Munich is Beautiful!
Mia san Mia and other nonsense &8230; Somehow I never warmed up to Munich. Actually, I even disliked Munich. As an adopted North German, the exuberant enthusiasm for Munich that hit me in Munich was rather suspect. Mostly from transplants. The &8222;real locals&8220; are probably already in the minority by now, at least&8230;
Roadtrip 2023 Day 6 - Bouche Rit Ars-en-Ré
Do you know Bouche Rit in Ars-en-Ré? The village of Ars-en-Ré sits on the small island of Île de Ré in the Atlantic. It's just a few hundred metres off the coastline and connected to the mainland by a bridge. This picturesque little town at the northern tip of the island surprised us at Restaurant Bouche Rit with a really excellent meal.
Kadoura - La Rochelle
A stop in La Rochelle reveals excellent ceviche and tuna tataki at Restaurant Kadoura, before a somewhat disappointing detour to Bordeaux.
ChatGPT as a Tour Guide?
So artificial intelligence is putting me out of a job. And while on holiday, no less. Unbelievable how ChatGPT takes over the role of tour guide...
Hamburg Harbor Tour
Completely by chance we stumbled into the Hamburg Port Anniversary and set off on a harbor tour in pouring rain...
Hamburg 2023

On the road again. Today we want to experience two cities in one day, San Sebastián is the destination and on the way there's lunch in Pamplona ...
Road Trip Day 1 - Barcelona to Zaragoza
And once again a first day for a road trip. Today we're heading from Barcelona to Zaragoza. And from Miracoli to fried eggs.
Day 5 - Welcome to Barcelona
The last day has more to offer than I expected. From high-end dining in the provinces to low-end eating in the metropolis...
Day 4 - Tiramisu in France?
From Italy's smallest gas station to Arles — where we discovered a charming boutique hotel, phenomenal Charolais beef, and the bold claim of Tiramisu on French plates.
Day 3 - What Else Happened in Genoa
Genoa feels like it consists of narrow, tall alleyways. They seem to run straight. But since you somehow often end up back at the starting point, they probably don't.
Day 3 - In Search of... the Croissant?
In France there is only the croissant. It is a croissant, period. There is also no chocolate croissant in France — that’s a "pain au chocolat". And no, it really isn’t a croissant! It looks different and tastes different too.
Day 2 - Off to Florence!
The funny thing is that in Italy, card readers for buying coffee tend to be conveniently broken. While they work just fine for fuel. Go figure...
Day 1 - Trento
When we were in South Tyrol, we started thinking about our destination for the day. We drove around Bolzano for a bit but somehow didn't get a good feeling, so I looked up Trento.
