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…
Barcelona 2022 – segon dia
A good night of sleep is everything you need. Barcelona was calling, so we had to heed her call. It seems rather not worth to consider getting up early in a city where breakfast cafés open around 10:30. We jumped into the metro L9 to Marina and took a short walk to our breakfast location…
Barcelona 2022 – primer dia
May 2022, after a strong pandemic time, it’s our first time “back out” for the better of a year. The memories of Florence are still present, especially on the food and heat, but this year’s anticipation of vacation was unprecedented. So we booked rather early, hoped the pandemic would follow the season like it did…
2021 – starting with Doctor Sleep
Well, this year did start quite strange, after a few days at home, I’ve spent the first day at work, was fully engaged and felt fit – just to spend the 5th at home with an upset stomach after a rough night. That said, with the three plush-cuddle-roughnecks everyday is a real pleasure. seeing them…
Kan/Mad: La Palma
Nach unserem Ausflug auf Lanzarote legen wir früh morgens in La Palma an, die Insel ist auf den ersten Blick deutlich grüner und wirkt: anders. Wir haben heute keinen Landausflug “gebucht” sondern wollen auf eigene Faust die Hauptstadt erkunden. Nach dem achtstündigen Ausflug gestern und dem geplanten Besuch im Loro Parque morgen nutzen wir das…
Kan/Mad: Teneriffa
Der letzte Landausflug steht uns auf Teneriffa bevor. Wir fahren wie auch auf den anderen Inseln gegen 08:00 beim Frühstücken im Hafen ein. Teneriffa muss eine tolle Insel gewesen sein – das ist meine erste Wahrnehmung – wären da nicht plattenbauten, riesige Industrieanlagen und Hotelanlagen die nahezu alles an Sicht verbauen. Okay das war “nur”…
Kan/Mad: farbenfrohes Lanzarote
Nach unserem zweiten, gemütlichen Seetag hat es uns an die erste Insel in Spanien (abseits unserer Ankunftsinsel) verschlagen. Wir lassen uns die Insel von Manfred zeigen, seines Zeichens einheimischer Reiseführer und mit tatkräftiger Unterstützung von unserem Busfahrer Valentin kurven wir durch eine Landschaft, die das Wort Abwechslung definiert haben könnte. Würde man die Aufnahmen in…
