"It was better to drive bad than well!" Fun - the ride in the rustic chair lift I really liked. Reminded me of my Alpine holidays as a child.

Today, Bettina and I had a truly indulgent day. First, we had a delicious breakfast at Café Ludwig I. We had a lot to talk about, after all, we hadn't seen each other in a while. Afterwards, we parked below Villa Ludwigshöhe. It has now emerged from its packaging and is now showing off its new splendor 👍😊. Of course, …

After a delicious, relaxed breakfast at Café Ludwig in Rhodt, Simone and I started our tour at the parking lot below Villa Ludwigshöhe. We were thrilled to finally be able to admire the building without scaffolding again - very nice 🥰

December 10, 2022,Ungeplant und doch so schä😍🚶‍♀️🐆☁️

After the stressful night shift, it should only be a small round today. Actually, I had planned the spring hiking trail near Edenkoben. On the way there, the sun was shining so beautifully that I stopped at the next parking lot and didn't drive any further into the dark valley😝. I had no signal and so we just walked in …
