      Day 24

      Hull

      September 2, 2017 in England ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Joachim: Nach einer schönen Fahrt ( 130km) über Scarborough (Castle No21) und einem Rugby Spiel sind wir jetzt in Hull.

      Nachdem Boarding sitzen wir nun in einem der Saloons und geniessen die Aussicht und lassen die Reise Revue passieren.

      Ann: So schnell können drei Wochen vorbeigehen. Wir haben viel gesehen und erlebt ...zusammenfassend kann ich sagen, die Schotten sind sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Menschen. Ich weiss nicht wie oft wir die handgehoben haben um uns zu bedanken, weil man uns vorbei gelassen hat.
      Zum Wetter kann ich sagen, Regen gibt es nicht, der Schotte steht bei Regen draussen ohne alles und unterhält sich in Seelenruhe weiter. Temperaturen über 10 grad entsprechen dem Sommer und ab 15 grad trägt man kurze Hose und T-Shirt oder Frauen ärmellose Sommerkleider und Sandalen. Sturm gibt es nicht, nur Wind, so um 240 km/h ist dann starker Wind. Selbst wenn der Regen waagerecht daher kommt ist das nicht erwähnenswert. Die Natur ist überwältigend und nicht immer so wie man das als Urlauber gerne so hätte. Allerdings ist es auch sehr teuer und wir waren deshalb auch selten aus. Einkaufen ist spannend aber auch erschütternd, hier gibt es fast nur Fertiggerichte, Weißbrot und wabbel Toast . Eintrittspreise in die Castels sind oft überteuert, gut das wir unseren Explorer Pass hatten. Bevor ich es vergesse.....Beifahrerin zu sein ist ein Alptraum, vor allem wenn die Strassen so eng sind und das sind sie fast immer. Noch eine Anmerkung für behinderte Menschen, an allen Strassenampeln sind die Bürgersteige abgesengt und überhaupt gibt es fast überall Rampen, sauber Behindertentoiletten und Hilfen.

      Joachim: Ja, es ist ein beeindruckendes Land mir super relaxten und freundlichen Menschen, da könnten wir uns mal ein Beispiel nehmen, insbesondere auch im Straßenverkehr. Ich habe während der 3 Wochen nicht einmal jemanden hupen oder schimpfen gesehen. Die Herzlichkeit ist wirklich ansteckend.
      Landschaftlich ein Traum, und Farben, einmalig, wenn das Wetter mitspielt. Gut, da sind noch die Midges. Die sind schon sehr aufdringlich und kommen überall durch.

      Exploring Hull

      January 31, 2015 in England ⋅ ⛅ 37 °F

      A German, an American and a Frenchman walk into a pub.....

      and eat some lunch. sounds like the beginnings of a good joke but this is pretty much my daily life so far. I'll let you know when I come up with a good punchline.

      Went exploring Hull with some of my flatmates, including lunch at the 'smallest pub room in Britain'.      Read more

      Hull

      January 29, 2015 in England ⋅ ⛅ 34 °F

      I'm here! What a day. They collected me in a group from the airport and the four of us got to know each other over the next few hours and then when they handed out keys one of them was my roommate! Yeah! Together we found some food and toilet paper. Today is orientation and stuff, it was dark when we got to Hull so I'm excited to see it during the day.Read more

      Day 50

      More Rugby (and a quote from my studies)

      March 18, 2015 in England ⋅ 🌫 43 °F

      During one's life time how many people one encounters! You speak to them, you laugh a little, you share a glass of beer, you sing. But once the man is laid to rest beneath the cross, the end, he no longer exists. He is laid to rest and he is silent. He is silent. And if we hear someone respond, it is not from the bottom of the grave, we are simply dreaming. Sometimes someone comes to talk to us. Or to stroll around here and there. Or sometimes he stays seated. As if he weren't dead. Or he takes up a cart, even begins some kind of work. Just like a living man. Like a true living man, not like a dead man. Why - one can never know, but in the dream you never see a dead man in his grave, not even in the casket where he is laid during the funeral service. In our dreams the dead walk, they are seated in front of a pushcart, gesture to you with their hands. Just like the real living. Perhaps this is why the Lord gave dreams to man, so that he might see, as if they were truly living, those who no longer, but whom he would truly like to see again

      Samba in East Yorkshire?

      August 22, 2022 in England ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      No, not really---the reason for this street name may be trade links in the past with the port of Hull and Brazil. It's nice however to recall the sun-washed shores of Rio and Bahia which I visited a few years ago. I'm on a return visit to Hull almost exactly a year since my last visit, this time on my own for some quiet photography. I'm staying on the edge of the Old Town, which despite serious wartime damage retains some Victorian and Edwardian quarters. There's also a surprising concentration of small neighbourhood pubs. I wonder how many of them will survive the latest threat to their existence: first Covid, now the rocketing fuel prices. The city goes back centuries before this of course, with the magnificent Hull Minster, which has the largest floor area of any English parish church, and was started in about 1300.

      As last year, Hull is good for day excursions. While the beaches are hardly Brazil-style tropical, they have an understated English charm. A cultural initiative has planted giant puffins all along this coast. The giant seagull, overlooking the lady selling raffle tickets, is a one-off. It's at Hornsea. an hour's bus ride from Hull. And while people often complain about rural buses, they provide an inexpensive way of getting around and their timetables are reliable. The toy train features at Bridlington, a larger and noisier resort up the coast. Another bus trip from Hull leads east to Withernsea with its mock castle.

      After Bridlington I call in at Beverley Minster, which started life as a monastery and survived the Reformation. While the rain shortage this summer has caused water supply problems, it has allowed better photo opportunities than last year and the final picture brings out the best of the 14th century church of Patrington.
