Heute geht's los :-)
June 4, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Heute beginnt der erste Teil unserer Deutschlandtour. Lilli hat schon die erste Nacht im Wohnmobil verbracht und bis auf den Kühlschrank, der wegen der Schräglage des Wohnmobil nicht funktioniert hat, haben die Vorbereitungen gut geklappt.

Wir werden um 08:00 starten und unser erster Stop ist Würzburg wo wir Manuela treffen und die Stadt besichtigen wollen.Read more

1 1 1
This morning we drove into Stuttgart and went to Birkenkopf. As we walked through the park
( pic 1), we finally got to the top of the hill. This is where they put all the ruins from Stuttgart after it was bombed in WWII. Fifty percent of the city was destroyed. 165 million cubic feet of destroyed buildings were moved to this area and it added 130 ft of height to the hill (Pics2-5). The view of Stuttgart from above was great!(pic 6,7).
Saw a wonderful church in Stuttgart, Johanneskirche(pics 8-10). It was closed so we could only enjoy it from outside.
Enjoyed lunch at a beer garden near the church. I always drink a Radler, a mixture of beer and sprite! It’s very refreshing.
Then we went to the Porsche Museum(pic 11). I think the guys really took it in.
The second to last my bit of humor for the day from the bathroom at the beer garden!
And the last pic is of the 3 of us at The top of Birkenkopf.

Highlight of the day: the weather here has been perfect, sunny but cool temps!Read more

OMG, what can I say? This museum alone would make it worth paying premium for the blog….. 10 photos is not enough!
From the first Daimler and Benz vehicles to the merger, both world wars and recognition of their part. To the developments and of coarse racing heritage! Thank you Rashelle, I only had time today for one and these pics are for you 🥰Read more
Traveler What an experience, the care taken to preserve the history is amazing. Thank you for choosing the Mercedes museum & not Porsche.

Museums and sights 🥺 well that didn’t go to plan! Arrived in the hotel room and thought I’d jump on the WiFi and try booking tickets for both the Porsche and Mercedes museums - guess what? The only day of the week they don’t open is Monday. Walked a bit, but not much to take pictures of. Will try Porsche in the morning on my way to Venlo. On another point though, today mark 22 years since 9/11 so a quiet reflection 🥺Read more

Zurück an der Geburtsstätte von Rocky, bei der Firma Woelcke in Heimsheim. Hier erhält er eine neue Schublade, die hinteren Arbeitsscheinwerfer werden ausgetauscht, da sie schon wieder undicht waren und die zweijährige Dichtigkeitskontrolle wird durchgeführt. Alles in bester Ordnung. Um 10 Uhr sind wir schon wieder fahrbereit und entschliessen uns daher spontan, noch bei Marias Schwester in Jaderberg vorbeizufahren. Liegt ja fast auf dem Weg in Richtung Dänemark.

Also brettern wir 600km durch Deutschland bis in den hohen Norden. Statt den ursprünglich geplanten siebeneinhalb, benötigen wir ganze elf Stunden, denn ganz Deutschland scheint aus einer einzigen Autobahn-Baustelle zu bestehen. Scheinbar ist es hier genauso wie in der Politik - Fachkräftemangel 🙈Read more

Tubinga
August 12, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Arrivati a Tubinga passeggiamo per il centro storico con le caratteristiche case a graticcio e tantissimi fiori. Andiamo a vedere la chiesa gotica Stiftskirche Sankt Georg, lo Schloss Hohentubigengen, la torre di Holderlin e la spettacolare Marktplatz. Sono già le 19:00, quindi non ci è possibile visitare nulla. Prima di lasciare Tubinga per tornare a Karlsruhe prendiamo un gelato, uno dei più buoni della mia vita. :PRead more

It was a father / son combo (I Was His First and Just Jesse?) for this glorious trail down near Herrenberg. It was short, but made up for it in dangerous high speed highway crossings, as the hares put our lives at risk. There were about 22 on trail, and we had two visitors . . . one from Florida, via Israel, CLIT. The other dude was from Newcastle, UK region, and he was Slippery When Wet. Speaking of Wet, it was Too Wet that scampered in in front of everyone to be the FRB. One young harriette managed to drop a 50 euro note on trail . . . WTF were you doing carrying that much money on trail? Were you worried you may need to call a cab to get back? 😊 All in good fun though.

We finished quickly, and made our way across the street for last call of flammkuchen and bier, and sat around enjoying each other’s company. A quick circle was called by GM Photocopulator, that highlighted all the flaws for the hares, the hounds, and anything else that needed to be recognized. Once we all had our fill, many of the pack wandered over to the water tower, to climb up and watch the sunset. Isn’t she lovely . . . badobadadobadooo. Great time with great friends, Puking Cougar would be proud.Read more

Dienstag Schnitzeljagd Trupp H3 #665

Port and HKF took us on a sprint in the forest out near Panzer Kaserne. Starting from the Goldberg train station, trail took us basically straight up to a check back 8 (and photo stop), before heading back down and into the woods. We snaked our way over towards Panzer, only to head down the road to Waldheim Bildungsstätte. Turning left again, it was back into the woods for some more twists and turns on the way back to the station. An excellent 9km trail for a pack of 18 (and two little poochies), on a hot and sweaty evening.

At the on after, we were able to witness the rare occurrence of GM changeover for the DST H3. It had only happened once before back in 2012, when your (not always so humble) hash scribe passed over the reins to Dutchy, who has skillfully coordinated our weekly trails for the past 10 years. Now recently beginning our 14th year of hashing, the DST H3 has been placed in the capable hands of BAD SEX. As a little background . . . when I started the DST H3 back in 2009, my only focus was on the trail, as it remains today. Always a free hash, no need for a beer meister or hash cash. The GM’s responsibilities are mostly as a scribe to keep the roster, send out the weekly info, occasional haberdasher, and most of all . . . coordinator of hares. At the DST H3, the hares are the most important part, because without a trail, there is no hash. So best wishes to BAD SEX who may lead this hash for the next 10 more years.

Anyway, back to the trail . . . the fivers were . . . Five Star Blow Job with 40, Bend Over Barbi with 55, Boiled Blue Balls with 105, Hello Kitty F*cker with 145, Hazukashii with 150, Loan Moaner with 155 . . . but was any of that good enough? Hell No!! It was Dutchy’s 600th time to strap on his running shoes and join in with the DST H3 (and by god, he has hared 100 of those trails too, incredible) . . . Great Job Dutchy, thank you for your many years of friendship, and keeping this hash club alive for the past 10 years. You are amazing my friend.Read more
