service rather unmotivated so I won’t name more details here… A…
Barcelona 2022 – setè dia
Relaxing. 2×2 days and games, we take the saturday for sight-seeing. The weather is perfect, as it really was for all days during our stay, we neither got wet not sunburn (with protection) and could use every day to walk through the city in the last week of May. So after a very-quick breakfast, we…
Barcelona 2022 – Sisè dia
So, our seventh day already – but the second one for escape games and intense sightseeing. This morning we take a bit slower and arrive around 1100 with the bus for a fruity, intense and colorful brunch at Zenith. Our Highlight? The sangria. Our learning? Wow – how busy can a breakfast-location be, we should…
Barcelona 2022 – cinquè dia
Our fifth day in Barcelona starts with a good breakfast at Latocafe. Their El Nino Toast in combination with Mimosas ensures smiles, I have to admit the quality of the food was excellent, but they should reconsider “unlimited” Mimosas, while two of us picked right that deal, they were not only slow but also surprised…
Madrid 2022 (Barcelona day four) – día cuatro
Our quarters were superior to Barcelona by the looks but not acoustics, so after a rather rough night, we started slow and picked us a good bakery for a snack-breakfast. The “PI” was lovely in many ways, disappointed on the absence of any hearty snacks, but the store and people were so nice, we would…
Madrid 2022 (Barcelona day three) – día tres
Short night, day bright? At least we leave when the rain comes and we have perfect travel conditions to Madrid! The ride to Madrid Atocha at up to 302km/h is crazy fast and at the same time: smooth. The landscapes are rewarding and show a variety of hills, different geological cross sections as you perceive…
