      Bike/Van Abenteuer & Spätzle mit Soß

      June 29, 2022 in England ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      Diesen Morgen haben wir es etwas ruhiger angehen lassen.
      Da wir aber in der Nähe eines sehr bekannten Bikepark standen, konnte Joel sich die Gelegenheit nich entgehen lassen. Leider war der Bikepark wegen Umbau geschlossen …. nur ein kleiner Teil war geöffnet. Den ist Joel dann gefühlte 100 mal gefahren 😂
      Am Nachmittag sind wir dann weiter zum nächsten Spot für die Nacht gefahren. Auf dem Navi standen 16 Minuten.
      Tja, wenn man sich auf Google Maps verlässt kann es schon mal spannend werden. Denn der Weg den wir langgefahren sind war alles andere als normal. Es war eine komplette Offroad-Strecke mit heftigen Schräglagen. Unsere Nerven lagen blank und das Adrenalin war am Anschlag. Nach einer Dreiviertelstunde waren wir dann wieder auf einer festen Straße. Eig war alles halb so wild und hat definitiv im Nachhinein auch Spaß gemacht.

      Auf dem Weg sind wir dann noch an riesigen Rotwildherden vorbei gefahren. So viele Rehe in freier Wildbahn haben wir noch nie gesehen. Sehr spektakulär.

      Am Schlafplatz angekommen haben wir erst mal eine Runde Spätzle mit Soß gemacht.      Read more

      13-8 Marston Morretaine

      August 13, 2019 in England ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Dat liep nog net goed af.
      Rustig dagje met een redelijk vlakke route. Leuk, niet spectaculair. Een heel stuk fietspad door een mega park. Mooi. De camping in Milton Keynes is geen camping en caravaning meer, berekent me weer een vermogen en ik wilde daar eigenlijk toch al niet zijn. Het is pas 2 uur, ik ben nog niet moe, en ik heb campings genoteerd met reviews, dus dat moet goed gaan. Alleen dat gaat het niet. White cottage campsite heeft nooit bestaan. Heb ik toch iets niet goed gedaan. Inmiddels is het 5 uur en heb ik 85 km gefietst en de dichtstbijzijnde is 15 km. Dat zie ik niet meer zitten, vooral omdat ik mij niet meer vertrouw. Ik besluit te naar Marston Morretaine te gaan, lijkt wat toeristisch, daar zal toch wel een hotelletje of B&B zijn. Nee dus. Wel een forest center, met gras, toiletten buiten. Maar ik mag er niet staan, de toiletten gaan op slot. Wat een andere mentaliteit dan Nieuw Zeeland. Ik geloof dat dat me het meest tegen valt en staat van Engeland, dat regel neuken.
      Terug in het dorp zie ik 2 mensen met een hond. Weten zij iemand met een grote tuin? Niet direct, maar ze hebben wel een logeerbed. Uhhh.. GRAAG! Giles en Esmé blijken ook geen Engelsen te zijn, maar geïmmigreerde Zuid Afrikaners. Zij is fysio (!), hij heeft net een ingenieuze fietskar ontworpen en is bezig met crowdfunding voorbereiden. En zo breng ik de avond door met barbecue met heel veel heerlijke salade, wijn en tof kletsen. Geroosterde marshmallows toe. Wat een toffe lui.      Read more

      Day 80

      Last Day in London

      June 5, 2023 in England ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      We had a very chilled morning today and did lots of planning/booking for the next part of the trip.

      We had lunch at home then caught the tube to Watford and explored the town/went to the shopping centre. We then caught the bus to Warner Bros Studio to see the Making of Harry Potter Tour! From the moment we got on the bus (which was magical themed of course!) everything was about Harry Potter.

      We arrived at the studio and were able to get in slightly early before our tour time, which was fantastic as there was so much to explore! We were in a couple of cinema rooms before being welcomed into the Great Hall to begin our tour!

      We were then able to go at our own pace, seeing all the sets, props, clothing, special effects and so much more that made the Harry Potter franchise so successful! Around the halfway point, we were even able to try a Butterbeer and butterbeer flavoured ice cream!

      We finished up in last room which contained the scale model of Hogwarts which was incredible. We then passed through a ‘wand shop’ to the exit where there were over 4000 individual wands - one for each member of crew who worked on the Harry Potter movies.
      We had such a fun and exciting afternoon exploring the studio, and it really made us appreciate the level of detail that had gone into making the movies - things like having to paint all the magical portraits, animal trainers and all the sketching/cardboard models of sets/props!

      We then caught the bus back to Harefield and arrived back around 10pm.      Read more

      Harry Potter Studio ( Part 1)

      May 1, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Nik - Ever since we began planning this trip, today's activity...visiting the Harry Potter Studio...was something I was very much looking forward too.

      The tour did not disappoint. At the moment the doors to the Great Hall were revealed, I started to tear up. Seeing the long tables set for a feast, the floating candles...my breath caught in my throat.

      I've read the books and watched the movies many times, and each time I'm drawn into that world of magic. This time...it wasn't imagination. This time I was there and it took my breath away.

      Highlights of the tour were the Forbidden Forest, the two Gringots displays (one before, one after it was ruined by the excaping dragon), Diagon Alley and the big Hogwarts Castle at the end.

      We had read that the tour could be done in 4 hours, but I think that is a serious underestimate. There is so much to see, so many little videos explaining the production and creative processes. It would be impossible to do it all and REALLY take it all in during a full day, let a lone 4 hours. (Honestly, if your a serious Harry fan.... you'd want two days.). As it was we had 5 hours. We missed one and a half sections entirely and had to rush through the second half in order to get back to our bus in time.

      But my gosh was it amazing.

      I took so many photos I'm we're going to have to do two studio posts to get all the images in. (We can only put 10 photos a post.)      Read more

      HP studios 3/16 : About dresses

      August 13, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      Entering the exposition itself, we first have been interested by the outfits, and especially the actresses' dresses.
      Pénélope had the chance to get two thorough explanations about the making of two Luna Lovegood's dresses. Attached the short video.
      Fascinating.      Read more

      HP studios 16/16 : Pictures and models

      August 13, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      At the end we could see very interesting pictures and models used for designing the film, including a huge model of Hogwarts, an impressive one to say the least.
      No pictures of the subsequent shops, but the visit ended here, with a lot of images in our minds and on our phones (nearly 400 pics and vids in total!!).
      Now back to reality? Or maybe have a last candy from Honeydukes?      Read more

      HP studios 12/16 : Mandrake's cry

      August 13, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Madam Pomfrey's glasshouse seems to be a place of quietness: no beast here. But beware! Mandrake's can be way more dangerous and hurting.
      Don't forget your headphones, or the mandrake's cry will hurt you.Read more

      Harry Potter ⚡️1

      February 13 in England ⋅ 🌧 8 °C

      Heute ging es direkt nach dem Frühstück mit meinem Lieblingsevent weiter: die Warner Bros Harry Potter Studios. Dafür mussten wir zwar 1.5h mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln fahren, aber das war es definitiv wert. Die letzte Strecke legten wir mit dem Shuttle Bus zurück, wo sie über Bildschirme eine Ansprache von Tom Felton und Harry Potter Soundtracks laufen liessen. Wir verbrachten insgesamt ungefähr 6h in den Studios und konnten mit den Audio Guides richtig coole Hintergrundinfos bekommen :)Read more
