The middle age Manhattan as you could call it lies in the nice area of that most people associate Tuscany. Due to the many towers, that used to be, just like today a sign of power and wealth, the town could be compared with Manhattan. It is a nice small town with not too much…
Volterra
We headed off for an early start this morning and reached Volterra at around nine in the morning. The heat was still not that intense and in general Volterra has the advantage of being on a higher location and therefore is slightly cooler than the rest of Tuscany. Still in the afternoons it gets unbearably…
Florence
We left early for Firenze as we expected it got get unbearably hot again, but at least it was a bit cloudy today and up until two a clock the sun was not burning down as much. We parked a bit up the hill at the “Posto Auto Gelsomino Garden” and walked all the way…
Lucca
An other day that was unbearably hot we went to Lucca. Because of the high buildings you still get a decent amount of share and therefore its o.k. to go there even if it is so hot. If you want a nice and relaxing stay you better go early in the morning or maybe in…
Tip to Toscany
After a long break I‘m back again. This time from Italy.
First week
Nearly a week done with my diet, and I must say it is not as hard as I thought, but I sometimes get the urge to eat “normal“ meals again as the diet is only based on proteins, vegetables and low carb fruits. It is a bit like looking forward to a cool summer vacation…

Salt mine and Koenigssee 31.07.2021
As the weather was not forecasted too well, we decided to visit the salt mine of Bad Reichenhall. The first mistake we made was, that the mine that you can visit is not in Bad Reichenhall, but in Berchtesgarden. You have to book time slots to visit the mine and we were punctual in Bad…
Beach bath Uebersee 30.07.2021
After a long and tiring journey from Bad Honnef to Uebersee in Bavaria the only thing left for us to do was to do our food shopping and have a good night sleep. The motorway from from Wuerzburg all the way to Munich is a disaster at the moment. There are so many construction sites…
A tip to Tübingen
The weather is nice and people flood the streets to enjoy life. After nearly two years of Covid-19 it was the first day where the world felt normal again. At least for a while.We want back to my home village near Tübingen to visit my parents again. Even though the weather was not expected to…
