Non-exhaustive list of fine dining (and drinking) in Hamburg
Years of Media Management experience have brought me an extensive knowledge of some of the best options to lunch, dine and go out for drinks in Hamburg. The following are stylish, sometimes a bit more pricy, locations where I enjoyed being taken by good folks. // 20up – fantastic seats by the window, overlooking…

Under the Red Sea – Diving and snorkeling on the shore of Sharm el Sheikh
from Sharm el Sheikh Marina to somewhere on the Red Sea Staying at the Marriott hotel, as always, wasn’t that pleasant, unlike always. What providence that at least the diving school with their warm, friendly staff (especially Mohamed and Yesir, hope I spell the names right) made our diving and snorkeling trips a fantastic time.…

A snapshot of Cairo in a day – the ultimate sightseeing guide
writing on MS20 from CAI to SSH As we’re flying back, leaning against the more comfortable Egypt Air backrest (compared to Nile Air in the morning), I have the chance to recall the day. In a nutshell: It all went very well and we felt safe, despite the recent terrorist attacks. I consider it luck…

Breakfast in an igloo by the Thames
BA972 from LHR to HAM We decided to spend the Saturday in London. Since it is fairly irrelevant from where we work on Fridays plus we can always visit our offices around the globe, we had the chance to stay for the weekend. I did a little research for a nice breakfast place in London…

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…

Lazy days by the sea
Thanks to two bank holidays in Germany we got to enjoy a little break from everyday life. I picked a retreat by the Baltic sea, which is a 1.5-hour-drive from Hamburg. Now, you might say, what is there to see and do, it’s not summer and certainly no bathing weather. The truth is, not really…

Rain in Windy City
UA929 von LHR nach ORD, heute: Stadterkundung Chicago Lieblingsstück des Tages: Der hellblaue Regenschirm von Walgreen’s. Der Notkauf war die nützlichste Investition in Chicago und bei weitem nicht die teuerste. Mit der obligatorischen Deep Dish Pizza plus Getränken und Trinkgeld habe ich gestern ganze 34 Dollar bei Giordano’s gelassen. Naja, sei’s drum. Die Übernachtung im…

Wiesn in Munich – beer capital of the world
LH2066 from MUC to HAM Oktoberfest had me for the second year in a row last Saturday. You might already know I’m no beer drinker at all and drinking beer is basically what you do at Oktoberfest. You pick a tent (marquee) (“Festzelt”) and start ordering your first Maß (a liter of beer), then another,…

Start the weekend right: B&B (breakfast & beer) in Düsseldorf
EW7060 from HAM to DUS Being in the area for leisure, for a change, means having delicious breakfast to start the day right. With a super healthy and oh-so delicious Açai bowl at a corner deli called Birdie & Co. in Düsseldorf Pempelfort I feel fit to enjoy the weekend to its fullest. And guess…

Day 7+2 – Las Vegas
– heute lauf-faul – Nach den vielen Meilen hatten wir uns eine Auszeit verdient. Das hieß ausschlafen (bis 9 Uhr), um dann zu frühstücken und endlich mal wieder Sport zu machen (länger als eine Woche ohne Sport!). Nach diesem erfolgreichen Start in den Tag ging es dann endlich weiter zum Highlight des Tages – Shopping…
