Bisenthaler Becken Hike Jan 2024

For my birthday this year I didn't really feel like planning anything so we went back up to Bisenthaler Becken to hike around a different area than we have in the past. We love this area and this was a perfect day for hiking! We parked in Lobetal and first wandered around Mechensee

Which is hard to tell as there is water on top, but the lake was frozen! Raymond commented that he thought it was and I was like I don't know is it? Then we saw some people walking on so yes, yes it was! We had had a lot of cold and snow the week prior, but that was all gone in Berlin, but it was so nice it was still frozen fun here!

And there was still snow on the ground!







We got to this part and I was like okay, that is a big puddle how to get across without getting my shoes soaking wet and again Raymond was like it is ice!

It looked like water though! So this was pretty fun



The ice in the tire tracks was also super cool - the darker spots are where the ice is and the lighter spots were frozen over where the air was. 


Like just bands of ice which was cool

A small outdoor church, but not in use in winter


We love this area already, but this was so much fun! All the snow, all the cool ice, all the things!

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 ...
