Fall trip 2022: Quedlingburg

Fall 2022 my friend had just moved over to Munich and we had decided to go on a trip to celebrate! We had been planning on going to Tuscany, but it was just after Oktoberfest in Munich and she had a lot of in person things to go to for work resulting in people she was in close contact with testing positive for Covid. We decided to cancel our plans because a) We don't want Covid and b) if she did catch it right before leaving and would be really sick it is nicer to be sick at home than on vacation. So we chatted and there is a pumpkin festival in Ludwigsburg and we decided to meet up there for a long weekend instead.

Raymond and I decided to still take a week to go hiking and explore a new to us area - Harz! And I am so glad we did! It was gorgeous!

The first stop was Quedlingburg. We got there in the evening so once we were settled in we wandered the town to see what we could see. It was pretty empty which was odd as it wasn't that late, but really pretty.

The next day we went on a full tour of the town. It is not that big so it was pretty easy to navigate around.

There were more people out and about during the day

St Servius church is up on a hill

With views over the town

For an afternoon snack we got these chimney treat! They were all vegan!

And wandered back up to the lookout to enjoy the views once more

Quedlingburg was such a cute town. It was like we were in Beauty and the Beast, my favorite!

The final days in Paris

Our second day of our museum pass we used to go to the Louvre. It so huge - we spent from open to close there and just managed to see everything. It is also very confusing how to get from point a to point b - so many stairs and up and down floors just to see the one floor....good thing I had Raymond or I would have wondered aimlessly forever (but by the end I had the hang of it). We started with the medieval Louvre, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Egyptian Antiquities. When we first walked in we were right behind a few tour groups, but somehow we lost them pretty quick and we able to walk around and brows without tons of people. I cannot imagine going during the summer when it is super crowded. I liked the different colors of stone on some of them After that we got some lunch nearby then headed back to look at the paintings Then my favorite part - decorative arts. So much fun pretty things. Replica of Napoleons apartment. Then ...

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Day 11 - Kerid Crater & Reykjanes Peninsula

Day 11 our first stop was Kerid Crater. This was nice, but nothing special. You have to pay to get in, you can walk around the top and then down to the water, but if you are going to be seeing other craters then this is an easy one to skip. Nice, but nothing special.

Stupid Libraries.

So I only have six minutes left and just wasted a few seconds letting you know, but I need some assistance in getting things off our iPod onto the net. In the last town we were in, I came so close to getting it up only to be thwarted by the only damn cd -burner in the shop being broken. This is the problem: my iPod is mac formatted - the folks at Apple thought it would be hilarious to not include some sort of compatibility between windows and mac versions of iTunes to read the voice memos you record from any computer. If your iPod formatted on a mac (I believe it's HSF +), windows iTunes will tell you to reformat the buggar . And get this, the iPod records voice memos in old school PC style wav files. What the hell. Anyway, I can't test or install things on this library computer, but if someone checking the blog who is tech savvy could find a program to retrieve data from a mac formatted iPod from a windows machine - a program that doesn't use a god damn install ...
