Sunshine

So I am not the biggest fan of sunshine, but I do see the value, and so far in my trip to Germany I haven't seen sunshine. Now I have.

Ulezener Advents Calendar

So Ueltzen has this interesting thing which is an Advent calendar with art. So as the days go by, each window is uncovered, and new fresh art is shown. Quite the thing nightly. Make sure you have some gluwien too.



And to highlight the day is a spotlight from the other side of the street.

VW

Ok so I haven't visited any other car companies but that in winter their bicycle parking is full is awsome.

Berlin

I went to Berlin to meet up with family, and ended up finding out quite a bit about Berlin. I had been there before, but without a guide there is only so much you see. The S bahn was right outside my hotel in the Tiergarten which is also in the background.

Power

Yes another trip to Germany, how could I not include these majestic fellows. On the way to Berlin, I saw these wind turbines standing there. What you don't see is that they are not moving, even though there is wind. I wonder why that is.

Fancy staying at a Castle?

You can. In the Colditz youth hostel. Very nice, newly refurbished, the only downside? No internet. But thats ok by me.

St Lorenz Kirche

Ahh Nurenburg. Anyway this time of year there are many of these Wiennacht Markets in Germany. They are wonderful places with food and gifts and stuff to buy.

Snow and Germany

A little bit of a shock after coming from Hong Kong, is the cold and the snow in Germany. More shocking to the body was having to walk around in a t-shirt in 1*C weather in London and Frankfurt, as the planes did not have the enclosed gangways. Brrr!

But seeing the snow made me smile, fortunately no snow from the sky though which helps with driving.
