Here Now the summary report from our trip to Germany. The sun we had packed up and so it happened that we reached only 11 ° C in Frankfurt, but the car was waiting already and the heater worked well ;-) This holiday was meant to relax, not to many things around. The first images come from Zwenkau therefore, view from Zwekauer port on the future lake and city hall in Leipzig, former UNI-giant and the Battle Monument ..
looked in the other direction, we see the church and the water tower, and provide guidance to many Zwenkauer if you are looking for a way home ;-)
Zwenkauer The moon is easier than to shoot in Shanghai, the air in Germany is simply much more clear. A meeting of the inhabitants of the Garden Journal, is apparently on a break and take a nap.
Nevertheless, a tour was in the Saxon Switzerland announced. We could not even hang out not only in Leipzig. With our friends B & B we went to Rathen and climbing the bastion. There, we met 2 friends B & M and spent the day all together. Here the first look at the ferry Rathen just passing by and a passenger ship of the White Fleet, the "Pillnitz.
Looking Up the first rocks of the Elbe sandstone. There are countless levels went uphill ...
... past bizarre rock formations and holes through the middle of Sweden. There was quite narrow and somewhat obese people had been there to move the belly to get through. (I will not give any names and talking to anybody ;-), we have only the oncoming once figured and noted that there were a couple of well fed people standing there)
offered Reaching the top at last a naturally beautiful view of. The tips of the peculiar rock in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains were inhabited even ;-) or wanted to grill someone there ...
The view down on the Elbe, and to our starting point at the ferry with the telephoto lens was very good, otherwise it would have been quite small.
Here are the bastion bridge, since I can think, always a magnet for visitors, tourists now expanded of course, much more than in GDR times. On the other picture we look down on the river Elbe in the Czech Republic or initial direction Bad Schandau and into the parking lot where the car is. One has to always keep an eye on everything ;-).
A well-known Rock formation is the locomotive, not difficult to see the characteristic shape. Sometimes when the clouds are good, you can correct the smoke seen coming from the chimney. Admittedly it, I have not seen, but I can imagine it well. Nature is also a lot of effort, wherever it is somehow possible to let something grow. Thus, even the trees cling to the nearly bare rocks and produce bizarre shapes.
A last look down at the shimmering golden Elbe and then in no time at Königstein, there already waiting for the grill with sausages on Saxon us who had brought frendlicherweise B & M and we already expected, the two were equally bad that is driven by car to ur Bastion and therefore much faster when we walk back down.
drove After the break we have to Pillnitz grill to make a stroll at dusk through the park ...
... and to look at the Elbe river as the sun or the sun to capture the same ;-)
No, no, no, that's not the way you think , this grill is once again a few days later with friends (U & M). There, too, were delicious sausages, steaks and Meat balls. Yes you have to use times when you'd usually comes to barbecue. Then it was almost time again and the flight home was near.
flew with this juggernaut (Boeing 747-400) by Air China, we are back home. Heading again looked to see if everything was in it and slept at least six sins.
look down at an airport, no idea where was it ;-)
much we could not in such a short time, a zoo fell into the water and the Berlin trip must wait until the next time.
The first week here in Shanghai is already over and the last picture shows our balcony at a "BBQ Party for 2", after we had bought at the "Metro" garden furniture and a disposable grill.
Until next time,
Lily & Lutz
