Down hill with the sun.
Today felt like my first summer day this year. I haven’t had many (any??) pool days this summer so today I spend 3 hours doing nothing. At the pool. When I got tired of my own laziness (and after trying Herthas Kaiserschmarrn, which deserves its own post) I put on my jogging gear and climbed the mountain. Perfect Sunday. ———————— … Read More
Up before sunrise
It started with an early and long walk up the hill and around the lake. I did not take a swim, but I envied the old lady that decided to. When I got back to the Villa Mellon Hertha made me Breakfast and I baked Bread. We ate together and were not finished until 12. I love mornings. Hertha told … Read More
Bread Exchange in Kitzbühl
My plans got changed rapidly as my wishlist hotel turned out to be fully booked. Thoose things happen when you get wrapped up in visiting a new city and forget to reply the confirmation request mail. And thank God for that. Since I had a meeting in Kitzbühl this early evening I decided to stay. I googled on my iphone … Read More
Where I sleep like a princess.
It is simple, my München hide away.. This pension was established in 1897. During the war it turned into a ladies house, under the name “Femina”. And after the war it host the first Nightclub in München, all to satisfy the needs of the American military that were still hanging around in the area. Don’t expect luxury. No fancy breakfast … Read More

Beer Bread for Berlin
Today I have made my latest fav. bread: Kellerbier Brot with apricots. Personally I would have it with Roquefort, but a salty butter will do too. The beer I used is a trade with St. Georgen Bräu in Bavarian Buttenheim. The flour is a canadian Manitoba flour, grinded at the KunstMühle in München. The salt is a sea salt from … Read More
Lunch Break
In between store scouting and meetings I made sure to get time for Lunch. I brough my own to the Spanish Royal Riding school in Vienna. ———————– But seriously, I would have loved to do a series of pictures of all the young girl practically hanging over the stone wall to the horse show. The excited glow in their eyes … Read More
Early Birds
I am not sure if I feel very young or very old when I wake up at a time when the kitchen maid didn’t even arrive to prepare the breakfast at my hotel. I remember just a few years ago I was rather the guest that always asked for “let check-out” and “late Breakfast”. But these days are far gone … Read More
WIEN, the first Impression
So far all is good. I have been childishly excited about this trip to Vienna. To be honest, I have not been so excited about a city trip in a very long time (and believe me, I am always looking forward to traveling…). But there was something about my picture of Vienna that was very attracting. A little bit the … Read More
