Sept Adventures 2023: Wernigerode

Today we wandered around Wenigerode seeing all that we could see


















The humming hole - put your head in and hum different pitches until you find your own tone. You will know it when you can feel the vibrations all through your body









You don't see me, you don't hear me, but believe me I am there!




It was so hot here which we were not expecting so of course we needed some gelato to cool off!

This fountain was so silly! It only went off every 90 seconds or so and almost got me when we arrived! We took a break right by here and saw it almost get everyone who came by






We decided to try out some bubble tea for our walk to the fish ladder. We had never had it before and...it was super sweet, but better than I expected

We took a long break in the shade by the fish ladder


Then to dinner at La Collina because Italian sounded good. We tried the bruschetta...which had no flavor. Like the tomatoes were very pale, but the olive oil they used? Not good. No flavor. So sad

And my favorite - Aglio Olio...this is spaghetti with garlic and olive oil and again it had no flavor! I don't know how you can have an Italian restaurant and not use good-ish olive oil! I mean what I use at home is not super expensive, but it is really tasty. This was so so disappointing (and it is hard to disappoint me with pasta!)

It was a good day of wandering, with a disappointing food ending. Oh well.

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 ...
