Lovely Baden-Württemberg...

Hi guys!

It's been a long time already!
Well, last weekend we drove up to Weinstadt, close to Stuttgart, to go to a car meeting.
The car meeting itself was really fun, but what we did afterwards was so nice! We did some house hunting in Baden-Wurttemberg, so we decided to ga of the highway and take the little roads.
We passed Reutlingen first. Man, that is one lovely town!! From there on we went to Sigmaringen. The streets were sometimes really narrow, but the nature is undescribably beautiful! When the evening kicked in there were so many birds of pray sitting in the meadows.... Beautiful, really beautiful. From Sigmaringen we went to Messstetten. Beautiful town and the nature there is also sooo beautiful. I really loved it!
Unfortunately then the weekend was alsready in half and we needed to drive back home.
Driving home in the rain is not much fun, but fortunately some good old rock n roll from stars like Elvis Presley, Fats Domino and Jerry Lee Lewis made the ride a little more bearable. :)

Trip to Berlin

Hi guys!
Last weekend my mum, brother and I went to Berlin. We saw a lot of different things so I decided to divide this blog post in chapters, because there's a lot to tell! :)

Chapter 1: The Baseballs at Zitadelle, Spandau

Happy coincidence: we wanted to go to the US Car Classics in Diedersdorf and we found out The Baseballs, my mum's and my all-time favorite band, would be playing in Berlin-Spandau. Of course we immediately booked our tickets!
It was the fifth time we'd see them live (second time this summer, first at Concert @ SEA) and it was AWESOME once again. ;)
My favorite moment of this show was the Elvis tribute: A Big Hunk O' Love
The King died 35 years ago and is still missed...

Of course we have a lot of pictures of this show!

Chapter 2: Berlin!!!!!!!!

I have to say I would've never thought Berlin was that beautiful! Really, I mean, if you've never been there you SHOULD go there. It's definitely worth it. Because of limited time we could only visit the most obvious tourist attractions. Although, 'tourist' might not be the right word. Berlin is touristy, sure, but I never had the feeling the landmarks tourists visit are exploited to the bone. I like the way Berlin acts around it's landmarks: just the landmark, a bit of information and voilà: one of the most beautiful cities I ever visited (and although I'm still quite young, I've visited a lot of cities already). Unlike Rome, Berlin never gives you the feeling that you're being a tourist. I know I'm making it difficult to understand, but maybe some of you recognize this feeling (or so I hope, because otherwise I'm really making a fool of myself here)!

I Love Berlin!

Chapter 3: US Car Classics

The wonderful location at Schloss Diedersdorf and the wonderful weather made it a success: lots of classic cars came out. I think in this case pictures say a lot more than words. Enjoy! 








































That was that for my photo-rich blog post about our trip to Berlin! :)
