São Miguel III: Every road leads to Furnas – Furnas and the South coast

June 19, 2017 by nadel&gabel

There is a traditional saying that goes: Weather on the Azores changes within minutes. What never changes: Every road leads to Furnas. Actually we invented this saying, at least the second part 😉 , but nevertheless it’s true! There is a reason why the Azores islands are very well equipped with web cams that serve up-to-date pictures of the different spots on the islands. If the webcam of Lagoa do Fogo f.ex. is all grey (which happens very often) then there’s […]

Hole-and-corner – Meandering between Brecon Beacons and Wye Valley

August 18, 2016 by nadel&gabel

“The term ‘hole-and-corner’ derives from an old English phrase meaning a secret place or a life lived away from the mainstream: somewhere you go to contemplate, create and be inspired.” (Hole&Corner Magazine) If you’re interested in stargazing, the Brecon Beacons in Wales, since 2012 accredited as “International Dark Sky Reserve” with only little light pollution, are one of the best places on earth. However, our this year’s summer holiday seemed to be ill-starred and – starting with the end – due to […]

Me, myself and I in the Allgäu

May 27, 2016 by nadel&gabel

“For how many people would you like to book a table?” – “One. It’s just me.” An unfamiliar situation, like some more during those four days I stayed in the Allgäu. But then there were a lot of moments that didn’t feel strange at all. It were different things that led to this one-woman-short-trip. One of them was the fact that I indeed perceived this as a challenge, an exceeding of my couple comfort zone. At the same time there are so […]

Turné i södra Sverige II – Lakes, forests and the Göta Canal

September 7, 2014 by nadel&gabel

After some swedish culinary impressions here’s the next chapter of our foto travel journal: The first stop we made after we got our rental car in Stockholm (No Volvo! Big dissapointment for his part!) was at the biggest IKEA in the world. Why? – Let me go farther back… There are a few things that are good to know, when you decide to travel to Sweden, that we learned sooner or later: 1. Tourism in Sweden is mainly directed to […]

Winding paths through Wales III: Coal, books and heath covered mountains

September 16, 2013 by nadel&gabel

So, here it is: the third and final part of our journey through Wales. Although we tried to avoid sitting to much in the car on our trip, we still spend quite a time on the roads. Therefore today I’m starting with some road impressions: streets, signs, obstacles, familiar things, cause, After spending great days on the west and south coast of Wales we finally reached the capital: Cardiff. What to say about Cardiff? It’s difficult … it isn’t the […]

Winding paths through Wales II: Cliffs, dunes and marshes

September 9, 2013 by nadel&gabel

Are you ready? Here’s the next chapter in our foto travel journal: After we left the mountainous north of Wales – although living near the Alps makes the term “mountain” feel a bit exaggerated – we followed for a few days mainly the coast in its different varieties: Aberdovey with it’s long white sand beach and high dunes was one of the classic british seaside resorts we visited. Compared to buzzling Aberysthwyth it’s pleasantly relaxed. No merry-go-round, no donkey rides […]

Winding paths through Wales I: Castles, mountains, lakes and slate

September 2, 2013 by nadel&gabel

Winding paths brought us to our final travel destination this summer – and winding (often very narrow) paths led us through this beautiful country with stunning and so diverse scenery. Words can’t fully describe this, so I will mainly let the pictures speak to give you an impression and add some information about the location, our stays, places worth to visit. I tried really hard to choose the best of my photographs for you … but I had to choose […]

A boat, a bike, a tent, some swans and me – At the lake

August 8, 2013 by nadel&gabel

I few times during the last weeks I had thought about going to our nearby swimming lake … and everytime abandonded the idea again, remembering all the parents, toddlers, teenagers, dogs, bikers, students,… that are crowding this place as soon as the sun is shining. Who can blame them for this? It’s really a beautiful lake surrounded by protected landscape (all the more surprising as it is actually a quarry pond). But this morning it was cloudy, still warm, but […]
