Due to a booking error on my part, we had to return our rental car at the airport today and rent a second one so we could be in Palma in time for our flight tomorrow. Our first rental company doesn't open until 9 a.m., which is too late for us. Well, since we were already in Palma, we decided to check

Today we wanted to take a stroll around Porto Cristo. Our hotel is right on the promenade, and that's where we started. There isn't much else to see here. The marina is certainly beautiful and quite large. We walked to the other side of the harbor and then headed towards the lighthouse. The path there

We've never been out this early in the year before. But it's wonderful to escape the dreary weather for a while.



Our hike was hardly strenuous and initially took us along the beautiful beaches of Garrot and Amarador. Then we went through a pine forest, followed by a short scramble over rocky sections

This year, I made it to our company's annual beach volleyball tournament, which is held by craftsmen. It's only a short walk, but you shouldn't overdo it if you're thirsty. Unfortunately, I haven't dared to play for a few years now. I can still hike with my knees, but volleyball isn't really my thing

Finally back in Hamburg. Our favorite big city offered us a place to stay for a few days. In addition to its cultural offerings, Hamburg is also a special city for nature lovers.

It's grandchildren's weekend. And what do Grandma and Grandpa think of? A visit to Gera Zoo. When we arrived in Gera, we were surprised by the number of parked cars. Well, we found a parking space anyway, and then the adventure began. As it turned out, today was the Zoo and Dahlia Festival in Gera. The

We've now arrived at our friends' house in Thun. It's wonderful to know such lovely people in Switzerland. For the past two days, I've been helping my friend get a train signal bell and rebuild it in his garden. Like me, he's also a model railroader with a garden railway.



Today, however, we wanted to

With 37 degrees Celsius forecast for today, I had to come up with something as a route planner. Either go up high or do something with water. I opted for the latter, which in South Tyrol usually means irrigation canals. So I took the train to Laas again and then continued on by bus 🚌 as a rail replacement

Rain was forecast for today starting at midday, so only a short hike was planned. We'd walk to Goldrain and take the train back. We needed some exercise, as we had a very extensive and delicious meal last night at the Sonneck in Allitz. Highly recommended. It wasn't an extensive menu, but it featured

Our landlord recommended two things in the midsummer temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius. First, head to the south side of the mountains, and second, continue upwards. Today, we took advantage of the altitude and took the bus to Sulden. Sulden is located in the Ortler region, and the Stelvio Pass
