Malta, Tag 5: Hafen und Klippen bei Marsaxlokk
In dem alten Fischerdorf Marsaxlokk an der Südküste Maltas sind 70% der Fischereiflotte des Landes beheimatet. Vor allem die bunten, traditionellen „Luzzu“ Fischerboote prägen den Blick von der Hafenpromenade, wo man neben Souvenirs auch - äußerst gehaltvolle - maltesisch-nordafrikanisch-italienische Süsswaren erstehen kann. Sonntags ist hier Fischmarkt. Aber auch ohne Markt…

Malta, Tag 1: Von Valetta nach Vittoriosa
Heute sind wir von Valetta aus per „Water Taxi“ hinüber nach Vittoriosa, das mit seinen schmalen und unglaublich malerischen, verwinkelten Gässchen und zahllosen historischen Gebäuden beeindruckt. Beherrscht wird die Halbinsel vom Fort St Angelo, das auch den Grand Harbour zwischen Valetta im Norden und den „Three Cities“ im Süden dominiert.…

Today we went around Lisbon again: The Mosteiro dos Jeronimos (Hieronymite Monastery) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered one of the highlights of Manueline architecture (Portuguese variant of late Gothic) - the cloister of the monastery and the south portal are truly stunning stonemasonry

In Nazare, the world's biggest waves, up to 30m high, are surfed. Nowhere else do you see waves like this. The big wave season is in full swing - but of course the biggest monster waves only appear on days when the conditions are perfect. We knew in advance that today we would only expect "medium" waves

Sintra - famous for its fairytale mountainous landscape and its romantic palaces. We definitely recommend the wonderful little hike from the train station on romantic, cobbled paths through the steep forests up to the Moorish fortress "Castelo dos Mouros" from the 10th century. If you shy away from the

Today we left Lisbon and drove about an hour north to the medieval town of Obidos. Time seems to have stood still here and the maze of cobbled streets, whitewashed houses and flower-filled corners surrounded by the 12th century Obidos fortress and the Moorish city walls usually attract crowds of tourists

Today we were drawn to the old town and the hills of Lisbon: The star of Lisbon is not a single sight, but the colourful and picturesque cityscape itself. You can hardly get enough of all the tiled buildings - some freshly renovated, some picturesquely dilapidated - the spacious squares and narrow alleys

Today we visited, among other things, the oldest church in Lisbon, the Romanesque cathedral "Se de Lisboa". The triumphal arch "Arco da Rua Augusta" at the Parca do Comercio dates from the 19th century. We then took the tram along the banks of the Tajo to the Torre de Belem, a defensive tower in the

What a start to the trip: On the day of departure, Madame gets the flu (her third illness this winter - you have to be unlucky to be that bad!). She drives with me to the airport and spends the night there. While the rest of us board the plane to Portugal at the crack of dawn the next morning, she goes

Today the offshoot of the famous Paris cultural center for modern art, the Center Pompidou Metz, was on the program. We focused on the two current exhibitions “Lacan - when art meets psychoanalysis” and “Répétition” and of course admired the architecture of the building, which was only inaugurated in

Today we first went to the Musée de la Cour d'Or, which impresses with its extensive collection on the Gallo-Roman and medieval history of Metz. The museum also houses a collection of paintings related to the city. Since the museum has a lunch break from 12:45 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., we also interrupted our

At the turn of the year we went to beautiful Metz, where today we took a comprehensive city tour using an audio guide from the Office de Tourisme: more precisely, we combined both city tours (historic center and Quartier Impérial), which are offered here as an audio guide, into one comprehensive one

A wonderful holiday apartment in Brand with Madame and our favorite buddy Chrisse (who makes the area unsafe with a trekking bike and hiking boots) and then Madame and I hit the trails: The Bikepark Brandnertal offers stretches that operate as single trails and are largely left in their natural state

The huge grove park is practically Bamberg's local recreation area, which occupies the entire southern tip of the Regnitz island and ends in the Buger tip, where the Regnitz splits into the left and the right arm. The hand-operated lock of the Ludwig-Danube-Main-Canal, which we strolled along, was also

Over a long New Year's Eve weekend we went to Bamberg with good friends. The largely preserved historic city center, which is characterized above all by baroque architecture, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And the famous Franconian beer culture is also at home here: the city claims (and probably
