So, nun aber los

I went for a run again this morning at Goas beach. But the route should only be of marginal interest here, exceptionally. I'm using it as a vehicle for the story of why we are here in the first place: namely for the wedding of Anushka and Bhavish



I met Bhavish in 2022 at a congress in Madrid: komoot.com/de-de/tour/931881929

Namaste! After Hamburg, now Goa. But don't worry, we're not going to an ashram, it's just a small private trip, albeit with a professional context. But more on that in one of the next tours.



In any case, after a short overnight stay in the airport hotel in Mumbai, we arrived in Goa yesterday in the early

Work is taking me back to Hamburg, including an overnight stay. And what timing. A cool but clear morning was forecast, promising wonderful light. I took advantage of this for a run to the Freihafenbrücke. Because from a tour by @Kathrin I learned that it is unfortunately closed due to the risk of collapse

It doesn't happen all that often, but I had a business appointment in Bonn. A good opportunity to use the business expenses to also visit our eldest daughter, who will soon be starting her fourth semester studying in Bonn.



So I had planned plenty of time the day before and was scheduled to arrive in Bonn

It's a good thing I arrived the day before for logistical reasons. And I don't need public transport for running. Instead, I visited

Yesterday, investigators from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) searched the headquarters of Deutsche Bank on suspicion of money laundering. It was fortunate that I happened to be in Frankfurt am Main, so I could stop by during my morning run to see if there were any banknotes hanging on the clothesline

This year we had some truly wintry days again, during which my home region in northern Bremen presented itself as a winter wonderland (WWL). Especially this one Sunday. After a lot of snowfall for our latitudes the day before, it was bitterly cold at -12 degrees Celsius, with a transition from fog to

A meeting in Berlin the day before ran quite late. So I decided not to drive back to Bremen that evening and then continue on to my next meeting in Wuppertal early the next morning. Instead, I went straight from Berlin to Wuppertal and stayed overnight. I arrived there late that evening, but then had

Another team event leading up to the year's final stretch, this time in Hamburg. First, I attended a conference at a university, followed by dinner at the restaurant atop the bunker in St. Pauli. I hadn't had the chance to visit it before. The view from up there is truly impressive. The food was alright
