  • The Queen’s Royal Garden Party 2015 in Edinburgh

    When the Queen had been staying in Germany I wasn’t there. But no, incidentally I was in Edinburgh when her annual Royal Garden Party was going on. After I had been wondering about all those nifty people in the city and mostly in the area around Holyroodhouse two nice ladies told me the Queen is in town – together with 8,000 invited guests who all made me feel like being at the horse run in the movie “My fair Lady”…

    In Barcelona, like in many other cities, there are plenty of free walking tour guides. Free? Yes! These guided tours last for usually two or three hours and they’re absolutely free! Seriously? Yes! So, what’s the catch?

  • Bright Sunshine and Gloriously Blue Sky in Atlanta

    I think there’s no better weather than bright sunshine and an intensively blue sky. The rather shallowly light blue sky in Germany is just as annoying as these grey clouds you’ll find in German skies too often. Therefore here’s a real good spirit picture as a contrast to the everlasting grey sky in Germany – like seen today.

  • The Walking Dead Filming Locations: Rick Rides the Horse into Atlanta – DVD Cover for Season 1

    Being a great fan of filming locations I visited – apart from my The Walking Dead filming location tour south of Atlanta – some locations in the center of Atlanta, Georgia. Among them was the season 1 DVD cover location of this popular TV-series. Season 1 shows us how Rick Grimes is riding to Atlanta on horseback. So where is this place, which is not only a fantastic viewpoint to the Downtown skyline but also a true insider tip?

  • Hotel Rooms with Glass Bathrooms: about the Idiocy of Hotel Managers…

    It’s been a long day… Every journey to any vacations destination – sometimes short, sometimes long – turns out to be somewhat exhausting. At least for all the packing and organisation, that needs to be done in the run-up. But then finally you arrive at your hotel, you do the check-in; you can’t wait to see your room. You open the door and all is stylish, and neat, and looks so good. Awesome! But then… The bathroom is made of glass! This is about how a nice hotel room can still turn out into a nightmare and what hotel managers really should think about concerning their visions of a vitreous guest.
