About My Days

Munich

hbr — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:15:29 +0000

We have been on a trip to Munich.

Not being the biggest fan of Southern Germany we planned this trip anyway, since it was time to visit a good friend.

I have been living in Munich for half a year and I remember the weather being moody there. On this visit it was no different. On arrival it was cold and wet. It stayed that way almost till the end of our trip. Only on the last days it became better.

So, the first days we mainly visited museums like

Deutsches Museum
Pinakothek der Moderne
Neue Pinakothek

By chance we also were staying in Munich when they had the “Lange Nacht der Museen”. Many more museums there.

When the weather turned to the sunny side, we did two day trips. One to the Hirschberg and one to Starnberger See.

Here are some photos of this trip:

Do you trust your eyes? After this talk you will think more about what you see.

We made a present to my parents and it was a visit in Dierenpark Emmen. That is the zoo in the city of Emmen in the Netherlands. It turned out to be quite a nice weekend with many photo opportunities. Here are some results.

On August 14 we had a barbecue at our rowing club. I had my new Joby Gorillapod with me and just had to practice with it.

Ships and Hamburg Harbor

hbr — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 10:03:19 +0000

We had a Sunday trip to Hamburgs’s museum ships and a round trip by ferry in the harbor. There were the Vattenfall Cyclassics happening in parallel. So, the ships were less crowded than one would expect on a Sunday.

Our first stop was the Cap San Diego. She is a cargo freighter from the 1960s and here are the photos I took on her.

The last point on our list was to take a round trip on a harbor ferry. It took us from Landungsbrücken to Finkenwerden and back. We were lucky and got the chance to see a big container ship being hooked to a tug.
