cycling

the netherlands are a perfect place for cycling: flat and equipped with lots of cyling lanes wherever you look (sometimes even two-laned) and car drivers who pay attention - a real paradise and big contrast to germany. here (at least in this region) you always have to be afraid of being hit by a car. anyway, here are photos from our cycling tour in the hoge veluwe national park:coming!

kasteel doornenburg

our first visit on friday morning was kasteel doornenburg.

van buren

our trip to the netherlands: after a short nap in our hotel just behind the german border we headed to den bosch to see a concert (armin van buren). this was located where you can see the star.

away again

will be away again for the next couple of days - off to the netherlands. *yay*
...which means that i need to get up in 6 hours. good night ev'rybody. cu soon

very clever

it's very clever not having a charged battery for your laptop when you have a presentation the next day and need to prepare something on your computer in the evening but you cannot because you have to switch it off due to a thunderstorm (we had a lot recently and they lasted very long - with hail).

[note for me: always charge battery after watching movies with your laptop.]

monday morning

2 am: my silky-smooth bedclothes won’t let me sleep – it’s too slippy *sleepless*
3-4 am: what a thunderstorm! *sleepless*
7.20 am: someone drove against my parked car
i love monday mornings!

won!

i've just been to a noodle-party where you could eat as much noodles as you wanted (needed to be a participant of the run tomorrow) and after that, the winner of a photo competition (you should send in a great picture of your city) was announced. and it was: my boyfriend who won the first prize which means 1000€! ONE THOUSAND EURO!! *happy* *waitingforthenewspaperarticles*
wish me good luck for the run... (starts at 10am)

rape-seed

whenever you leave the city behind you these days, you see yellow.

german rape-seed fields

storm

what's going on? is kyrill out there again?

strawberry

going to the supermarket and buying cheap strawberries from spain is easy (not mentioning that i don't like the taste of them). here and here (example articles) you'll find why i don't buy them.
now i have the first strawberry from my balcony and mmh... never wanna eat something else.

rain

we've been waiting for weeks for it and now it's finally here - the rain. how fresh the air suddenly is. nature needed it so desperately. and we'll even have more during the next days. maybe till saturday. and on sunday is THE run. i'm going to run the distance tomorrow (hopefully without stitches in the side).

jogging refreshment

ice cream is my daily snack in the afternoon. and it's particularly yummy after jogging, right sarawu?

lost

watched the first two seasons of "lost" in only two days. anyone able to keep up with me?
here's a good parody on lost.

luxury

lying outside in the sun with an ice-cream and wireless lan. i'm in the lap of luxury. *sigh* life can be so wonderful.

thuringia

did you notice that it was the second time i've been to thuringia in a month? it is a nice bundesland (state) indeed and worth a visit any time. here are some more pics.

wasserburg heldrungen (12th century)

airshow

the water temperature was already above 24 °C. what a shame i had no swimsuit with me.

kyffhäuser

what else did i do at the weekend? i visited the kyffhäuser monument (1890-1896).

emperor wilhelm I (known as barbarossa)

walpurgis night

the walpurgis night in the harz mountains is the best and that's why i travelled to thale - the place with the most famous witches dancing place - to celebrate the arrival of spring (or summer??). fortunately, when i arrived in the afternoon, there was a bus to the top because it's still hot in germany (the evenings still cold).

as you can see it was full of devils and witches.

at midnight, they played the scene "walpurgisnacht" from j.w. von goethe's "faust part one" with a lasershow and fireworks.

hot

i'm melting away - it's so hot! everyday, the media tell us that we have the hottest april ever but also the driest. people think we have summer but don't realize that it's spring. we've had the fourth bbq now and today i'm going on holiday - fleeing from the city to the landscape.

for my greek turtle it's just the right weather, he enjoys it very much.

beeeeep

kfc in the usa has a new tv-ad for this product. watch this video and see if you can hear the so called mosquito tone. this tone is so high-pitched that not all people can hear it, so check it out (by the way, i can hear it). this is also why a lot of teenagers use this tone as their ring-tone as especially older people can't hear it. the whole story to this promo-ad you'll find here.

before and after

well, we had more cakes, from which we are still eating, but they were on the other side of the table

s.'s b'day

tomorrow's big s.'s birthday, which means eating and eating and presents and presents. anything else? let's wait and see...

jogging

read at sarawu's blog how my jogging workout is going. next month i'm going to take part in a 5 k city run and i'm not sporty enough yet. so we (today even with another guy) meet twice a week and exercise.


nächsten monat habe ich vor, an einem 5 km stadtlauf teilzunehmen und muss dafür noch einiges tun. deshalb treffe ich mich 2 mal die woche mit sarawu (heute waren wir sogar zu dritt). in ihrem blog könnt ihr auch noch mehr über unsere fortschritte lesen.
