Wie kommt die Olive in die Flasche?

Well, at night it does get down to 3°C here in the mountains. So I preferred to keep my roof closed and rearranged everything inside. Fortunately, I didn’t freeze. I also...

I met Karl-Heinz again at the Adriatic to hand over his oil order. The Adriatic near Cattolica, just before Rimini, was also disappointing on the second impression. This 70s...

The last three summer harvest days were quite eventful. However, the final day offered a wonderful view over a new valley. On our way there, we drove through tobacco fields,...

What can I say ... A day of harvest under the bright sun is beautiful and satisfying in this environment. However, it is also quite exhausting. The olive grove is located on a...

Finally, the sun is out, and that means work too. But first, I enjoy my morning coffee with this wonderful view over the valley. Then the olives are dry, the nets are laid out,...

What I first learned about the olive harvest is that it should not take place in humid conditions because the olives can rot quickly, and no one who really cares about quality...

As beautiful as Lake Garda is, we had to move on - to be precise: I had to move on. Karl-Heinz had 100 days to find some sun somewhere and was kind enough to want to accompany...

Saturday early in the morning, it began - I overcame the first hurdle. Sunrise near Leipzig, no traffic jams to Munich, and by noon I was at the parking spot at Walchensee....

Given the bright sun and the resulting heat, we no longer really felt like going on long hikes. There was nowhere to hide. We spent some days lazing around in the quarters,...

"...There's a lot of tequila that makes you happy." ... mezcalito and a strawberry margarita for me. Tequila and mezcal are distilled from agave (I learned that,-)) So only blue...

Speaking of the shower, after two days of use it was so leaky that the repairman had to be called again, who was then able to take Dietmar to acupuncture (he already knew it) on...

Category: My most beautiful holiday experience We are slowly getting closer to my idea of vacation. After we took the bus to the fashionable neighboring town of San Carlos, I...

The craftsman actually showed up at 8:30 a.m. with an old Mustang, took photos everywhere and unpacked his tools. The two cleaning people also came, as promised. I went out with...

After 10 days in Hermosillo, capital of the desert state of Sonora, we are now sitting on our packed bags, saying goodbye to our spacious house on the outskirts of this...

Sleep in, have breakfast and leave at some point... I think we arrived in Bahia de Kino sometime around 3 p.m. There were small sunroofs everywhere and below them the families...

They go for walks, shop, occasionally cycle or hike up the mountain and they go out for a fancy meal. We definitely went hiking and once again we climbed an unknown peak. Even...

The temperatures are a pleasant 25 degrees and a light wind is blowing under my blouse. Then Paul offers me a hike together - HURRAY! :-) Dietmar has problems with his shoulder...

With Uber we quickly get to the center, past Walmart and back again. It really is an uncomplicated way of getting around for tourists who are unable to communicate. Dropping...

In Hohen Neuendorf the eternally gray sky weighed heavily on my mind, but here I am grateful for it. It made hiking much more enjoyable. Even a few drops fell from the sky....

I never thought I would travel to Mexico just to see my son again. It's been a year since he danced with Odette on my birthday. Shortly afterwards they left and now I'm sitting...

... nothing 'only'! End, over, finished, we're home. And suddenly it all went very fast. We enjoyed winter in Pustertal on cross-country skis for 3 days and then my 'steed'...

We went down to Carcassonne through the Pyrenees. This castle had been on my sightseeing list for years, but I didn't expect to visit it in winter. But what does winter mean in...

So the dream, but like everywhere in Europe, the snow was only lightly powdered over a few peaks; individual slopes covered by snow cannons. Oh, by the way, 'Europe'! Andorra...

Our time in Spain is running out. It can't go any further east and just before the border there is culture in double pack. From Alicante, we went in 2 stages to just before the...

After the chapter 'Christmas' comes the chapter 'New Year's Eve', but until then we have done a lot with Ines. The beginning was made by the once most dangerous hiking trail in...

We spent a whole 10 days in Coin, 40 km above Malaga, together with Michas sister and partner. After the long time in the Vito, the apartment with its approx. 50 sqm seemed big...

It gets cooler in the evenings ... and mornings too. The sun only rises around 8:30 in the morning and it's gone by 6pm. We have visitors coming over Christmas from Micha's...

Through the Sierra de las Nieves and the rain it goes down to Marbella. We did not choose the campsite in Cabopino by chance. My brother's girlfriend arranged a meeting with her...

Sorry!!! ... old school joke ... embarrassing! ... I know ... never mind ... had to get it out ... For days, these birds have been captivating us as they circle above our heads....

In Tarifa, the days flew by and suddenly the week was over. We were somewhat surprised, but the corner was really beautiful and I can understand why everyone raved about it. The...
