Actually, I wanted to visit the Cologne Cathedral again on this free Wednesday, before an entrance fee of €12 has to be paid from July 1st (even for locals, which I find sad). For decades, it was a matter of course to simply pop into the cathedral and light a candle when you were in Cologne or had a

The East Frisian weather god showed himself to be halfway gracious on the last day of vacation and allowed a longer beach walk without a downpour. Various light showers were escaped by stopping for refreshments: breakfast à la carte at a surf café, a glass of health at Biomaris, and the better alternative

Walk that unexpectedly turned into a personal church day. 😇
I had passed the striking, modern, yet 95-year-old church "Stella Maris" many times without ever entering, mistakenly assuming it was only open for services. What an architectural peculiarity. Unbelievable that no one had created a highlight

🌊 Sea for breakfast: Took bus 7 to Weststrand and first made sure as a spectator from the fence that the view from the terrace of "Müllers auf Norderney" is not really better than from the bench directly below. Seized the rare opportunity of a free beach chair at the entrance to the "Giftbude" for a

Watt'n los 🌦 Norderney
Watt'n Vergnügen 🎸 Weststrandpromenade bei Kaiserwetter, Kurmusik mit Dackel(n) gegen Mittag. Nach der Oldieshow fast reif für meinen ersten Seniorenteller, dann aber Gemüse in Form von Rüblitorte. Gut, aber leider nicht abgewartet, da später verpasste Alternative. Auf direktem Weg über den Habenpatt zum Hafen. Weitere Lieblingslocation (die Liste wächst) entdeckt:…

What a pleasure 🎸 Weststrandpromenade in glorious weather, spa music with dog(s) around noon. After the oldies show, almost ready for my first senior's plate, then vegetables in the form of carrot cake. Good, but unfortunately didn't wait, as I missed an alternative later. Directly via the Habenpatt

Full-day excursion through the various groves and parks, as well as across the island cemetery.
Stop at the Meierei for a late breakfast (rhubarb crumble, seasonal buttermilk with strawberries) and for a cocktail with a lake view at De Vries, but leaving the Frisian ice cream aside for now.

After the first suspension railway towards Vohwinkel at 5:23 already reminded one of a sauna due to overcrowding, but at least a bus 784 immediately ran as a connection, I spontaneously drove all the way to Benrath (instead of changing in Hilden) and took a walk in front of work at a still relatively
