Quad biking tour in Sharm-el-Sheikh
This year I had a very special advent calendar: each day Julia gave me one small hint to my gift each day. At Christmas Eve a whole story developed and I found out that we’d be going on a quad biking tour on the Sinai peninsula! Short, russian introduction and off we go on the…

How to arrive in Sharm el Sheikh – tipps to get from airport to hotel
writing on ST7198 from HAM to SSH We have arrived in Sharm el Sheikh, having a wonderfully calm flight with Germania – although not being able to reserve seats at all and no possibility to check in online felt like a pain in the a** when you’re so used to it. When bargaining isn’t for you,…

Live music in the pedestrian mall in Hamburg
Today we spend the day window shopping in Hamburg city at Spitalerstraße/ Mönckebergstraße. From time to time you get lucky and have the chance to see and listen to great musicians who play a concert for free in the pedestrian area. One of these true artists is Will Robert who I, like a large crowd…
