    Saber Vivir en Barcelona

    23 lutego 2024, Hiszpania ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Time seems to run - only 30 days to go till my adventure starts.
    Yet, I am not spending my time planning and preparing at home but went in a business trip to wonderful Barcelona. Meetings, Mobile World Congress and dinner invites kept me busy until 29th February and now it’s time to relax.
    Today: a beautiful sunny day in Barcelona, I spent strolling through this amazing city, slept in the beach und had great Spanish food - äh, not Spanish food ;) and Great Ramen!
    So looking forward to trying the real thing in Japan very soon!     Czytaj więcej

    Snow-Fun in Sölden

    9–15 mar 2024, Austria ⋅ ☁️ -4 °C

    What would life be without some get away now and then… I know, I’ll have a lot of time for get-away very very soon. Still, the annual skiing trip couldn’t be skipped. And what should I say: it was a blast!
    Sauna at Aqua dome (definitely not the nicest place I’ve ever been but quite relaxing after all)
    Delicious summit dinner at Austria’s highest gourmet restaurant IceQ - amazing
    Käsespätzle, Kaspressknödelsuppe, Spinatknödel, Germknödel, Apfelstrudel, Kaiserschmarrn… Hütten-Food all the time!
    And quite some km’s on the slopes ♥️ loving it! And the best crowd to have a great time :)     Czytaj więcej

    From Chaos to Time off

    29 mar–1 kwi 2024, Niemcy ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    What a week, it seemed like an unsolvable challenge to pack for a trip like this! So what do you pack when you travel for four months, to four countries, in four seasons? Not an easy task and I sure have forgotten stuff but I think it’s not going to be a big issue!
    So to start my sabbatical the right way before it really starts, and I head off for far away destinations, I’ll be visiting Hamburg, the Harry Potter Theatre, the Hamburg dome and all the other great places there to celebrate with the girls into this exciting phase that’s now ahead.
    I’ll keep you posted     Czytaj więcej

    My first day Tokyo Baby

    3–6 kwi 2024, Japonia ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

    Tokyo, finally - after a rough first night, we headed off to discover this beautiful city. Starting at the amazing shibuja crossing with the seemingly efficient pedestrian and traffic flow (by the way it doesn’t look half as impressive as on the instagram posts), walked through the little park close by to get a good glimpse of Neiji Shrine, had amazing food, admired the 3D cat board and so much more … wow it’s just an amazing city Czytaj więcej

    Finally the day is there - but it still doesn’t feel like I am leaving my Bonn home for four months now :)

    And this cutie is joining me …
    Off it goes to Frankfurt. - obviously, as normal in Germany, it starts with a delayed train 😂
    And call me a Lucky Cookie: all flight is full but the place next to me is free on my long-haul flight to Seoul! With self-mixed bibimbap on the plane.
    And After a two Hour layover on this obviously Asian Airport with its autonomous vehicles and traditional parades, off for the last leg of my trip to Japan ♥️

    6 kwietnia 2024, Japonia ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Today it’s my first ride in the Shinkansen - I’m taking the Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen that brings me to Kyoto, which would be a 6+ hours drive - in just 2:12hrs - right on time! And apparently I’ve booked a seat with Fuji view. Unfortunately it was hidden behind clouds. Maybe I get a chance in the way back.
    And I started off sight seeing right away. A little temple for money washing, Nijo castle with its amazing golden wall posters, cherry blossoms 🌸 everywhere - it’s at full blossom here in Kyoto.
    Gion - without seeing a geisha by millions of tourists - for some food, and cherry blossom weeping festival in Maruyama Koe
    There is so much to see here, I really don’t know where to start. And time’s running 🙈     Czytaj więcej

    About the capsule hotel…

    8 kwietnia 2024, Japonia ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

    … not just bunk beds…
    Just for you to get an idea of how to stay in Kyoto ;)
    2 square meters of bed to sleep in, free amenities, free drinks in the evening, lockers in one floor, bathrooms on another floor (with a great onsen - thermal pools but cannot take photos of these) and capsules on the third floor :)
    But it is actually cozier and quieter than one might think ;)     Czytaj więcej

    9 kwietnia 2024, Japonia ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

    Starting my last day in Kyoto with beautiful Fushimi Inari. Set, it’s as crowded as it can get. But with an unplanned hike up the mountain behind, I get some space :) and a little dragon fortune.
    Then wonderfully quiet Tofuku-Ji, and lunch at lively Nishiki Market.
    Wonderful Sakura at Keage rail tracks and … off to the rabbit temple ♥️
    Closing the day with philosophers path, a beautiful and not too crowded (at least when I was there) walk along a little creek with heaps of cherry trees and cute little shops. - and a delicious dinner at Ashioto - just around the corner of the hotel, and a high recommendation!

