Nach einer geruhsamen Nacht in der congenialen 5-Sterne deluxe Suite "Zum Silbergründle" inklusive Saunierung und Nintendo-Whisky-Poker-Chips-Käsespätzle Genuss, konnte es ausgeruht und gestärkt in den nächsten Wandertag gehen. (more…)

Der 1. Akt: Die Planung Vier Männer, ein Ziel! Letztes Jahr bei einem Treffen hatten Steffen und Dominique die Idee, ein Wanderwochenende zu machen. Relativ schnell wurde der Schwarzwald ins Auge gefasst - Zweieinhalb Tage am Mummelsee in der Luxus Suite Silbergründle. Eigentlich wollten wir einfach nur ein Vierer Zimmer haben, aber das war schon nicht mehr verfügbar - So wurden es zwei geräumige Zweierzimmer. Ein schönes Hotel, auch wenn der Spa Bereich gerne noch ein Schwimmbad/Whirlpool hätte haben dürfen. Das Berghotel Mummelsee, jetzt schon legendär Die Routen hatte

I have to admit, that this wasn't my first time I've been to London. And because of that, I did not visit most of the typical tourist stuff again. Okay, I did walk by some of the hotspots again, like the Knights Bridge, Westminster, Castle, Buckingham Palace or Soho district- but I did only that: walk by, look at the beautiful and old buildings, took some pictures and went on. So I don't have more in detail tips for you here, but hopefully some of my pictures can give you a good overview (if you have never been to London but want some impressions) In this blog

Flying to London from other european countries is rather cheap. There are several airports in London and so many airline options. The one I flew to (and not for the first time either) is London Stansted Airport. It is located a one hour drive north of London which may sound rather far, but there are good options to get a transfer to the city center. I booked my trip only one week before takeoff from Frankfurt International Airport via Ryanair for a total of 71 Euro. For both ways, that is. If you book much earlier you can get there for like 20 Euro at this time of the year. On my way

On Sunday afternoon I went right into the heart of London: Soho. At Underground Station Oxford Street you can jump right into the middle of the action. And boy, I didn't expect so many people here on a cold, cloudy sunday in January. The streets were packed with people. Shopping, souveniers, dinner and nightlife all concentrated in one district. I wouldn't want to live here close by - far too much trouble for my liking.  But it was just what I wanted to experience for one day. I went down Oxford street looking for a restaurant and some shopping places to get a post card for Maike -

The Docklands, located in the eastern part of London, are probably not the first place a tourist would go, if they are visiting London. I bet there are a decent amount of people who visited London several times already and were never there. That means unless your airport is the London City Airport which is located right in the dockland district or if you visiting ExCeL. This really huge exhibition centre is also located there. End of January an american friend and myself went for a four day trip to London.  Since we had an event coming up at ExCeL we choose a Hotel close by for the whole