    Starting with some culture and tradition at Osaka Castle! Impressive from the outside, rather dull museum from the inside 🙈

    Osaka … starting early

    11 kwietnia 2024, Japonia ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Today I got up really early to soo wonderful Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine without too many tourists. And my efforts were rewarded. Just a few locals and not other tourists at all 😍 and wonderful Sumiyoshi park with its cherry blossoms, Japanese style garden and huge koi carps in the pond.
    Going in to Shitennoji Buddhist temple with a local overground train - what an experience. And the conductor looked just like a Japanese version of “Lukas der Lokomotivführer”.
    Then off to crazy colorful and bustling Shinsekai new world for a stroll and up Tsutenkaku observation deck.     Czytaj więcej

    … Atomic Bomb Memorial

    12 kwietnia 2024, Japonia ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    After a little Indian lunch, I head to the atomic bomb dome, a former commerce building skeleton after the 1945 atomic bombing. Very impressive. And proceeding to the peace memorial park, with peace memorial monuments, memorial hall, and memorial museum - for some tragic historical backgrounds.
    There is life all over the city where the atomic bomb little brother destroyed every glimpse of life on Aug. 6th 1945.     Czytaj więcej

    Day trip to Miyajima

    13 kwietnia 2024, Japonia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Today I headed off early to Miyajima to skip the masses. First train then little ferry and here I am, with just a handful of other early tourists… or maybe ten hands ;) the island also has some 🦌♥️
    And first directly to Itsukushima Shrine to get a good view. Then strolling through the island towards Daishoin Buddhist temple and Henjo Cave.
    A little stroll across this part of the city, a lunch off the tourist paths and then an hour of doing nothing at the sea before heading back to Hiroshima.     Czytaj więcej

    Leaving Hiroshima

    14 kwietnia 2024, Japonia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    What a wonderful city! I am not really sure about what it is, but I really fell to like Hiroshima. The people, the peace park, Miyajima and so on. A great place.
    Yet I still have to leave. But before I enter the Shikansen back to Tokyo, I do a short walk off the beaten tourist tracks to Hiroshima Toshogu Shrine, a big Shrine complex with only locals there, at least the time I was there. And then up to Peace Pagoda, a Buddhist Pagoda set up to always warn against entering war again - with its beautiful view over Hiroshima city, to the sea and the islands. It was wonderfully peaceful in the morning. And just before I had to go back to catch the Shinkansen for Tokyo I visited Tsutuhane shrine. Czytaj więcej

    Today I’m early up and out of the hotel. I want to get an early go to Tsukiji Outer market (fish market) and do some shopping and maybe grab a little snack. But before: walking by wonderful Buddhist temple Tsukiji Honganji.
    Just to be prepared for ancient, historical Yanaka district. Starting with Tenoji temple and the big cemetery. And what do you think - there’s still Sakura, but they are already weeping with white flower leaves being everywhere. The whole area of Yanaka is full of temples and graveyards - too many to name them all.
    Next I proceed to Ueno Park - are there still Sakura there? And yesss there are - already weeping a lot and fading but there are ♥️
    Before I head to Nezu Shrine to check out the Bunkyo Azalea festival
    And that was just my morning - as exciting as it can get ♥️     Czytaj więcej

    About my last evening in Tokyo

    15 kwietnia 2024, Japonia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Not many words needed I think. Japan was great and enjoyed my last evening to the fullest - really delicious sushi made by a great chef at Uogashi Nihon-Ichi Shibuya Dogenzaka. SOOOO Yummi!
    And afterwards returning to the cat board once more, and coming by this guy who was playing the flute (rather unharmonious) at this noisy junction by the catboard 😍 Czytaj więcej
